The town of Lyle, Illinois, is just 10 miles east of North Aurora. Also, they had a cold case from the 70s that they hoped DNA testing could solve. And it had some striking similarities to Kathy's.

The following morning, someone on their way to work found the body of a female off of the side of the road lying near a guardrail. Initially, the scene appeared to be a hit and run, but that conclusion quickly changed.

An autopsy revealed the remains were indeed Pam Maurer, and this was no hit and run. Pam had been strangled to death using that rubber hose, and there were additional disturbing details.

But back then, the theory was that Pam had left her friend's house on foot heading to get a soft drink. And while walking, investigators say she came face to face with a killer. Hours later, they would find her body.

And while initially they recovered some biological evidence from her clothing, it was unclear if she had consensual sex or if it was part of the assault after she left her friend's house. Her boyfriend and others were all ruled out as possible suspects by police.

Using the new advancements in DNA technology, they were able to extract a profile from the stain. And from that profile, a snapshot image was created of what Pam's attacker may have looked like, including his facial characteristics and eye color. The process of generating an image from DNA evidence is called DNA phenotyping, and it would come into play in a big way in this case.

The name of that family was Lindahl. Using the time and location of Pam's murder, police narrowed down the Lindahl's family's possibilities to two brothers who lived in the area in the 1970s. One of those brothers was Bruce Lindahl. He had lived and worked in the Fox Valley area for most of his life.

Charles Huber was stabbed over 20 times.

Yeah, we see many cases, Anastasia, as you know, where the offender is cut because clearly stabbing someone involves a lot of blood and the knife gets slippery and it comes out of their hand or they end up injuring themselves in this frenzy of stabbing.
