John Arthur Getreu, from Hayward in Alameda County, was brought in on suspicion of killing 21-year-old Leslie Perlov
A 74-year-old man has been arrested for a murder committed 45 years ago after his DNA was submitted to a public genealogical website.
John Arthur Getreu, from Hayward in Alameda County, was brought in on suspicion of killing of 21-year-old Leslie Perlov in Palo Alto on Tuesday.
Perlov, who was 21 when she died, was last seen at her place of work as a law clerk at around 3pm on February 13 1973.
The victim's orange Chevy Nova was discovered the day she died abandoned at the entrance of an old quarry near Stanford University's campus, where she had recently graduated from.
Three days later her body was discovered by officers under a tree at the side of a mountain west of Stanford.
Perlov's death was ruled a homicide following an autopsy, due to the fact she had been strangled and left with a pair of tights stuffed into her mouth.
Leslie Perlov, 21, was allegedly murdered by John Getreu, after she was found strangled with a pair of tights in her mouth close to her alma mater, Stanford University

Her death remained a mystery until cold case detectives looked into the old case and submitted DNA evidence to the county crime laboratory, reports Sf Gate.
The results showed the profile of an unidentified man, who was only found when they the investigators collaborated with Virginia-based DNA technology company, Parabon NanoLabs.
The organisation, which contracts with police when DNA profiles do not match those stored on the national database, conducted a more thorough investigation.
Parabon looked into finding the unknown suspect's relatives through DNA as a way of tracking down the unidentified person's name.

A Sheriff's office statement read: 'Parabon submitted a genetic data profile created from the unknown crime scene DNA sample to a public genetic genealogy database for comparison in hopes of finding individuals who share significant amounts of DNA with the unknown subject.'
Getreu was identified after genetic matches helped the agency gather a list of possible offenders before obtaining his DNA.
It was not specified how they managed to acquire his DNA, but it is standard practice for the team to use items such as a used tissue.
The suspect was previously arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting and strangling the daughter of a U.S. Army chaplain, who was 16 at the time, AP reported at the time.
The car was discovered near Stanford University's campus, where she had recently graduated from (pictured)
At the time he was an 18-year-old staying with his father, a sergeant major in the Army in Germany, and was considered a juvenile during the case.
Getreu faced a maximum jail term of 10 years however it is unclear how the case was resolved.
Detectives are currently looking into whether Getreu is linked to any other unsolved cases.
This arrest comes after the Golden State Killer suspect Joseph James DeAngelo was apprehended by cops just outside of Sacramento, which used the same DNA matching process.
As did the case which led to the arrest of accused NorCal Rapist Roy Charles Waller in September of this year.
This identification method doesn't always give one possible suspect, but it does produce possible offenders and offers detectives new leads.
In Geutreu's case and that of the Golden State Killer officers used GEDmatch, which is a public website for tracing family members.
Although GEDmatch claimed that it does not work with police, the company's terms suggest it can be used for a range of purposes.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
