Evidence Linking Man To 45-Year-Old Cold Case Is Misleading, Relatives Say
<p>New DNA evidence has been found in a 1973 cold case. Relatives of the man that evidence led police to say the evidence is misleading and he is innocent.</p>
''The Tulsa County Cold Case Task Force says a DNA test recently connected the murder of Veda Woodson, who was known as Susie, to a man named Stanley Clabough.
Clabough’s daughter, Debbie Pilgrim, says the DNA evidence is misleading and her father is innocent.

Pilgrim says that evidence is misleading because her dad donated that car to a church weeks before the murder happened and she is working to find documentation proving so.''
