10 years ago elderly couple murdered near lake Oconee, Georgia.
Russell Dermond, 88, decapitated. His head has not been found.
Shirley Dermond, 87, brutally beaten, dumped in lake, tied to cinder blocks.
Murders appear to have happened after, 5/1/14 and before 5/3/14.
FBI has now found DNA and cell phone evidence which they suggest connects one or more people to the crime, and says the perpetrators should be nervous.

My guess is the matching DNA may have only recently surfaced in law enforcement databases.

Hey amazing! The FBI solves a real crime and is close to closing the case!
They usually go after political enemies full time for the last 8 years!
Impressive FBI! /s

Or in one of those genealogy companies' databases, it wouldn't be the first time they would find some criminal through a close family member that did one of those DNA tests.

Hopefully we will soon find out, and can move this case to the solved mysteries side of the ledger…
Smith said in recent days, the lab experts have been trying to find enough DNA to look for a match through the CODIA database of DNA from thousands of convicted felons and certain other folks, and also for newer, genealogy-based testing. He says depending on the answer, investigators may evaluate whether to go with the technology available now or new technology that may be available in say a couple years.
