CAPE CORAL, Fla. (AP) — A southwest Florida man has been charged with raping and killing an 11-year-old girl and her baby sitter 26 years ago. 
 
 The Cape Coral Daily Breeze (https://goo.gl/9g8Yuj) reported Wednesday that Cape Police Chief David Newlan says detectives learned last week that a recent arrestee at the Lee County Jail matched DNA from the old crime scene. State officials confirmed the evidence matches 54-year-old Joseph Zieler.

 Investigators didn't immediately know of any prior connection between Zieler and the victims.

 On May 10, 1990, the bodies of the victims were found in their apartment by Robin's mother, Jan Cornell. Both Robin and Story had been suffocated and sexually assaulted, officials reported. 
 
 The night before, Story had agreed to watch Robin while Cornell visited with her boyfriend. Cornell returned home the next morning to find her daughter's naked body on the floor of her bedroom. 
 
 Story's body was discovered in her bed. 
 
 Newlan reported that last week, Cape detectives were notified of a recent arrestee in the Lee County Jail who matched the DNA sample recovered from the crime scene. Zieler was interviewed and a body sample was taken. Within days, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement confirmed the matches. 
 
 "We know we have what we feel is a prosecutable case," State Attorney Stephen Russell said. 
 
 Zieler has been charged with two counts of homicide murder while engaged in certain felony offense, two counts of sexual assault and one count of burglary with assault or battery, according to records. 
 
 Over the years the case has been featured multiple times on "America's Most Wanted."
