Victim: Jennifer Bastian Perp: Robert Washburn Location: Tacoma, Washington Date of crime: August 4, 1986 Arrest: 2018 Plea: 2019 Jennifer Bastian, 13, rode her bike to Point Defiance Park in Washington on August 4, 1986. She was seen by several people as late as 6pm, but never returned home. Her body was found August 28. The case went cold, but police recently announced they have been continuing to investigate new tips, interview witnesses, and possible suspects to obtain any new leads. Now they are officially relaunching the investigations from three decades ago hoping that investigators will get fresh leads from the public. An arrest was ultimately made of Robert Washburn through the help of forensic genealogy. He took a plea deal and was sentenced to over 26 years behind bars. The Pierce County Prosecutor's Office said the suspect charged with killing a Tacoma girl in 1986 will change his plea to guilty later this month. Robert Dwane Washburn is charged with murdering 13-year-old Jennifer Bastian in August 1986. She disappeared after riding her bike to Tacoma's Point Defiance Park. In 2013, the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab created a suspect profile from DNA found on the girl's bathing suit. Three years later, Washburn came up on a list of suspects to collect DNA from. He agreed to give a sample and the WSP Crime Lab made a match. Authorities arrested 60-year-old Washburn in Eureka, Illinois. He was extradited to Tacoma, where he pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
