Cold case solved: Racine Police make arrest in 2000 killing of Linda Fields
RACINE, Wis. — The Racine Police Department has announced an arrest in the 23-year-old cold case homicide of 37-year-old Linda Fields.
Police arrested Lucas Alonso for first-degree homicide. He makes his initial appearance on Wednesday.
Fields' body was found on Feb. 24, 2000, at the base of a tree along Lake Avenue in Racine. The medical examiner at the time concluded she had been strangled. But the DNA database then did not help investigators find any DNA matches to catch a suspect.
About 20 years later, investigators found a DNA match after expanding their search to include family members of the DNA profile. There was a "one in one quadrillion" chance of getting a match, according to Racine Police Chief Maurice Robinson.
The chief said Alonso was arrested in Racine at his place of work.
According to a criminal complaint, Alonso told police that he met Fields at a bar and they later had sex outdoors along Lake Avenue. He admitted to police that he strangled her multiple times but claims she was alive when he left that night.
