Patty Scoville

Please be seated.

January 2008, 17 years after Patty's death, Godfrey is on trial for her murder.

His defense attorney has a lot to overcome, mainly Godfrey's DNA found on Patty's body and clothing.

but defense attorney Carrie DeWolf then dropped a bombshell.

There is other DNA on Patty's body, unidentified hairs found in her mouth, which FBI tests showed didn't belong to Godfrey.

So could investigators and prosecutors be wrong?

Could it be that Godfrey didn't commit the crime and the hair belonged to the real killer?

And there was something else that convinced the prosecutor she had the right man.

That assault in 1996, which Godfrey had served time for.

The attack on Karen Karen was eerily similar to Patty's murder.

Karen, a district sales manager for Burlington Free Press, was lured by Godfrey to his cabin to talk business.

Karen managed to escape.

she went for help and called police.

What makes Howard Godfrey so dangerous?

But the jury never got to hear about Karen's attack because the judge ruled it was prejudicial.

Now they have to decide if Patty had consensual sex with Godfrey and was killed by someone else.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

Yeah, Your Honor.

In a scant two hours, Howard Godfrey is found guilty.

How are you feeling?
