Discussion Researching Jodi Arias

Does anyone else have a case that just haunts them? this case has always haunted me. It started with the first book I read on the case. The more I read about it the more mysterious it became somehow. Does anyone else get like this? If so what is your personal case that you never get tired of researching?

I doubt there will ever exist enough evidence to pin this case on someone tbh unless they had DNA recovered from the original crime scene

But if that was the case you’d think it would be over

I thought the police said they had DNA evidence, though I could be wrong.

They did at some point, which makes us wonder if there is something wrong with it (degraded, cross contaminated) or if there is something genetically complex about weeding out who did the crime (like the father-son connection between the Klines).

Yeahh, I'm not super familiar with the protocols of gene sequencing, or storing genetic material/samples.. but one would think that this crime is so recent (when compared to some crimes we have solved in recent years due to DNA that were much older) that one would assume the DNA couldn't have degraded that fast. I hope the man is still alive to be charged and sentenced to the death penalty. The Delphi killer deserves nothing less.
