In 2010, there was a big push to test the DNA of additional people mentioned in the case file to rule them in or out once and for all.

The detectives amassed samples of droves of men whose names had come across their desks over the years.

These included men like Randy Kleckler, who had been looked at during the original investigation because he had stabbed a female hitchhiker

in the area for no good reason. Jack H., the teenager who knocked on doors on the day of the murder

asking to have his pants altered. Ronald B., the teen resident of Willow Grove, who moved out

two days later and had the same shoe size as the killer. Thomas Fife, who was looked at

because he had lots of arrests for drugs, theft, and burglary, painters on the painting crew who

were painting that day, maintenance men at the Willow Grove apartments, the property manager,

the guy who had been determined to be the one who defaced the pornographic images of women

in the magazine with a knife. Even a guy who had been determined to be the one who defaced the pornographic images of women in the magazine with a knife.

Even a guy who was treated at Westlake Hospital on January 11, 1980, for a laceration.

James R. told police in 2010 that he cut himself with a broken bottle and was taken to the hospital by his mother.

It must be wild to be contacted by police 30 years after a murder,

just because you were in the ER for a cut on that particular night.

All these men were ruled out.

Other types of testing also were conducted in 2010.

For example, the two drinking glasses and the phone from the Major's apartment were re-analyzed

for prints.

A latent print was found on one of the glasses.

The shoe prints on the tiles were submitted to the FBI for comparison to their database,

but no matches were found.

Once again, investigators came up short.
