A 66-year-old man has been charged in the death of Michael Thomas Longmore, the Edmonton Police Service's historical crimes section said in a statement on Monday. The EPS historical crimes section opened a review of the file in January 2019 and re-submitted exhibits to the RCMP laboratory for forensic testing. The test results identified a DNA profile that led police to a suspect, police said. "There is some luck involved to even have the opportunity to collect a DNA profile. Established in 2018, the historical crimes section has about 10 officers who investigate historical homicides, missing persons and cold case sexual assaults.
