Right: The man whose DNA was linked to her murder.
It was September 7th, 1979, a time of freedom for young people including twelve year old Lesia Michelle Jackson who lived in Conroe, Texas. That Friday the shy, blonde Lesia swam in the lake after school. When she emerged from the water, she had no idea that the day would be her last. That evening Lesia disappeared; her brutalized body would be found five days later and the hunt for her killer would last decades.
