Decoding the Ohio DNA Evidence and More Murder Investigations
Eight members of the Rhoden family were murdered execution style in Ohio, including a nineteen-year-old girl and a sixteen-year-old boy. DNA consultant Mehul B. Anjaria examines the DNA collection techniques used at the crime scene and what DNA experts look for when collecting evidence for execution style killings. We break down the DNA evidence in the case of Ingrid Lyne, the dismembered mother of three who went on a date and was never seen again. We also look into the wrongful conviction of Keith Allen Harward and the DNA evidence that finally proved his innocence after 33 years in prison and finally the murder of Krystal Beslanowitch in this episode of Crime Time hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.
