Police are hopeful a new investigative DNA tool could lead to a breakthrough in a 40-year-old Gold Coast cold case murder.
Owen Edward "Eddie" Crabbe, 57, was found dead in his room at the Beachcomber apartments in 1982. His killer has never been identified.
Police have now used DNA obtained from blood samples at the scene to generate a picture of what his killer's face could have looked like – the first time "investigative genetic genealogy" has ever been used in Queensland.
