Authorities used discarded cans of iced tea to obtain the DNA of a man in Texas to tie him to a murder in Florida.

Yesnin Salvador Bonilla-Iscoa, 30, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 52-year-old Maria De Los Angeles Paulino.

Paulino’s boyfriend called 911 after he discovered Paulino unresponsive with “obvious signs of trauma” in her car in Orange County, Florida, around 12:19 p.m. on May 10, a probable cause arrest affidavit reviewed by Law&Crime said. Paulino’s sister had contacted the boyfriend to say they hadn’t heard from her. After calling her several times to no avail, the boyfriend pinged her cellphone on the Find My iPhone app and learned she was in an area in northern Orange County.

The boyfriend went to the location where he found her body.
