After Barry won his lawsuit, it's unclear to me what, if anything, happened on the Edna

Lockman case for the next eight years, from 2007 to 2015.

The Pennsylvania State Police refused to talk to me about this case or provide me with

any case materials or documents.

However, I did speak with an insider at the PSP, whom I'm not going to name, but who gave me

some of the information I'm conveying to you.

It seems there was a bit of a lull in the case until 2015, when Edna's niece, Donna Ruth,

started a Facebook page called Help Solve Who Killed Edna Lockman.

ABC 27 ran an article about the cold case, in which Ruth told the outlet of her aunt,

quote, she was not only murdered, she was degraded. She was treated less than human. Nobody deserves

to be treated like that, least of all, an 85-year-old lady who never hurt a soul. End quote.

Trooper Scott Denish of the Pennsylvania State Police was working on the

case at the time. He too felt that the case was a tough one. He said, quote, every time you look at the

crime scene photos, it chokes you up a little bit that this lady had to go through this. All we can do now

is move forward and focus on who killed Edna, he said.

The media coverage may have spurred the PSP to re-look at the case, as in June of that same year, 2015, an updated suspect DNA profile was generated from vials of evidence still maintained by the Allegheny Crime Lab, and I can only assume that at this time,

the profile was entered into the National Kodas database. But there were no hits.

Trooper George Kelly used the STR DNA profile to compare against DNA samples he collected

from people in the area, family members, and so on. But he never found a match. This was a surprise

to the investigators. I think studies would show that someone that commits a crime like this

is probably not their first crime and it's most certainly not going to be their last time, Denish

told ABC. The PSP even had an FBI profiler review the case, and according to ABC 27, the profiler thought the crime scene seemed so sloppy it was probably the work of a juvenile.
