Couch said in a news release that investigators have followed leads since Klotz’s death but haven’t been able to make an arrest.
Dean Aikens, who was police chief at the time, said he believed the slaying was drug-related.
Couch says solving the case remains important, particularly to Klotz’s relatives and friends.
