Det. Barr says this breakthrough in Michelle Veal's case could potentially lead to solving other cold cases believed to be part of the 'Hitchhiker Killings.'

SAN FRANCISCO -- Last week, the Sonoma County Sheriff's office announced that they've finally identified who killed a 32-year-old Union City woman and mother of three girls in 1996.

Veal's brutalized body was discovered on July 15, 1996, the day of her youngest daughter's seventh birthday. She had been unceremoniously dumped along the side of Stony Point Road near Cotati.
