The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is taking a second look at an unsolved Clay County homicide case.


Sheriff's detective Bryan Green says the BCA is conducting new tests on evidence found on the body of 22-year-old Renee Nelson.


Nelson was murdered in the fall of 1994; her body was found along the Red River near Comstock, Minn. in the spring of 1995.


Green says the BCA has new technology that could lead to a break. Green tells KFGO News preliminary testing uncovered new DNA evidence that may belong to Nelson's killer.


Investigators believe Nelson may have died from strangulation.
