DNA technology was just starting to emerge at the time.

Detective Pratt says he knew collecting all these samples could lead to a DNA match and to Angie's murderer.

According to police, officers in Idaho Falls were mostly used to dealing with thefts or drug crimes, especially meth.

The year before Angie's death, there had only been two murders in the town.

And while the police investigation began, Angie's family, friends, and community began asking their own questions.

Why would anyone want to hurt Angie?

And who could have committed this brutal murder?

The night before Angie died, she visited her mom, Carol.

In photos, you can see how similar they look.

Blonde hair, heart-shaped faces, and gray-blue eyes.

Angie was Carol's only daughter and the baby of the family.

She had three older brothers.

Carol says Angie was tough and didn't take no for an answer.

She was known for being outspoken.

If someone was being pushed around, Angie would have something to say about it.

Angie was also serious, determined, and seemed eager to grow up.

She'd graduated from high school with honors the year before and was working full-time.

Angie was interested in entrepreneurship and had taken some classes at Idaho State.

Actually, one of the pieces of evidence detectives collected from her apartment was a textbook about entrepreneurship sitting on her nightstand.

With her money, Angie had secured her apartment.
