In late March 1969, Jane Mixer was found in Denton Cemetery, just off Michigan Ave, a few miles east of Ypsilanti, in Wayne County. A law student at the University of Michigan, she had been shot and strangled. At the time, she was thought to be a victim of Ypsilanti serial killer, John Norman Collins. In 2005 DNA evidence led to her true killer.

@alexandreleverrier LOL sounds like he said that
did I hear DMA at 00:36 ?
i miss ann arbor and taking classes at U of M..i lived with my girlfriend in a sorority house ;P
Well Granted DNA is almot ALWAYS %100 right there has always been said that their is a possibility of it being wrong. But the possibilities are usaually like A TRILLION to one and this one guy just…Happened to be that ONE.
There was also a lot of other compelling evidence against Leiterman. His handwriting matched that which was left in the phonebook and he happened to work in that area at the time.
Ah. OK. So that helps clear that up.
I’m with you. That’s always been my understanding. The old “snowflake” theory. Each one unique – except twins.
that inmate looks like hedo turkoglu from the raptors
A third possibility:
Unfortunately, DNA testing doesn’t sequence the entire genome, but only a certain subset of genetic markers. Say, 50. They can then examine those markers compared to other reference samples and say things like “the probability of someone else having the same sequence of markers is one in 5 million” or something. Depending on the individual, the rarity varies.
It’s very uncommon, but not unheard of, that they’ll find a match to someone with the same markers.
Well I saw the rest of the episode and just like one of the people that commented at the end, I would not want to be put into prison that way, with the explanation that the child’s DNA was a mistake. Why didn’t they test again? We’re talking about a person who went to jail and maybe had nothing to do with it.
Two theories: one is that there was lab contamination and the second is that the four year old somehow interacted with the body leaving his DNA before it was found.
How is it possible that the DNA mistakenly matched the guy who killed his own mother? I mean is this possible, I thought DNA was unique to the individual, except identical twins.
Murdering his own mother?
WTF?
