“stabbed the clerk 73 times and cut his throat. Either the killer had/has anger management issues or more likely he had some beef with the guy”
I agree. So if Stough didn’t have anger management issues, and didn’t have some beef with the guy, then it’s unlikely he was the killer.
As the police had to resort to genealogical databases to get a DNA match, it’s likely that he hadn’t committed any serious crimes since that murder. Which would make it unlikely he was the killer.

Either he or one of his brothers did the deed...according to the DNA evidence. I can see his lawyer explaining the blood drop away pretty easily. Evidently the police found things in this guys background that led them to charge him.
We’ll never know until the trial is over.
