The case was finally solved in May 2023 when Wichita police made an arrest using DNA evidence collected during the initial investigation and genealogy websites where users had uploaded their DNA data to identify Ted Foy. It is the first time the Wichita Police Department has used this process to identify a suspect.

In March, Foy pled guilty to aggravated criminal sodomy, rape, aggravated sexual battery and attempted rape for the attack in southeast Wichita. As part of his plea agreement, Foy had to disclose how he chose his victim and knew where she lived.

District Judge Christopher Magana sentenced Foy to 310 months in prison.
