In California, 70-year-old Craig Cowley was released. He served 39 years in prison for double murder. The new investigation has decided that there is not enough evidence of his guilt, writes Los Angeles Times.

Crowley was arrested in 1978 for killing 24-year-old Rhonda Wicht and her 4-year-old son Donald. The bodies of the dead were found in their home in the small California city of Simi Valley. Rhonda Wicht was raped, beaten and strangled with a rope for weaving macrame. Her son was also strangled.

Cowley met with a woman for about two years. He was detained on the same day when the bodies of the dead were found. The prosecution stated that on the night of the murder near the house of Ronda saw a car similar to Craig Cowley's car. A search of his home found a towel and a T-shirt with traces of blood. The prosecutor also claimed that Cowley was depressed due to Rhonda Wicht’s decision to part with him.

A man was convicted of 1980 and sentenced to life imprisonment.

A new investigation into the murder of Rhonda Wicht and her son began in October 2016, after police chief Simi Valley David Livingston spoke to retired detective Mike Bender, who doubted Craig Cowley’s guilt. During the investigation, DNA analysis of biological samples found in a private laboratory was conducted. Previously it was believed that they were lost or destroyed.

Examination showed that there are no traces of Craig Cowley's DNA in the surviving samples, but there is the DNA of other people. Whether their identities are established, the police does not report.
