  Speaker 3: David wants Anna to quit working there. It's not so
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: much the low pay, he objects to. He thinks there
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: are weird people hanging out there.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Is this the care of a concerned boyfriend or the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: insistence of a controlling older man over his younger girlfriend.

• 5:04
  Speaker 3: outside of his job, he has an obsession with phishing.

  Speaker 3: the restaurant, she saw him inside and told the manager.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Boardman is also a neighbor. He lives in the Tudor
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Arms apartment building.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Boardman is an example of why David wants Anna to
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: quit working at McDonald's, and Anna takes David's request seriously.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: That afternoon, Anna and a co worker apply for jobs
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: at a taco restaurant and to grocery stores, all within

  Speaker 2: Anna said she was going grocery shopping and would return
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: by four. Between four thirty and five, Rose calls Anna

• 6:48

• 10:33
  Speaker 2: A police officer takes David into the apartment and discloses
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: that Anna has been viciously murdered. Detectives learn Anna was
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: friendly with clerk Mark Sonado, who works at the Elias

  Speaker 2: grocery store across from her apartment building.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Anna would hang out sometimes while Sonoda was working. He

  Speaker 1: Is one of these men capable of murder, who entered
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Annahoffka's apartment on a sunny summer afternoon and brutally killed
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: this young woman, a woman with her whole life still
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: ahead of her. Annahalafka is last seen walking past the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: coworker's car on July twenty fourth, nineteen seventy nine. She's
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: found by her sister Rose, strangled to death in her apartment.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Anna lived with her boyfriend David Craiker in the Tudor
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Apartment building in Portland, Oregon. She really wanted to marry David.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Everyone said Anna was quiet and shy, but within weeks
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: of her death, investigators have several male suspects, including David,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: all connected in some way to Anna.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Investigators look hard at David as her boyfriend. He is
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the person closest to Anna. He left for work at
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: seven a m. And supposedly didn't return until after police
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: were at the crime scene just after ten pm.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: David finishes work around five forty five pm. He drives
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: to the Poorhouse, a tavern he frequents in the Cedar
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Mills suburb west of downtown Portland.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: He tries calling Anna from the bar, but she doesn't
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: answer the phone. He spends several hours drinking beer and
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: playing pool.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: David says he usually goes out about once a week,
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: but generally doesn't stay out that late. Part of the
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: reason he's so delayed getting home is he has to
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: sober up before driving.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Detectives speak with a tavern owner who says when he
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: arrived at seven pm, David was already drinking at the bar.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: He confirms David stayed for several hours and believes David
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: left some time after ten pm.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: This timeline jives with David's return to his apartment the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: murdercy after ten pm.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: David quickly cooperates. Detectives question him about his relationship with Anna,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: which he describes as normal.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: His fingerprints taken, as well as hair samples from his head, arm,
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: and pubic creature. He also readily provides blood and salives hamples.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: David agrees to take a polygraph test.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: He appears nervous and emotional and confesses he hasn't been
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: sleeping well.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: When asked if he lied about the last time seeing
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Anna being the morning she died, David says no.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: The examiner can includes the scoring on this question shows
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: David is telling the truth.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: The examiner asks did you kill Anna Havlaka? David says no.
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: The numerical scoring on this question comes back inconclusive.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Did David Craker brutally strangle his girlfriend Anna Alafka?
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: In a discussion after the polygraph, David admits he feels
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: responsible for Anna's death because he went out drinking after work.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: He strongly believes if he had gone straight home, she
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: would still be alive.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: The examiner factors in David's emotional involvement with Anna, coupled
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: with David's exhausted state. The low scorer on this question
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: doesn't indicate David was involved in Anna's murder.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Detectives eliminate boyfriend David Craker as Anna's killer, but they
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: still have several more male suspects to investigate.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Detective Sturdivant calls the number on the scrap of paper
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: found in Anna's belongings and asks to speak to Roy.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: A woman from an answering service says the number is
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: connected to their client, Roy Oosterguard.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: Roy, who owns a concrete company, says David's name is familiar.
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: He may have called looking for a job.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: When Sturdivan calls David, David confirms he had called Roy
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: looking for work and had forgotten. In the terrible aftermath
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: of Anna's death, detectives rule out Roy Ostergard.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: There are still several suspects left. Was it someone close
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to Anna Hlafka who killed her so brutally?
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: Anna isn't close to her brother Mike.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: She says he stole money from her, money she works
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: hard to earn, so she refuses to see him.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Anna was so afraid he would track her down. She
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: even put a fake name on her apartment mailbox.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: When detectives talked to Mike, he confirms he didn't see
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Anna often because they didn't get along. Detectives finds zero
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: evidence pointing to Mike, Anna's brother. There is no longer
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: a suspect.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: Anna's murderer's rule death price triangulation. The portable radio electrical
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: cord was used as the ligature.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: The forensics team gets scrapings from under the fingernails of
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: her left hand. Now the scrapings are stored as evidence
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: but unhelpful in nineteen seventy nine in catching her killer.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: When detectives follow up on clerk Mark Snado, they discover
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: he quit working at the Elias grocery store shortly after
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Anna's murder.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: When detectives questions Snoto about July twenty fourth, he says
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: he was at his full time job as a machinist.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: The grocery store was a part time weekend gig, but.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Detectives heard Sonato did more than talk with Anna.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: When pressured, Sinoto admits he shared cocaine with Anna in
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: his car outside the store. He insists it was only once.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: He doesn't know if she did it often or if
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: she used other drugs.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Detectives insist on a polygraph on August twentieth, nineteen seventy nine,
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: Snodo clearly answers no when asked if.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: He killed Anna.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: He gives a less definitive response when asked if he
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: held back anything.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Sonato claims the last time he saw Anna was two
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: days before her death, but he's vague about where he
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: was the evening of July twenty fourth. Sonato says, even
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: though he told detectives about sharing cocaine with Anna, he'd
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: been thinking about her, admitting she was enjoying it. On
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: rare occasion.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: Investigators learn Anna was a young woman lightly experimenting with drugs,
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: but ultimately Snodo doesn't fit as a murderer and they
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: rule him out.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: There is a suspect who not only hangs around the
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: McDonald's where Anna works and hassles her, he lives in
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: her apartment building.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: David Bordman is at McDonald's the morning of July twenty fourth,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventy nine, at the same time Rose and Anna
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: are there drinking coffee. Mere hours before Rose finds Anna
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: dead in their apartment in the same building where Borman lives.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Boordman lives in apartment three oh nine. The building manager,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Irma Dykeman, has seen him sitting at the same table
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: with Anna at McDonald's.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Anna's sister Rose says Borman would hang out at the
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: restaurant and stare at the female servers.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Bordman was angry with Rose since she reported him to
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the McDonald's manager for being in the restaurant when he'd
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: been barred from there, even though it was her job
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: to do so.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Irma Dykeman calls boardman Strange and Boardman is one of
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: the weird guys hanging around the fast food restaurant, the
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: reason David wanted Anna to quit working there. At eleven
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: thirty PM, two weeks prior to Anna's death, someone knocks
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: at David and Anna's apartment door. When Anna answers the door,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Boardman is standing in the hall.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: He asked to see Rose. Anna tells him it's late
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: and he needs to go away.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Borman does go away. When Detective Sturdivant visits the Tudor
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Arms on July thirty first, a week after Anna's murdered,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Bordman has cleared out of his apartment.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Is suspect David Bordman in the wind. Annahalofka has been
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: dead for seven days, leaving plenty of time for her
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: killer to disappear. On July twenty fourth, nineteen seventy nine,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Annahalafka is sexually assaulted and strangled to death in her Portland,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Oregon apartment.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Despite finding numerous fingerprints throughout the apartment and having at
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: least a half a dozen male suspects, detectives are struggling
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: to make headway toward the.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Killer while attempting to track down Boardman. Investigators learn he'd
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: been mentally committed to the University of Oregon Hospital in
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventy four and again in nineteen seventy five.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Boordman eventually leaves a change of address with the Tudor
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Arms Building manager, and on August twenty second, Detective Studervant
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: tracks him down at his new address.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Bordman confirms he's a regular custer at the McDonald's where
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Anna worked, and that he did see her Anne Rose
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: there the morning of her death.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Boardman also admits to the late night visit to Anna's
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: apartment he wanted to ask Rose out for a cup
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: of coffee. Now, when pressed by Detective Strudivant, Boardman insists
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: he didn't pursue Anna because he knew she was involved
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: with someone.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Sturdivan convinces Bordman to take a polygraph test. He arrives
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: early and seems weary.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: During the pretest interview, Boordman mentioned he'd heard Anna was
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: strangled with an electric cord. The examiner neither confirms or denies.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: When asking testing if he tied that article around on
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: his throat, Bordman answers no. When asked if he did
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: whatever caused Anna's death, Borman also responds no.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: Though Boardman's polygraph scores lack complete conclusiveness, Yes, the examiner
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: determines Boardman has answered the questions truthfully.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: He is ruled out as a suspect.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Investigators are running out of suspects, and in nineteen seventy nine,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: with limited clues, investigators make use of every tool they
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: have to find Ana Hualofka's killer, so they also polygraph
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: letter writer Alan Bear.
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: Examiners conduct two polygraph tests on Alan Behar, who sent
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: a letter to police saying Anna Kamontum. Alan believes he's
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: being set up as his huspect.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: During the first exam's pre interview, the examiner notes Alan
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: has troubling ideas about women.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Alan believes all women are sexually attracted to him and
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: are continually trying to convince him to say yes. He
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: explains to the examiner that when he refuses these advances,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: the women retaliate against him with violence.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Alan told detective start Event he has a practiced come
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: on method with women. He asked the girl at the
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: McDonald's counter for a cherry pie code in his mind
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: that he wants the woman to have sex with him.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: This is a guy who also told detectives he'd been
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: served to McDonald's coffee by Anna and two other female staffers,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: and that the coffee was poisoned.
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: During the polygraph, Alan answers no when asked if he
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: killed Anna, but the test results are inconclusive, partly because
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: he admits he consumed a lot of beer in marijuana
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: the night before.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: The examiner is concerned about Alan's ability to reason normally
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: regarding women. Many of Alan's stories suddenly to come from
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: someone not in their rational mind.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: The first test is ruled inconclusive, but Alan agrees to
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: a second test. Is this the arrogance of a practiced
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: liar and killer?
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: Alan arrives more clear headed for the second polygraph test.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: The examiner asks Allan if on the night of July
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: twenty fourth, nineteen seventy nine, he inflicted those injuries on
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: that girl. Alan answers no.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: The examiner believes Alan answers truthfully. Coupled with details of
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: his whereabouts on that night, he has dropped as a suspect.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: There's still a suspect to his close to David, his
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: fishing pal mc larson. Detectives investigate his whereabouts on July
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: twenty fourth, nineteen seventy nine.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Mick works at Willamette Iron and Steel Now. He finished
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: work around four thirty pm, which is verified by the
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: company timekeeper.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Mick claims he didn't really know Anna. He saw her
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: only when he met her to go fishing or occasionally
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: at a party.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: He agrees to take a polygraph test.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Mix shows up for the polygraph test, agrees to cooperate,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: and answers no to questions about causing Anna's death, but.
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: Mick physically contaminates his answers by movements, yawns, and deep breaths.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: Despite the contaminated polygraph test, at this point, Mick can't
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: be tied to Anna's murder.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: On December seventh, nineteen eighty one, detective Tony Newman opens
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: a Manila envelope mailed to the Detective Division outfall thirty
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: one photographs of men in various states of undress.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: There's a name and return address on the envelope, Robert S.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Arnisson.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: The next day, December eighth, Newman receives a second envelope
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: from Arnisson. It contains forty six more photographs.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: In some of the photos, Arnison is exposing himself to
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: the camera. In others, he's posing in front of some graffiti.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Newman thinks the graffiti connects to Anna's case.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Detectives have a new lead. Who is Robert Arneson and
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: what does he know about Anna's homicide? Is he her killer?
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: The graffiti implies Robert Arneson committed Anna's murderer.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: The bridge is a twenty minute walk from the two
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: door apartments at eighteen eleven Northwest Couch Street where Anna
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: was killed.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Arneson knew David Boordman, Anna's neighbor, in apartment three oh nine,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: and hung out there when Boorman moved out quickly after
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Anna's murder, Arniston squatted in the apartment.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: At some point, Arneson and a female friend are stopped
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: on the street by two detectives. They're taken to the
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: police department and questioned about Anna's murder.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Detectives try giving Arneson a polygraph, but he's too drunk.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: It's an ad turn of events.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Detectives don't pursue Arneson as a suspect and let him go.
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: Despite all the polygraph tests, fingerprints, scrapings from under Anna's fingernails,
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: blood hairs, and the ligature murder weapon, detectives have run out.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Of leads the case. Goes cold and the days stretch
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: into weeks, months, and then decades. It takes two resourceful
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: detectives and new forensic technology to bring the case back
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: to life. On July twenty fourth, nineteen seventy nine, Annahalofka
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: is sexually assaulted and strangled to death in her Portland,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Oregon apartment.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Despite having at least half a dozen male suspects, detectives
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: are struggling to make headway toward the killer, and the
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: case eventually goes cold in nineteen eighty one.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: In two thousand and nine, thirty years after the tragic
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: murder of twenty year old Anahlavka, her cold case files
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: re examined by Fresh Eyes.
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: Volunteer, retired detective Dennis Baker submits some of the physical
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: evidence to the Oregon State Police crime Lab for analysis.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: It doesn't happen overnight, but finally there's a huge breakthrough
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: in the case thanks to new forensic technology. In nineteen
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: seventy nine, detectives and forensic scientists carefully preserved every scrap
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: of evidence they found well.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: First of all, we owe a huge debt of gratitude
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: to the original crime scene investigators. In nineteen seventy nine
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: because they couldn't possibly have known what was going to
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: be available with DNA analysis later. DNA wasn't even being
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: used in nineteen seventy nine. In law enforcement cases.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: This includes hair, blood, fingerprints, and those scrapings from under
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Anna's fingernails, tissue belonging to the predator who attacked and
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: killed her. Tissue containing DNA.
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: Crime scene DNA evidence has found in blood, saliva, hair, seam, sweat, mucus, earwax,
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: and other tissues, and is basically the same DNA no
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: matter where on your body this tample comes from.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Relatives will have DNA similar to yours, but the patterns
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: in some regions of your DNA will still distinguish you
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: from them.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: In the United States, the FBI established the Combined DNA
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: Index System acronym CODIS in nineteen ninety eight. Crime Scene
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: DNA samples can be compared to samples in the database
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: to search for a match.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: A massive breakthrough in Anna's case finally occurs in twenty
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: eleven when Oregon State Police forensic scientist Janelle Moore discovers
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: an unknown man's DNA profile in the crime scene evidence.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: It's an unusual sample because it has a full profile.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Detectives will now have the killer's DNA profile, they just
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: don't have a suspect to match it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: Forensic scientists more is confident this DNA profiles the man
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: who brutally murdered Anahlavka on July twenty fourth, nineteen seventy nine.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: In twenty eleven, the killer's DNA profile is entered into
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: the FBI's CODIS database. It generates no match. In twenty twelve,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Detective Meredith Hopper with the Portland Police Bureau's Cold Case
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Homicide Unit take on Annahlakka's case.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: From twenty twelve till twenty sixteen, Hopper tracks down the
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: previous male suspects in order to get DNA samples from
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: them compare them to the killer's DNA found in the
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: scrapings under Anna's fingernails.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Detective Hopper and her partner tracked down Mick Larson, Alan Bear,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: and all the other male suspects, including David Boardman. After
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: eliminating Mick Larson and Alan Bear, Detective Hopper and her
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: partner Wheat questioned David Boardman in twenty thirteen. He remembers Anna,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: saying she was beautiful and she worked at a fast
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: food restaurant.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Hopper asks if he had any friends named Robert, and
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: Boardman describes Robert Arnison as someone he didn't like, calling
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: him a troublemaker and a psychopath.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Arnison had been in Boardman's apartment before and after Anna
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: was killed. Arnison would get drunk and talk about killing women.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: He told Boordman he hung women from underneath bridges.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: This ties into the photographs Robert Arneson mailed to police
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: with him standing beside graffiti under a bridge.
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: Bordman insists he's not Anna's killer and agrees to give
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: a DNA's help when asked.
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: His swabs are submitted to the Oregon State Police crime
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Lab for comparison. He is not a match. Boardman did
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: not kill Anna Havlaka.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Detective Hopper now has more info about Arnison, She just
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: has to locate him. Hopper can't find any police documents
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: of an interview or attempt at polygraph test with Arnison.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Is he Anna's attacker? But unfortunately for Detective Hopper, she
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: learns Robert Arnison is dead, but she locates his son,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Jason Arneson.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: Jason agrees to give a DNA sample. Arnison's DNA is
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: not a match to the killer's DNA found under Anna's fingernails,
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: Detective Happer's investigation comes.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: To a halt.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: It's now twenty sixteen, over thirty five years since Anna
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Halaka was murdered. Cold case Detective Meredith Hopper is still
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: on the hunt for the killer.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Detective Hopper is stumped. She has DNA tested all the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: suspects since the case began in nineteen seventy nine and
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: has zero leads. In twenty sixteen, Anna's case goes ice
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: cold again.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Detective Hopper meets with the Hilaca family in twenty sixteen
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: to update them. She assures them Anna won't be forgotten.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: Hopper sends a DNA profile to Parabon Nano Labs in Virginia,
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: which has over a million genetic profiles in its database.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: In June twenty eighteen, Parabond's initial genetic genieology analysis finds
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: eight potentially promising matches that share DNA at levels consistent
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: with third cousins.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: Parabond takes the eight potential matches and uploads them into
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: public databases such as get match.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: If any of the eight matches make connections, the detectives
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: are back to an investigative legwork in order to narrow
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: down the suspect by age, gender, residents, et cetera.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: What made this case workable is we had multiple matches
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: around that third to fourth cousin level.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: In October twenty eighteen, thirty nine years after Anna's murder,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Pairabond Nanolabs delivers its final report.
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: There's a hit one huspect connect to the eight familion matches.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: The man common to them all is named Jerry Walter McFadden.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: We got fortunate that we had matches connecting to multiple
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: grandparent lines, both on his mom and dad's side, that
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: really only pointed at one immediate family, So we knew
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: that the DNA contributor in this case had to be
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Jerry McFadden.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: None of the investigators have heard this name before. The
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: hell is Jerry McFadden and where is he now?
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Anahalafka was murdered July twenty fourth, nineteen seventy nine, and
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: it's now twenty eighteen, thirty nine years of investigators consistently
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: pursuing every lead.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Cold case has been in the hands of Detective Meredith
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Hopper since twenty twelve, and she's just cracked the case
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: wide open.
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: In October twenty eighteen, the killer's DNA profile from crime
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: scene evidence was plugged into consumer genealogy websites to generated
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: a match a man whose name never once came up
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: during the entire investigation.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Jerry Walter McFadden was born in March twenty first, nineteen
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: four eight, so he's ten years older than Anna Hlavka
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: and born on the other side of the country in
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Haskell County, west of Dallas, Texas. He's a physically imposing guy,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: five foot nine, around two hundred pounds, blue eyes, brown hair,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: and a big beard.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: McFadden has multiple tattoos, including one reading death before dishonor
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: with a lonesome loser.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: McFadden likes that wild man image. He nicknames himself Animal.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: McFadden is convicted on a burglary charge in nineteen sixty
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: six and destruction of property in nineteen sixty eight.
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: In nineteen seventy two, McFadden escalates.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: He pleads guilty to raping a fourteen year old girl
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: from Denton, Texas.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: One year later, he rapes the Texas teacher at knife point.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: In nineteen seventy three. He gets a fifteen year prison
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: sentence for both crimes. But he is out in December
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: nineteen seventy eight after less than six years.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Until October nineteen seventy nine, when he's caught in Jones County,
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Texas for violating his parole.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: McFadden is convicted of aggravated robbery and aggravated sexual abuse
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: for attacking the secretary. He is sentenced to fifteen years
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: in prison.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: But in July nineteen eighty five, McFadden is again paroled
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: early after serving only five years.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: An era of mass incarceration begins in the United States
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: in nineteen seventy three. Texas prisons quickly became overcrowded, so
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: the state developed a directive to make room to save
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: money and avoid building new prisons.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: But McFadden's parole to Hawkins is granted. Part of being
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: a parole means staying out of trouble animals. Good behavior
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: outside of prison last less than a year. When local
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Suzanne Harrison and her best friend Gina Turner jump into
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: a car and head to Lake Hawkins, ten minutes outside
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: of town to meet up with their friend Brian Boone.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Neighbors remember seeing the friends with a fourth person, an older,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: scruffy man in a blue and white vehicle. The trio
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: are never seen alive again.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: A search is launched and Suzanna has found Monday, May
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: fifth at a remote roadside park. She's been raped and
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: she's been strangled. Gina was shot once and Brian multiple times.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Sixteen miles away at a highway intersection. Now at the
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: wheel is Jerry McFadden, who's taken into custody.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: McFadden's been in prison for two months, already serving a
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: life prison term for the botched robbery of the couple.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: Jerry's find Jerry McFadden guilty of murdering Suzanne Harrison.
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: He is sentenced to death.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: On October fourteenth, nineteen ninety nine, Jerry Walter McFadden's life
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: of crime ends. He dies by lethal injection at the
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Huntsville Unit State Prison in Texas. A time of death
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: was six sixteen PM.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: What was extremely surprising about this case is that the
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: perpetrator in this case, the person that we were able
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: to identify through investigative genetic genealogy, was an known serial
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: rapist and killer, and so you would suspect that somebody
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: like that would already have their DNA in the law
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: enforcement database, but he had actually been put to death
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: executed in Texas in nineteen ninety nine, and I had
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: already learned from a previous case that they did not
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: compel DNA from the death row inmates in nineteen ninety
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: nine in Texas.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Since McFadden died in Texas in nineteen ninety nine, how
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: can detective Hopper prove in twenty eighteen that he attacked
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: and brutally murdered Annahalofka in her Oregon apartment in nineteen
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: seventy nine. In nineteen seventy nine, detectives exhaust every lead
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: to find Anahalofka's killer.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: The case stalls for thirty nine years until cold case
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: detectives in twenty eighteen get a huge assist from forensic science.
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: DNA from the crimes the scene is finally matched to
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: the suspected killer, Jerry McFadden.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: But McFadden was killed by Leith Longjecson in Texas in
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine, so he's been dead nearly twenty years.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: An inspired twist on using DNA evidence may be key
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: to solving who murdered Anahalafka.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Cotis. The FBI's Combined DNA Index System database began in
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: nineteen ninety as a pilot project between twelve state and
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: local forensic labs. It was officially introduced in nineteen ninety
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: eight and is now used across the USA. There are
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: on twenty million DNA profiles in its database by twenty
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: twenty one.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: McFadden is already on death row in nineteen ninety five
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: and is executed in nineteen ninety nine. Law enforcement don't
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: get around to swabbing his DNA before he dies, so
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: his DNA isn't in CODIS.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: So in twenty eleven, when forensic scientist Janelle Moore ran
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: the DNA from the scrapings under Anna Lavka's fingernails against
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: the DNA samples and codis, there is no match.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, encouraged by how California law enforcement used
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: consumer genealogy DNA sites to find the Golden State Killer,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Detective Meredith Hopper, hunting for Anna's murderer, tries the same process.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: So we build what we call genetic networks, and we
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: were able to build three different genetic networks in this case,
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: and those three genetic networks ended up connecting to three
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: of Jerry's grandparents' lines. So the first genetic network had
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: about three matches in it.
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: When pair bond Nanolabs finds familiar matches to her suspects
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: DNA and telser. The man's name is Jerry McFadden, she's elated.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Finding ELP McFadden died by lethal injectionon in nineteen ninety nine,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: hits hard. It means if he's the killer, he won't
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: be tried for Anna's death.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: Detective Hopper contacts Jerry McFadden's family, who quickly agree to cooperate.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Detective Hopper and her partner travel to Texas. They get
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: DNA sapples from McFadden's son, Jerry Junior and his daughter Ronda.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Jerry Walter McFadden is positively ided as Anahalaska's killer.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: The detectives learn McFadden went to the Pacific Northwest in
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: nineteen seventy nine with a woman who reported dropping him
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: off in Portland.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: And so this is sort of like a you know,
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: tourism serial killer, right, Instead of doing it at home
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: where he's more likely to get caught, he's going to
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: different locations where they don't even probably know who he is.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: Perhaps he was fleeing Texas after abducting and raping the
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: oiled field secretary on June twenty second, nineteen seventy nine,
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: in Shackleford County.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Somehow, on July twenty fourth, nineteen seventy nine, he stumbles
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: upon Anahalavka, and Portland.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: And his family and friends never get answers to how
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: she encounters macfadden, a serial killer, and how he gains
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: access to her home.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: I think it was just really bad luck, really more
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: than anything. I mean, most of us travel to other
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: states that sometime or other go on to locations.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: I think he just.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: Happened to go to that location, must have somehow seen
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: Anna Marie, and she became as victim just out of
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: very bad luck being in the wrong place at the
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: wrong time. We should be so thankful that we have
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: law enforcement that is so committed to finding answers for
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: the families.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: And for these victims.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Thanks to the unwavering efforts of law enforcement and the
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: advancements of DNA forensics, the senseless and violent murder of
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Annahalafka has been solved and her killer finally caught.
