A Reno, Nevada, man was in custody Saturday after California investigators said a new look at DNA evidence implicated him in the 40-year-old murder case of a kindergartner.
Robert John Lanoue, 70, was in Nevada's Washoe County Detention Facility based on allegations he violated a condition of parole and is a wanted fugitive for the Seaside, California, murder of 5-year-old Anne Pham, according to jail records and the area district attorney.
Bond for the defendant was listed at more than $1 million.

..."One of those labs, Astrea Forensics of nearby Santa Cruz, states on its website that it uses the latest technology, often off-limits to others as a result of patents, to reconstruct difficult genetic profiles that connect cases to suspects.
Those crucial profiles, which might not have materialized in the past, can even come from "highly degraded remains," the lab states.
"Our technologies are particularly adept for capturing ultrashort DNA fragments," it states. "These are fragments lost to traditional methods but are the most common DNA type in rootless hair and other degraded samples."
