Toronto police say DNA has helped them identify the man responsible for the 1984 murder of Christine Jessop, but investigators say the suspect is now dead.

Toronto Police Chief James Ramer identified Calvin Hoover as Jessop’s killer on Thursday. He was 28 at the time of the case and died in 2015.

The nine-year-old went missing on Oct. 3, 1984 in Queensville, Ont., and her remains were found three months later on New Year’s Eve in a rural part of Durham region. The little girl had been raped and murdered.

Kenny Jessop, Christine's brother said the suspect died by suicide a few years ago and was a friend of the family. Caryn Lieberman reports.
