Wrong Man Sent To Prison For Murder of Girlfriend, Othram DNA Solves Catches Real Killer

Andrea Eilber is 20-years-old and is dating a guy she met at work at the local grocery store, KC Grondin.  Andrea and KC are in a very special place in their relationship, described by friends as very "lovey-dovey" with one another. When Andrea is asked to house-sit for her Aunt and Uncle she invites her boyfriend to come over for a movie night. When KC arrives at the house, Andrea's car is not in the driveway and nobody answers the door. KC goes home and gets a text from Andrea cancelling their plans and telling him they will talk tomorrow. KC goes home crestfallen thinking Andrea is breaking up with him. The next day when nobody can get Andrea by phone or text, her father organizes a search party. Andrea Eilber's car is found abandoned on a nearby road.  When the house is searched, Andrea is found in the basement, tied to a chair, shot in the back of the head.  Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss how police found their suspect, arrested, tried, convicted, and sent him to prison, while the real killer was walking around free. And how the scientists at Othram helped catch the real killer.
