Episode notes
Blood Trail Yielded a DNA Breakthrough
- A trail of blood from Kenneth Floyd's apartment led investigators to the killer's DNA profile.
- That DNA trace pointed to ancestry concentrated on a tiny Caribbean island and the U.S. East Coast, narrowing genealogical leads.
Manager Found Kenny Bleeding Inside Apartment
- Apartment manager John used a master key and found Kenny on the living room floor in a pool of blood among packed boxes.
- Kenny lay curled with a visible neck gash, bloodied hands, and cuts to his robe suggesting a violent attack.
Attacker Likely Injured During Escape
