The other portion of that is that if you don't have CODIS eligibility before you do the testing, like as soon as chemical touches evidence, you're no longer eligible to ever in the CODIS.
And then we were concerned, like, is there going to be a chain of custody issue, you know, going through TSA and everything else? We had several totes that, you know, we probably weren't going to be able to just carry on. So we were kind of concerned about that.
So at that point, the plan was made that my partner and I were just going to drive the evidence down to Deerfield Beach, Florida, which we loaded all the stuff up on dry ice and started heading south. Ryan and his counterpart set off for the multi-day journey.
Carrying it into our hotel room where we stayed in the panhandle the first night and then carrying it back out to the car and, you know, making sure that we didn't break chain of custody and, you know, just making sure that everything was just to make sure the integrity was there the entire way down. It was a stressful drive.
So they have everything in storage in their area, and we're waiting on them to get us an answer on whether or not they're able to find anything.
We're sitting there and he's like, you know, you may get one of the coolest phone calls in the history of the North Florida Police Department when this stuff comes back. He goes, so good luck, man.
She said, this is absolutely hand of God. We have one of the best profiles we've ever gotten, and it is a direct link to Bruce Lindahl. It was 9.4 trillion times more probable originating from Bruce Lindahl than any other human on Earth.
I got the phone call, and I could say, you know, on one of the most beautiful locations possible, too, standing on a mountain in Montana. So it was great.
My prayer was always like, hey, I want to be able to give this family closure. The mom and dad are both still alive. Their health is failing. Like, I want to be able to give them an answer before something happens to them.
dealt with this for 45 years not knowing. And again, nothing that we did brings Kathy back. Nothing we did will ever serve justice to Bruce Lindahl. But we were able to give family that closure. And that was what was important to me on this case is saying that, OK, this is what happened to Kathy that night. And, you know, so they can have that peace.
We sat down with them and our chaplain and our social workers, and we had our therapy dog in there and just kind of everybody's crying and talking about it. It was just a really emotional kind of giving them those answers. So we kind of all sat down as a team, as a department, and told them together.
And then he drove her to this rural area. So at the time, it was just a gravel road that went down to like a little, just a place you could park and fish. There were some fishing cottages down there, but it was a real rural, remote area. So we think is that he drove her down to that area and then that's where he ultimately killed her and threw her body in the river.
So if Bruce was alive, I would be confident that we would have charged him with the first-degree murder of Kathy Holly, and we would have taken that to trial and been able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Bruce was responsible for Kathy's death, and we would have put him in prison for the murder of Kathy Holly.
45 years, it's a lifetime for a lot of people and hopefully it will give them some kind of peace and closure. And I don't know, it's tough.
We called him when we got those results to let him know, and he still was sobbing. And he's like, I've lived with this for 45 years, thinking that there's something else I could have done to save her and she'd still be here. But I decided to go home that night instead of spending the night with her, and here we are. So there's a ton of survivor guilt with that.
There's still several other circumstantial cases of missing girls that were found strangled in the river in neighboring towns. And, you know, they were abducted in two towns north of us in St. Charles and then found in Glen Ellyn or vice versa. So there's several other cases that may at some point be linked to Bruce Lindahl, but again, without
Definitive answers, I don't want to say that he's responsible for them.
And again, it's a bittersweet success to be able to be the one that types case closed on this case when so many of these seasons happened. investigators have worked on it is just a solemn pride, I guess, that I'm able to do that. It's not, I don't know, it's a, it's just really cool.
