Investigators hope new technology will help lead to a break in the case.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Detectives in Volusia County hope new technology will help them solve a cold case.

It’s been 36 years since the body of Roberta Weber was found in Daytona Beach.

Her remains were found near Clyde Morris Boulevard and identified in 2023, decades after their discovery.

Investigators believe her body may have been there for as long as six months with a rope around her neck.

Volusia County deputies said they were able to reconstruct the victim’s family tree using data from public genealogical sites.

Deputies said Weber would have been 32 when she was killed.

Investigators are actively working to solve the 36-year-old case.

They hope new technology will help lead to a break in the case.
