Forensic Files II

narrator: in a possible break, they were handwritten -- a potential source of evidence. as much as they could do was handwriting analysis, so they had multiple letters and multiple exemplars for handwriting analysis. narrator: the problem was that without suspects, there was no one to compare the handwriting to. details of the murders and excerpts from the letters were broadcast on television. hundreds of tips poured in, but none panned out. baldock: i think one of the most frustrating aspects for investigators was, despite the number of leads that they had, none of them were really viable. narrator: in 2003, improvements in dna technology made it possible to identify a potential suspect from the male dna taken from the crime scenes, but who was it? since it was an unknown person, we gave it the designation of individual "a,"

and that was all we knew. narrator: by this time, codis, the national dna database, was in full swing, but the dna sample from individual "a" didn't match anyone in the system. years and years went by with no luck, no matches in the database. narrator: in 2010, dna analysts turned to the letters. using touch dna, they were able to lift a genetic profile, but it did not match the dna of individual "a." in an attempt to generate more leads, copies of the letters were broadcast and published. amazingly, someone recognized the handwriting. a potential suspect was finally identified and confronted. he readily admitted that he wrote the letters and apologized for doing so. narrator: and the letter-writer's dna

i just thought, nathan, you've got to be strong. we will get through this. >> his lawyer, former prosecutor turned defense attorney who argued the investigation was faulty. >> there were certain preconceived notions of who did it for lack of a better term. it never went anywhere. for that reason, i'm going to ask you to find nathan not guilty. >> he insisted the cops zeroed in on him from the start and never pursued any other leads. >> this was an incomplete investigation. while the spouse, nathan in this case, would've been the logical place to start, the problem with that is if you follow that gut feeling, that will cause you likely to miss other things. in this case, simply not look for them at all. >> what about the cars nathan said he had seen in the
