The Solano County Sheriff’s Office said last week that a man already doing time for a murder in 1975 had been charged with the alleged shooting and killing of another woman in 1980, based on fresh Genetic evidence linking him to the slaying.<\/p>\n

Detectives were able to obtain a male DNA sample from the scene’s evidence by working with a private lab. The DNA was sent to the San Mateo Crime Lab, where it matched the sample with the DNA of Herman Lee Hobbs, a 76-year-old man who was already serving time for a previous murder committed in 1975.<\/p>\n

A new sample of Hobbs’ DNA was taken by the police, and it once again matched the male DNA recovered at the crime site.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Hobbs was transported from Valley State Prison to the Solano County Jail, where he was formally charged with the murder of Campiglia. According to inmate records, his next court date is on March 13.<\/p>\n

In 2005, Hobbs was found guilty of a different murder from 1975. California Department of Corrections spokesman told Fox News Digital that he was also serving time for unlawful sex with a victim under the age of 16, for which he was convicted in Yuba County in June 2001.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement is looking into the possibility that Hobbs is connected to other crimes. Contact the Solano County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 784-7050 if you have any information about the murder of Campiglia or any other criminal activity involving Hobbs.<\/p>\n
