- "What jumps out to me is there is an allegation there is DNA. How did it get there, when did it get there, under what circumstances did it get there, and if its a match," he says.''Jeanette Wilton was found dead in the Flint River on Feb. 22, 2003, according to a release from the Michigan Department of Attorney General. An autopsy showed that the 57-year-old woman died of strangulation and multiple stab wounds to the neck, authorities say. She also sustained blunt force trauma to her head and face, the release says, and injuries that occurred after her death.
The case went cold, but in 2021, the Michigan State Police Third District Cold Case Team reopened the investigation, hoping to benefit from advancements in DNA testing.''
