A Time to Kill - Season 4 Episode 1 -
To Stalk a Co-Ed

A college student is strangled to death in her Bryan, Texas, apartment. Investigators are hard-pressed to find anyone who would want to kill such a bubbly and dynamic woman, but DNA discovered on the scene proves there's at least one person who wanted to do her harm.

about

Jenna Verhaalen 20

On April 9, 2008, Spencer stopped by Jenna’s apartment at 11:00 am to pick up a textbook he had forgotten there the night before. Instead, he was met with a grisly scene; Jenna was lying on the floor of her living room, cold to the touch






in this case the boyfriend was the prime suspect, he was the last person to see her alive and the first person to discover her.

however, his DNA did not match skin under Jenna's right hand finger nail and small drops of blood on her clothes.

there was no DNA match into CODIS, and no DNA match in over 50+ suspects.

this was a home intruder case and she was not raped or sexually assaulted, no semen was recovered.

Jenna had fought for her life. She scratched away at her killer, causing tiny specks of their blood to drop on the collar of her shirt and on the carpet next to her body. Skin cells were found underneath Jenna’s fingernails.

finally they did find a DNA match.
