The body of the stabbed 19-year-old was found near railroad tracks in 1989.
Police investigators said in May they believe there is a link among DeLeon's killing, the unsolved 1994 slaying of Diana Marie Ault in Independence, Missouri, and an abduction in 1987.
Investigators didn't say then why they believe the cases are connected.
New DNA collection and testing technology prompted police to reopen the DeLeon case in July 2014.
