  • In 2013, the Noble County Sheriff’s Department was contacted by an individual who claimed Lehman admitted he and Bandy were involved in a crime together. The details provided in this testimony were consistent with the findings made by police in Mitchell’s case.
  • On July 3, 2014, an individual reported that Bandy had claimed he committed the crime that took place at Mallard’s Roost, a public access site adjacent to the location Mitchell’s body was found at.
  • On Sept. 25, 2019, Noble County Sheriff’s Department received a report that years ago, at a high school party, Bandy said he and Lehman committed Mitchell’s murder together.
Mitchell’s clothing was resubmitted for DNA testing in 2019. In February 2020, a Certificate of Analysis was generated by the ISP Laboratory Division that showed a male DNA profile was developed from the clothing.

On Dec. 5, 2022, a voluntary DNA sample was collected from Bandy and submitted to the ISP Laboratory Division.

Results were received by authorities on Jan. 13, 2023, in a Certificate of Analysis that revealed Bandy was 13 billion times more likely to be the contributor of the DNA found in Mitchell’s clothing than any other unknown person.

Review of ISP records also disclosed Bandy was driving a 1971 “Olds” at the time, which is consistent with eyewitness statements from area residents on the night of the murder
