Delphi & Kathy Halle Cold Case
Manage episode 446740707 series 2402549
In this episode of Who Killed...?, I look into recent developments in notable cases, including the Amy Mihaljevic investigation, the Delphi trial, and an update on serial killer Bruce Lindahl. I discuss the questionable article from the Advertiser Tribune suggesting a suspect may be in custody for the Mihaljevic case. I am urging caution, because of the lack of corroboration from other news outlets and the generic nature of the suspect sketch.
Kathy Halle disappeared on March 29, 1979, while on her way to pick up her sister from the Northgate Shopping Center. After an extensive search, her body was discovered in the Fox River weeks later. The investigation into her murder was initially conducted as a missing person case but eventually turned into a homicide investigation. Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the case went cold, and no new evidence emerged for many years.
The investigation employed advanced DNA technology, specifically the MVAC (Multi-Vacuum DNA Collection System), designed to extract DNA from older evidence that may be degraded. This technique involves spraying a sterile solution onto evidence and then vacuuming it back up, allowing for a more thorough collection of DNA than traditional swabbing methods.
In June 2023, detectives delivered evidence from Halle's case to DNA Labs International in Florida, where testing revealed that the DNA found on her clothing was 9.4 trillion times more likely to have originated from Bruce Lindahl. This conclusive evidence linked him to her murder, providing the closure that had eluded her family for decades.
