RACINE, Wis. (AP) — Police say DNA and genetic testing have led to the arrest of an Illinois man in the 23-year-old strangling death of a woman in southeastern Wisconsin. Police in Racine, Wisconsin, say 66-year-old Lucas Alonso of Zion, Illinois, was detained in Racine on Monday and charged with first-degree homicide in the slaying of 37-year-old Linda Fields. Her body was found under a low-hanging pine tree branch in the front yard of a home on Feb. 24, 2000. Investigatoras say DNA from Fields’ body matched Alonso. He told investigators he and Fields were having an intimate moment along the lakefront, a confrontation ensued, and he choked Fields.
