Alongside one other Detective, Lori Adams, Erwin began to look into further DNA testing, knowing that so much has changed in the past two decades. They were able to get the Department of Justice to allow them to do what’s known as ‘familial DNA testing,’ which looks into the possibility of the DNA belonging to someone’s family members. And when they did this, they got a hit from a dead convicted felon who had two brothers. And this is when they would find out that the actual rapist and murderer was Angela’s own neighbor, a guy named Jeffrey Falls, who had died in a motorcycle crash in 2006.
