Authorities in Texas say a cold-case fugitive, identified by name as Bobby Charles Taylor Sr., is arrested in Mexico after investigators use newer DNA technology to link him to the 1986 killing of a teenager in Porter, Texas. Multiple outlets report that 16-year-old Deanna Ogg was found dead on the side of the road on Sept. 27, 1986. Prosecutors and investigators allege Taylor murdered Ogg and that the case had remained unresolved for decades until DNA analysis provided new leads. Texas officials involved in the investigation say they used the updated DNA methods to generate results that connect Taylor to the victim, leading to efforts that culminate in his detention south of the border. The reporting describes Taylor as a fugitive in the case, and the new DNA evidence as a key factor in the arrest. Additional details about charges, court proceedings, and the specific DNA findings are not provided in the available summaries.
