An arrest has been made in a 1988 Calcasieu Parish cold case rape.

Due to upgrades in technology since the original incident occurred, the SWLA Crime Lab recently submitted the DNA collected from the scene into Combined DNA Index Systems (CODIS). Detectives with the CPSO Special Victims Unit were later notified that the DNA was a match for Dartanyan K. Breaux, 57, of Lake Charles.
