After looking more closely, there have been many arrests in different jurisdictions in AZ. I wonder if this guy has been on the radar for awhile and just waiting for the right evidence (familial DNA). I am sending hugs to AF family.
I'm wondering "WHY" he wasn't in the DNA data base. His previous charges should have warranted it, but the minutes from court proceedings are unavailable.
His attorney(s) must have done some sweet deals to get that bypassed.
The scenario in this crime now looks like(IMO):
1. Burglary gone wrong
2. Assault turned murder with a burglary cover-up
Don't believe murder was the intent, I'm sure IM's running the "should have, could have" matra through his head right now sitting in jail. Nothing in his previous charges would have warranted killing a witness to escape a long incarceration.
They did have his DNA from blood draw for the DUI arrest one month prior.....I just read the arrest report on azfamily.com. It is disturbing. I cannot post.
Read the article again and read the arrest report. There is something "off" in the timeline of events regarding the DNA match and when they did the familial DNA testing. Am I missing something?
Oh....and to the post that stated the BF was "exonerated"....not so fast. Police questioned suspect if he was familiar with BF and the suspect denied.
Scottsdale police said in court records released Wednesday that blood from Mitcham's 2015 DUI arrest helped them establish a DNA profile for him that perfectly matched DNA found at the murder scene.
Scottsdale Police Department say Mitcham's blood had been in its custody since a month before Feldman was slain. Police first partially matched the crime-scene DNA to Mitcham's brother, whose genetic makeup is in a database because he has long been in state prison. Mitcham's blood was not in the database. It was obtained in 2015 as part of a DUI investigation by Scottsdale police, who had arrested him on suspicion of extreme DUI.
Online court records show that the DUI case was dismissed by the city attorney in May 2015, although police retained Mitcham's blood sample in evidence.

This link contains the booking report with a "Probable Cause Addendum" at the bottom. Disturbing information about the crime scene. This is public information, however, if it is against TOS please take down

Records: Blood from 2015 DUI arrest led to suspect in Allison Feldman murder
UNACCEPTABLE!
Unfortunately, having lived in Scottsdale for 28 years, this is par for the course of SPD. Not going to apologize for that comment, I've seen these fools in action, it's all about the reputation of Scottsdale, AURGH.
After three years of imagining what happened to that beautiful girl, I was still not ready to read that.
I wonder if her poor parents have known these details all along. I hope they didn't, when there was no end in sight. IMO I'd only be able to handle it if when I knew they had the person in custody.
Does anyone know what the brown curdled substance was, or can you think of what it might be? It was full of IM's DNA.

Perhaps the brown substance was beer from the bottle that he violated her with?
