Last spring, detectives looked back into the case. Interviews with those who knew the victim and new information gathered about “events leading up to her murder" led to police identifying Spurling as a suspect, authorities said.

Anyone with information related to the killing is asked to call the West Sacramento Police Department at (916) 617-4747.
