  Speaker 2: three first degree murder charges. The arraignment has been postponed
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: until later this week, and he remains in custody without bail.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: According to the Ventura County District Attorney's office, the path
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: that led to Alexander's arrests began when he was extradited
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: to California from North Carolina, where he is also a
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: suspect in another cold case murder from nineteen ninety two.
• 2:53

• 3:25
  Speaker 2: seventy seven. Authorities were finally able to connect Alexander to
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: these heinous crimes after a DNA sample entered into a
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: national database last year provided a match. This breakthrough was
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: made possible through the use of investigative genealogy, a technique
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that had previously linked Alexander to the unsolved North Carolina
