of the first instances of the CODIS software identifying a suspect in a Woodfin crime. “As technology advances, it is foreseeable we are going to solve


more and more cases that were ar- guably unsolvable,” he said. Guge said prior convictions on


Morales were primarily for alcohol- related incidents. Morales was a resident of Woodfin in 2005. “For the people who may say


drinking and driving is not a major crime, you never know when that drunk driver is somebody we’ve


been looking for for five years,” Guge said. Te victim, whose name and lo-


cation is not being released, did not know Morales, Guge said. He added she has communicated


with authorities about the latest de- velopment and is pleased investiga- tors are in the first step of bringing closure to the case.

ing to Goins, they separated two days later, and he filed for divorce while in- carcerated in 2002 in Polk County. Stout’s complaint at the sheriff’s


office states she never received any divorce papers prior to the marriage of Goins and Fisher. According to records, Stout, 48,


lodged similar complaints against Goins on two separate occasions in 2009, but no criminal charges were brought against the Weaverville man. Goins said much of the disagree-


ment between Stout and him stems from their 14-year-old daughter Al- exandria. Custody has gone back and


forth between the two, leading, ac- cording to Goins and Fisher, to many issues and false accusations. “It boils down to spite,” Fisher


said. Goins is due in Buncombe Coun-


ty court April 9. A bigamy charge carries a maximum sentence of 30 months.
