Seventeen-year-olRoylene Alexander was raped and murdered in 1972. A construction worker found her body face down In the brush near the Weber River in South Weber. Convicted murderer Robert Lee Sales, a man suspected in several homicides and rapes, has remained the primary suspect, but police lacked enough evidence to make a connection. But after all these years there has come a glimmer of hope. DNA tests of blood and semen came back Monday pointing in d Sales general direction. Tests show that the man who killed Roylene has a 1 in 1.0(X) chance of being a Caucasian male with the same DNA traits. We have a 1 in 1.000 match right now but were hoping wed get more traits." Davis County Sheriff Robert Davis said, adding that they do not now have enough evidence to file charges against Sales. Shortly after Roylenes death Sales left the area, and was suspected in several other local rapes. Sales was picked up on a warrant in Montana in late 1972 and he was brought back to Utah. Davis County detectives had a chance to question Sales and take hair and blood samples. Sheriff Davis said his office still has that blood sample. The next step is to send that sample, along with hair found on Roylenes body, to a private lab where the DNA will be compared. The victims mother. 71 year-old Ruby Copps of Ogden, knows no test result in the world will bring her daughter back, but she hopes new charges will keep Sales in prison for the rest of his life. I want him off the street. I dont want him out there to harm anyone else. she said. Its been really hard on my family I mean its been this many years and weve just had to wait our turn." Sales is currently in the state prison serving a sentence for the rape and murder of a Box Elder woman. changes coming next week in Today newspaper Big WSU unveils Layton campus, future plans LAYTON Weber State University dedicated its new Davis Center during a public ceremony Gsu Sept. 18.
