"48 Hours" is an investigative program that covers crime & murder in the United States. This episode was reported and narrated by Anne-Marie Green.

“The DNA of a Killer.” 18-year-old Angie Dodge was stabbed to death multiple times back in 1996. There was male DNA left at the crime scene. Police did not find a match to that DNA for 20 years. They arrested Chris Tapp and questioned him for 28 hours. He confessed to holding Angie down while his friend Mike stabbed her. There was no DNA of Chris found at the crime scene. Police made a controversial move and went to “ancestry.com” and tested family (familial) DNA. They got a “hit” with Michael Usry, but police targeted his son Michael Ursy Jr. He just happened to be a filmmaker who specializes in “murder.” Police found that Michael's DNA was not found at the crime scene. Chris Tapp had been sentenced to 30-years-to-life in prison. So, whose DNA matches the killer of Angie Dodge?
