Show notes

Law enforcement officials in Baltimore have finally arrested a suspect in a decades-old murder case thanks to modern forensic science. The victim, Teresa Ann Houck, was discovered fatally shot in a local park back in October 1986 after leaving her job as a dancer. Investigators previously gathered biological evidence during the initial autopsy, which eventually generated a male DNA profile entered into a statewide database. Decades later, a routine database search flagged a definitive match linking David Alexander Williams to the historical crime scene. Consequently, the suspect was formally charged with first-degree murder following a direct comparison of his new oral swab to the original evidence.
