DNA testing is being done on bones found inside an old submerged car to determine whether they belong to two 17-year-old girls who disappeared in South Dakota in 1971, authorities told FoxNews.com.

Cheryl Miller and Pamella Jackson were last seen May 29, 1971, driving a 1960 Studebaker Lark on their way to a party. Authorities this week pulled a rusted Studebaker from an embankment in Brule Creek near Elk Point, and are processing evidence.

Miller's sisters, Rita Allen and Dawn Hewlett, live in Watertown. They told local station KELO-TV that they're grateful for the development in the cold case. They say their mother's biggest wish was "never give up" -- and no one has.

The sisters say they will wait to see what answers they get, and they aren't setting any expectations.

"Skeletal remains have been recovered, as well as additional items," authorities said in a press release Tuesday. "No further information will be released until a requested autopsy and further testing is complete."

The statement was issued after crews lifted the rusted, mangled hulk from an embankment in Brule Creek near Elk Point, which isn't far from the South Dakota town of Vermillion where Cheryl Miller and Pamella Jackson were from.

High spring water levels followed by a drought this summer helped reveal the old car. Authorities recovered a Studebaker hubcap and a license plate matching the car once owned by Miller's grandfather.

A fisherman, who remembered the 42-year-old case, told The Associated Press that he called authorities after noticing one of the car's wheels sticking out of the creek. It's not clear what, if anything, came of that phone call.

The disappearance of the Vermillion High School juniors was one of the initial investigations of South Dakota's cold case unit. The unit was formed in June 2004 to focus on unsolved suspicious deaths and disappearances; there's no time limit on filing criminal charges in homicide cases.

A September 2004 search of a Union County farm turned up bones, clothing, a purse, photographs, newspaper articles and other items, but not the car. Authorities have not ever said if the bones recovered were the girls' -- or even whether they were human remains.

A former professional boxer was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of murder in the 1987 slaying of his manager, Los Angeles police said.

An LAPD-FBI fugitive task force took Exum Speight, 50, into custody at his San Fernando home Wednesday morning, a day after an arrest warrant charging him with murder was filed, police said.

Cold case detectives said DNA ultimately linked Speight to the killing of Douglas Stumler, a 30-year-old Los Angeles County Housing Authority employee who was found dead inside his West L.A. apartment on March 31, 1987. Stumler sidelined as a boxing manager and worked with Speight, even living with him at some point during the mid-1980s, LAPD Det. Rick Jackson said.

Stumler spent March 29, 1987, with a friend and returned to his apartment alone, Jackson said. The friend called later that Sunday night, but Stumler didnt answer the phone.

Red flags were raised when Stumler a sports fan and Indiana native didnt meet with friends the next day to watch his Hoosiers win the NCAA basketball championship, Jackson said. When he didnt show up for work Tuesday, his friends grew more concerned.

They know somethings not right, he said.

A friend went to Stumlers apartment with the building manager and found his body.

Jackson said there was evidence of a pretty violent struggle that stretched across the apartment. There were multiple causes of death, he said, including strangulation and stab wounds.

It was not a quick thing, he said.

Speight initially landed on the detectives radar, as the boxer and his manager had a bit of an issue years before over stolen property, Jackson said. But the connections were circumstantial investigators were never able to definitively link Speight to the crime.
