Edna Laughman Part 1 of 2

Episode 89 Edna Laughman Part 1 of 2

In 1987, someone broke into Edna Laughman's home and suffocated and raped the 85 year old widow. She was found by her relative and best friend, Madeline Laughman. Within 2 weeks, Madeline's son was arrested for Edna's slaying. Barry Laughman "confessed" to the crime, and was tried, convicted, and spent 15 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Barry was finally exonerated by updated DNA testing in 2003. But the investigation into who killed his elderly relative was back to Square 1. The case languished until forensic genealogy pointed the investigators to Edna's killer – someone who had been right under their noses the whole time.
