Investigators say DNA and genetic genealogy research pointed to Elliott Higgins, who died in 2014, as the suspect in three cold cases.
Capt. Jack Kennedy of the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office in Alabama stands among open-case files.Santa Fe, N.M.—Within the world of devoted French-horn players in the U.S., Elliott Higgins was a pioneering figure. As a young hornist in the 1970s, he helped launch the first French-horn soloist competition in America, inspired by the performances of European players. He conducted the Albuquerque Philharmonic, and started a renowned annual French-horn workshop that drew top talent from across the country. And during summers, Mr. Higgins, with his wisps of white hair and crimson cheeks, could be found teaching aspiring players at his family’s music camp tucked away in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico.
