In a scene befitting a nail-biting mystery novel, Melissa Highsmith, a Texas woman kidnapped over half a century ago, has been identified by the authorities.
In January of 2004, a 23-year-old man was gunned down in front of a liquor store in Los Angeles. Police believed it was a gang-related shooting, but they were never able to find the murderer, and the case went cold.
Now, seven years later, the L.A.P.D. has finally solved the case, almost entirely by accident.
