DNA of a suspect linked to a 1996 cold case out of Denver, Colorado matches the DNA of an unidentified suspect from a 2000 Seattle homicide. Ricky Dawson, 62, was in prison in Florida for a 2001 homicide until he was extradited to Colorado this week and charged with first-degree murder over the killing of 35-year-old Terri Turachak on Oct. 5, 1996. Dawson's DNA profile out of the Florida case matched that of an unidentified DNA profile stemming from a May 28, 2000 sexual assault/murder case out of Seattle, according to a Denver police affidavit. In that case, the victim was found with multiple blunt force injuries and died of strangulation. Seattle police investigated and identified the woman killed was 40-year-old Debbie Cashio. In 2023, her name can be found at the Seattle Justice Center at 600 5th Ave on a leaf of remembrance. The Homeless Remembrance Project honored her during a vigil to keep her name alive while police continued to investigate.
