It’ll be 33 years this October since 10-year-old Sheila Renae Finch was found murdered in Speegleville Park near Lake Waco.

Her body was found fully clothed at the edge of the water. Beneath that clothing were multiple stab wounds.

“She’s found ... just dead and she’s wearing the same clothing that she was wearing when she left grandma’s house,” said Detective Michael Alston with the Waco Police Department.

But who killed her? That’s the question Waco police are still trying to figure out more than three decades after her brutal murder. But perhaps, recent DNA testing will soon help crack this cold case.
