I remember one detective saying to me, you just have to wait till because again. But the trail grew cold. The file forgotten, until decades later, someone dusted it off. The whole goal of these cases was to try and see the thing thats hiding in plain sight. There were clues. A mysterious weapon made of wire, the wedding invitation, a midnight sale to know where. Where they enough to catch a killer . I was 100 percent confident that it was our guy. Now, the showdown a determined prosecutor against a famed defense lawyer, who helped set ogs in free. Im on the right side. After 35 years, it was finally time for justice. Its been a long journey. He was alone in his makeshift workshop. Had to be, for what he intended. Carefully he two of them, just a few inches each, sanded them down and drilled a hole in each one. And a piece of wire between them. Too thin, he doubled it for strength. His perfect weapon for his perfect crime. Warm outside in the brilliant sunshine, it was the summer of 197 ....
Saliva. this is an opportunity for us to say, hey, if you re not the guy, let s just move on with this. i thought that had already been determined. one by one, the dna results came in from all of lynne s old lovers and male friends. none of them matched the dna from the crime scene. including doug bradford. it definitely was problematic because, unfortunately, the more testing we were doing, we were getting dna. there was dna in the semen. sure. belonged to two males. not him. it wasn t him. yeah, it was definitely disappointing. i knew that what i really needed was some piece of new evidence that would help. something physical, something forensic they could take to the la county district attorney. you had to sell this thing, though, to your bosses, right? yeah, i do. i do. but still, wallace could not get his mind off that garrote. he must have missed something. ....
Was her. she loved to paint. both her late husband and doug took pride in framing and hanging them. she had one room that was basically like a small museum of her paintings. the paintings, could they hold a clue? wallace turned art collector and decided to take a few of them to the police station. then they went out to norma s garage, all kinds of old stuff lying around. looked like nobody had thrown anything away for quite a while. tucked away in the corner, there they were. we found a number of wooden dowels. not all of them were painted. only one was, and it was blue. it was a broom handle. we collected it. who would have believed it? almost 30 years later, it seemed pretty obvious that the broom handle used to make the garrote was still there. the broom handle was blue. the garrote handles had been ....
Was another file that had a brochure on a crossbow. even more disturbing, literally a manual on how to home-make and build a crossbow. he didn t make a crossbow. i m confident if i came into your house, i would not find manuals on how to build exotic weapons. but there was nothing in doug s house related to the other exotic weapon, the garrote. so what little optimism that detectives brought with them began to evaporate. but they had a second warrant for the very place doug lived when lynne was murdered. his dad has died, but his mother norma lived in the same house all these years later. what s the problem? an old 1979 murder case that we are revisiting. ....
the patrol unit detained and arrested an individual who is acting strangely nearby. it looked like he had blood on him? he did. his name was girardeau juarez and he appeared to match the description of the man running away from lanes apartment. they had to finish processing the crime scene at lindsey parliament, however. i saw these blood smears in the house that looked like it was caused by gloves. and there was no dna of course? back then we didn t have dna. all the blood we found was consistent with the victim. reporter: remember, this was 1979, before the advent of dna. fingerprints where the gold standard then. but the others could not be traced back to the murder. and that apparent murder weapon? the garrote? ....
