Ventura PD is one of the best police departments in the country. I am so grateful that these men and women will risk their lives to ensure our safety! I appreciate them so much, especially since some of these comments are spouting things they just don’t know about. Being a police officer in today’s times is very hard. They just don’t know who is for them and who isn’t. I’m very thankful for each and everyone of them.

It really sounds like the Jana Rowe case.

Great job officer Buck and team! I love Ventura and the Ventura PD is so awesome! Stay safe and well wishes.

Ventura County needed a grant for just $8000 to solve a marder investigation? LOL. Their police force are one of the highest paid in the state! Some thing doesn't sound right.

Thank you for solving this horrific crime. God bless Marcie and Danielle's children. 💖

Why Doesn't Law Enforcement Put This Amount Of Effort And Enthusiasm Collecting Evidence So They Can Prosecute Crooked Officers, Politicians, Biden, Etc.... I guess laws and rules are ONLY for The Common Man.

Thanks for not giving up

What are these people bragging about? The killer was never held accountable. He died before they ever ID'd him. He got away with it. Gabrielle Wimer was giiddy and smiling talking about a rape-murder that took three decades to solve. Way to prioritize solving homicides VPD!

One of the cases that haunted me during my time as DA; congratulations and thanks to the VP for never giving up, a great professional organiztion...

Impressive account and story; well done to all the law enforcement and investigators on this. 🏆🏆

Chief you and your team need to write a manual for national distribution on interaction with the public and community based policing in general. I cannot think of another agency that matches VPD in this respect. This has nothing to do with this case but these types of videos, the social media use, changes the way people view your officers and staff. Your team to me are my neighbors, some I know personally it makes a big difference. Most of all my sons 7 & 10 see it and they have a very positive and trusting attitude toward police officers, they see you as people who are friendly and approachable. There are so many agencies that would benefit from VPDs experience in this regard.

"Incredible" ... find another word, geeze. Hard to believe police don't have the $ to move a murder case forward!

FIRST it'a about the TECHNOLOGY - - THEN it's about the MONEY! Just the Facts. Ma'm! Still - - GREAT WORK!

Not really solved They blaming a dead guy

There needs to be a federal DNA agency set up where police who don't have funding can get DNA tested it's ridiculous in this day and age that police can't afford to solve murder cases.

A police department - in California of all places - begging for $8k from a nonprofit to solve a murder case. Then bragging about their success. I wonder what their budget is for writing parking tickets and minor infraction$? This is shameful

What about their long lost brother in that asylum? Could be him?.....could be

Didn’t they say he was killed? How did he die?

Golden state killer was a COP.

so money stops cops from investigating......shouldn't our government fund a department to handle all DNA tests or geology testing for the police...without them worrying about cost

I find it unfortunate that the PD has to reach out to no-profits for "extra" funding to solve cases. The police should not have to wait for a grant in order to solve a case.

Thank You VENTURA POLICE DEPARTMENT Keep up The Fine Work

Crime Junkie helper fund the testing, I’m so proud to be part of that community.

Ditch the kindergarten-level hand talking

Ventura City Police Dept annual budget is $40 million. Hard to believe they couldn't spring for $8,000 to solve a murder. What's more important than that?

Seen by eyewitnesses with her, and by another circling around in the truck? Kinda sounds as if the case was treated like just another dead hookah back in the 80s. I don’t blame um, that 8k could’ve actually went to something useful.

Gabrielle Wimer misspoke when she said that law enforcement uploads DNA to all genealogy websites. In fact, they only use two: GedMatch and Gene/FTDNA. Both websites give users the choice of whether or not to allow law enforcement to use their DNA.

Ventura been there!

Was the DNA uploaded to gedmaatch? You don’t mention that site.

Who lived in the area where the murder occurred?

Great work by the Police. DNA is a miracle.

She was not correct. They can upload the crime scene dna to gedmatch and familytreedna only.

Cops acting like they did some remarkable thing to solve this crime. They solved nothing, the computer kicked out a DNA match and then the scientists did all the work. The scientists who did the dirty work to solve this case. But cops all want to jump on TV and other media to take credit for the great job they did when they had all the evidence for 30 years and couldn’t solve shite. Typical cop BS.

Danielle Clause, any relation to Santa? 🎅

Cold comfort. This genetic dna process has been available for YEARS.

Great work by all involved. Thank you for not giving up on the cold cases.

How many innocent citizens have been falsely arrested and/or brought up on false charges by your PD over the same period?

Mighty Soul! AMEN!

This is a made up story! Why should anyone trust words of lying police

Did Ventura PD solve it or did DNA solve it?

The lady moving her hands around while talking is very distracting

You mean, SCIENCE solved the case... again.

DING,DING,DING!! MAGIC****33**** SPELLCASTED,WAITING ON RESULTS,DING,DING,DING!!

👍🏾

Incredible work. God bless you all.

Great team work! DNA is amazing... I wish all police had enough money to solves these cases..😊

The real interesting crime to investigate in Ventura is why it took 33 years. They knew for a long time who did that. It is also interesting to find out that in solving 1 cold case they had unleashed 100 cases into Ventura county. 👺 What you are seeing is a cover-up by Ventura county. ✊

Is that up where the cross was ? I have a story but a Ventura police officer did it so my story lives with me.

Good to see credit given to those involved in solving this crime. Genetic genealogy really is a powerful tool. I found it interesting that Larry and Danielle shared the same birthday- July 24th. She was born in 1948, and he was born in '49. The horrific crime(s) took place nine days before their shared birthday.
