A BRUTAL MURDER - POLICE HAVE DNA EVIDENCE - COULD A DISCARDED CIGARETTE LEAD TO A KILLER?

"48 Hours" Investigates in "The Twisted Case of Angie Dodge"

Saturday, June 27

Correspondent Anne-Marie Green and 48 HOURS investigate the 1996 death of Angie Dodge and have the latest in the hunt for her killer, which led law enforcement on a circuitous trail through a genealogy database, in an encore of "The Twisted Case of Angie Dodge," to be broadcast Saturday, June 27 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. It's an unusual case about a murdered Idaho teenager and an unknown killer who left a DNA sample behind. The story hinges on new technology, developed since the murder, that has led investigators to multiple suspects including a New Orleans filmmaker. The case raises questions about what happens when police use publicly available DNA databases to solve cases - and what goes on when an innocent man is tagged as a suspect. What about the DNA? The case took a turn in May 2019 when police announced they had arrested a man who was a match, after getting a sample of the suspect's DNA from a cigarette butt. Is the case closed? Green and 48 HOURS have the latest.
