And when they entered, they found Tara's body.

She'd been raped, strangled, stabbed, and left for dead.

And her bedroom was on fire.

Yeah, that's exactly right.

Well, first of all, Athens is like the quintessential college town.

There's tons of kids here.

They're working, they're playing, they're planning for their futures.

And just like Tara was doing when she was killed.

Well, there were certainly indications that this didn't feel like a random attack.

There were no signs of forced entry.

Nothing was taken except her laptop, and she was still wearing her diamond earrings.

Investigators looked at various people, a classmate, a lawyer from the law firm where she worked, and Tara's boyfriend, Chris Milton.

But police said his alibi checked out, and no one else rose to the level of arrest.

But evidence was gathered and organized, and that would become important over the years.

That's right.

They used new technology to retest the rape kit that was done at the time of Tara's murder.

And they got some viable DNA.

This time around, when they ran the suspect DNA through CODIS, that's the National Criminal DNA Database, they got a hit.
