The investigation into Bland&#8217;s death led police to a related crime scene on the beach.<\/p>\n<p>The case eventually went cold, despite what police said was &#8220;exhaustive investigative efforts&#8221; and multiple cold case investigations over the years. Police said a suspect was identified with the help of Forensic Investigative Genealogy and other advanced forensic techniques.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of Santa Cruz police, authorities arrested 50-year-old Jeffry Brandenburg of Santa Cruz in connection with Bland&#8217;s killing. Brandenburg was taken into custody on Coral Street without incident.<\/p>\n<p>Police said Brandenburg has been transported to San Diego and was booked into jail for homicide.<\/p>\n<p>According to jail records, Brandenburg is being held without bail, with his arraignment scheduled for Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>\n          More from CBS News\n        <\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than three decades after a man was found fatally stabbed near a San Diego beach, authorities said&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243999,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[25599,38020,134,1331,74,76,75,1498,1878],"class_list":{"0":"post-243998","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-cold-case","9":"tag-fatal-stabbing","10":"tag-homicide","11":"tag-murder","12":"tag-san-diego","13":"tag-san-diego-headlines","14":"tag-san-diego-news","15":"tag-santa-cruz","16":"tag-stabbing"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243998\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
