Cold Case Solved After 22 Years | Madison News
Description
After 22 years, justice is finally served in the cold case of Linda Fields, who was strangled in 2000. A 69-year-old Illinois man, Lucas Ascencio Alonso, pleaded no contest, admitting he was with her the night she died — claiming they were hanging out after a bar and that he apologized before leaving. The breakthrough came in 2021 when a new investigator connected DNA evidence from an anonymous tip to the suspect’s son, leading directly to his arrest. Sentencing is set for December 1st, offering long-awaited closure to her family.
