Santa clara county murder case gone cold for more than 40 years has finally been solved. And county investigators and Sunnyvale Police credit the break in the case to new technology. Abc7 News Reporter ryan curry in the south bay with more on the victim and how authorities identified her killer. For more than 40 years, no one knew who killed estella mina. Its been a mystery since 1979, but now, because of dna and genealogy, police say they finally know her killer. We dont forget the victims and we dont forget the families and friends of those victims who still want justice. All this time, samuel silva was the murderer. Mina died here on the 400 block of doheny avenue in sunnyvale. She was stabbed multiple times while silva was trying to sexually assault her. After her death, there were no leads pointing to silva. No matter how many years its been. Ten, 20, 50 years, we want to get justice for those people. Authorities believe the two met while working at great america. Silva died in prison in 2008 while serving a federal gun charge. They say he had a lengthy criminal history, including attempted murder, rape and manslaughter. It wasnt until this year when the county and Sunnyvale Police tested new evidence matching silva to minas death. The advent of forensic genealogy allows us to be proactive, to try to find out the name and the person behind that profile without having to wait around. Now, Santa Clara County is going a step further. They launched a new hotline where people can submit anonymous tips. Cold case experts think this will help solve more murders. It could be the most seemingly insignificant piece of information that allows those investigators to connect the dots and finally get the answers that solve a case. Since 2018, deputy da baker and Santa Clara County have solved 16 cold case murders. Advancements in dna testing and genealogy will help them solve more. Da, especially for jane and john does every day. An unknown murder victim is given a face and a name through the use of genealogy tsay a necessary step in giving victims families closure. They shouldnt give up. Its more validation for them to continue fighting for answers in the south bay. Ryan curry, abc seven news. Now, ryan mentioned that hotline that Santa Clara County launched to help solve these cold cases. And the number you can see on your screen right now, 408 7922466. Just call that hotline if you think you have a tip the police need to know about. Local government in San Mateo County needs to do more to help struggling low income families.

That program was started by former congresswoman jackie speier, who is now running for county supervisor for this county is the richest county in california, the fourth richest in the country. And we have 30,000 kids living in poverty. Thats not repugnant to me. And i think to most people, one big recommendation in the creation of a new county department to oversee all of this, San Mateo County does not currently have one. Many believe that has hindered progress on fighting many of these challenges. A big step today toward making San Franciscos main library more earthquake safe. Today, the city announced the library was awarded a 6. 3 million grant to fund critical repairs and upgrades.

We dont need a moat right now, although a lot of the winter forecast predictions suggest that its going to be really raining quite a bit. Just like last year, although pretty mild right now. All right. Lets just look at the present. Yes. Yes one day at a time. One day at a time. Yeah, yeah. Lets definitely look at the present because we all know that winter could actually turn out different than what the predictions are. So were going to look at the short term forecast. All right, larry. And kristin, lets take a look at live doppler seven. We are watching some higher clouds that are right off the coast starting to stream into the bay area. Well be seeing more of those live view from our sutro tower camera. And its a bright view over San Francisco. It is 59 in the city, 64 in oakland, 60 from Mountain View to san jose. Youre currently 59 degrees in Half Moon Bay and youre just looking at sunshine from our south beach camera right now. Temperatures are running behind where they should be, 66 in santa rosa and napa, 70 in fairfield, 68 in concord. And heres a live view from our Golden Gate Bridge camera. A little breezy out there, but not terribly strong. Increasing high clouds overnight cold the next few mornings with below average high temperatures. And we are looking at elevated fire danger this upcoming weekend. So a fire weather watch going up saturday morning until sunday night. The concern is for the hills, lake mendocino and solano counties. Gusty winds are going to develop out of the north northeast. Thats going to lower the humidity. And that means any fires that do develop will grow quickly. So something to keep in mind as you notice, the winds coming out of the north at noon on saturday. But watch them picking up as we head toward saturday evening, 43 miles an hour in fairfield. And those gusty winds continue sunday morning. Calistoga, 40 miles an hour. And with those gusty winds comes heightened fire danger. So were looking at high to very high fire danger for parts of the north and east bay saturday afternoon going into saturday night, even going into the extreme category late saturday night into early sunday. So just keep that in mind. Sunday afternoon, the fire danger will still be elevated as we head towards tomorrow morning. Those increasing high clouds and then those clouds will thin away, thin out for the afternoon and the evening hours. Here are your morning temperatures. Even though were going to have those clouds around, its still going to get chilly. So were talking about mid to upper 30s in the north bay valleys. Most of the rest of you in the 40s and the 50 is definitely one of those mornings where you need to bundle up tomorrow afternoon. Upper 50s to the upper 60s and breezy conditions and a mainly sunny friday. The accuweather seven day forecast temperatures are going to come up for the afternoon moons this weekend, but the fire danger will also increase as you will notice for saturday night into sunday and then bright skies to start a new workweek. Its a halloween treat on tuesday for those trick or treaters. Mild conditions will continue through the mid and latter part of the workweek. Kristen and larry, thats just about perfect. Its not so hot that the kids wearing the furry costumes will get super heated. Thats very true, right . Absolutely. Kristen yeah, its not too cold for the princesses either. So thats good.
