Sigh...silly me. Like too many people I got snared by the DNA thing. You’re right, this case went into the cold case files rather quickly.
You know I’ve read the entire article twice and it never mentions any details from the original investigation that led the detectives to close the case. Not even if Stough was considered a suspect back then.
Surely a former employee who was known to hang around the place would have been a red flag. Even to me!
Just wish they had included more information from the original investigation.
Thanks, and well put. And I certainly didn’t mean to demean police work. I’d guess that the crime took quite a bit of time (what was it, 74 stab wounds? Of course, after the first 20 or so, there’d be no resistance), but OTOH, it seems likely that it took place in one of the many “I didn’t see nuthin’” neighborhoods, where it’s often a waste of time and effort to get the story, particularly when there are more crimes all the time that require attention.
