And then they found out something that changed the course of the investigation. Shara was known professionally as the gene hunter and already skilled at working these cases. She'd identified one of the women buried along Interstate Highway 45 in the Texas Killing Fields case. And she agreed to lend her expertise. I told him that I was willing to help.
Even if it meant taking a hard look at her own relatives.
It was a complicated, multilayered process using publicly available DNA, birth and death records, finding parents, siblings and cousins.
The tree grew up and down and sideways. There were almost 7,500 names.
All the while, Tina hardly slept, working through most nights knowing there was a killer still out there.
Hunkered down at their computers day after day, constantly back and forth on the phone, Tina Llewellyn and genealogist Cheryl LaPointe are quickly becoming great partners.
Best buds. I don't know what else to say. And when they needed DNA, they turned to Tina's husband, Aaron, and Texas Ranger Brandon Bess.
Was there ever a time, though, that somebody actually thought my uncle may actually be a killer? Who knows?
Once the uploads were compared to the killer's DNA, if the amount of shared genetic material was low, they knew it was a dead end.
After almost three months of ups and downs and nearly nonstop work, Shara hit pay dirt. It was about 10.30 at night.
This was a major lead, a family in Catherine's town with two sons who went to Forest Park High, the same school Catherine did, at around the same time.
This is them. We found them. Just didn't know which one. Okay. It's either Michael Foreman or Clayton Foreman. What did you do to figure that out?
In 1981, a 19-year-old woman told police that Clayton Foreman bound her hands and raped her. She had also gone to Forest Park High School, where Clayton was the manager of the football team. Foreman was convicted, but was given probation and paid a fine. But he did not have to give a DNA sample at that time.
And then they found another connection. It went all the way back to Diana Coe, Catherine's friend from middle school. In high school, Diana fell madly in love. Her boyfriend had graduated three years ahead of her, and they got engaged.
And when she started planning her wedding, she immediately turned to her old friends, Catherine and Allison.
And the groom, the man Diana co-married back in 1982, now he was their number one suspect, Clayton Foreman. She, in fact, didn't know him. Yes. In hindsight, there were signs. When Diana found out about Clayton's legal troubles, the wedding was less than three months away.
But she never got any details, and her fiancé explained it away.
Right. Diana's sister Anne and her brother Scooter were not so sure, and neither were their parents, who wanted her to call it off.
The relationship began to fray over Foreman lying about their finances, and it ended after he had an affair. And looking back, Diana can see that he had an unhealthy fascination with police officers and the tools of their trade, like handcuffs.
When Catherine was killed, they were divorced. But Diana remembers calling her ex-husband to talk about it.
