Part 2/7:
In May 2001, Leslie Puryear, a 50-year-old woman, was discovered murdered in her home, her life violently taken in an act of savagery. For years, the case remained unresolved, leaving her family in anguish and investigators without answers. The crime scene DNA was preserved, but without matches in existing law enforcement databases, the case went cold.
Leslie's daughter recounted the initial shock when authorities arrived at her home, informing her that her mother had been murdered—a devastating news that left her searching for answers for over two decades. The case's resolution seemed impossible until recent advances in forensic technology emerged.
