Cocoa Beach FL woman Amy Gellert murdered by home intruder in 1994.
After reading the CBS article I really only had one question, why haven’t they put the DNA found into a genealogy database and tracked down relatives?
Relevant text from article:
As for forensic evidence, DNA was found on the gun's magazine, but it may not be from the intruder.
"Part of the problem you have is we know the intruder was wearing gloves," Moriarty noted to Goodyear. "So if there's DNA, it could belong to whoever handed him -- that item."
"Correct," he replied. "Could be, or someone that had owned the item beforehand or someone that had used it with them."
But suspicion isn't enough. DNA found on the gun's magazine doesn't match Scott Manley, Dominic Kanuika or any other known suspect.
"It's still a track," Bugg explained. "So if it's not one of our suspects, but it's somebody that was linked to them, it's still a good thing."
