What has changed was either a new police chief or sheriff, I can't recall which. Whoever it is, reviewed the case in its entireity and made the pronouncement. Heard the report last night on CNN. CNN made it sound like a bungled investigation, specifically losing the car. DNA testing at the time was not as sophisticated as it is now. It pointed to Toole but wasn't 100% accurate. In addition to Toole's confessions, he even took investigators to the canal where the boys decaptiated head was later found!
If the Walsh family wishes to accept this as closure, then I think it is solved.
RIP Adam
