''Over the course of several years, investigators have relied on old evidence and new evidence to steer them in the right direction.

“There are pieces of evidence that we are very, very interested in,” Lewis said. “Technology has changed. There are different ways to test and to look at that evidence now and I’ve worked cases in the past that just a small little piece of evidence turned out to be a turning point or something we could work with.”

Lewis said overtime there have been people developed as suspects in the case and that at this point, “we do have a very, very short list, and we are going forward from that.”


Also, with new DNA technology, technology that did not exist in 1991, they are hoping it will result in someone getting caught.


“You can be prosecuted successfully on a very, very small drop of blood,” Lewis said.

Lewis said he has been working this case for years, and that although there is no guarantee, he is confident that in the next couple of years the family will have a resolution.''
