The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office issued charges in a sexual assault case involving a minor from 1992.

Miguel Canizares of Spring, Texas, was charged with two counts of sodomy and one count of sexual abuse in the first degree Thursday.

The victim was 14 years old when she was assaulted outside Parkway North High School after a soccer game.

Lt. Col. Jerry Lohr is St. Louis County Police’s commander of the division of criminal investigations. He said investigators believe Canizares had no personal connection to the victim.

Other police departments across the country are investigating cases that may be linked to the suspect since he left St. Louis in 2015. Lohr said the suspect also briefly lived in Orlando and New Orleans.

Officials said Canizares is currently being held in Montgomery County, Texas, and will be extradited back to St. Louis within about two weeks.

Lohr said anyone with information about a sexual assault case is welcome to come forward — no matter how long it’s been since the incident.

“Thirty-three years is a very long time to wait for justice and closure for such a heinous crime,” Lohr said. “There’s always a chance that at some point we can identify, locate and arrest suspects for these types of crimes.”

This is the second cold case pursued by the St. Louis County cold case unit since it was founded last September.

County prosecutor Melissa Price Smith said advances in DNA technology have allowed the department to reopen cold cases.

“We’re here today to send a message to the victims and families of victims of unsolved cases,” Price Smith said. “We have not forgotten you.”

Lohr said this case was reopened early last year in cooperation with the FBI, before the cold case unit formed.

“DNA testing is also very, very costly,” Lohr said. “Not that you can put a cost on a victim’s justice, but understand that we try to find those cases that we think are going to we’re going to have the best success with when it comes to sending out samples for analysis. If we could test everything, we would.”

Officials said anyone with information on any sexual assault case, including this one, is encouraged to call 314-615-5400 to reach St. Louis County detectives.
