Ep 12. Cereal Killer

Cereal Killer is the twelfth episode of Forensic Files season 10, which follows the murder investigation of a young woman named Robin Priest in 1984. She was found beaten to death in her apartment, and the only clue left behind was a cereal box.

The police canvassed the neighborhood, but nobody saw or heard anything suspicious. With few leads, the case went cold for ten years until a detective stumbled upon the evidence in storage. The forensic team found a single piece of cereal lodged in Robin's throat, which gave them new hope for solving the case.

The investigators dusted off the old case files and conducted interviews with family and friends to generate new leads. A search warrant was obtained for an old boyfriend of Robin's who had moved to Arizona years earlier.

The forensic team found fibers and hair on Robin's clothing that was matched to the suspect. With the help of DNA analysis, they were able to link him to the crime. The overwhelming evidence led to a conviction, and the killer was sentenced to life in prison.

Cereal Killer is a classic example of how forensic science can help crack old cases. The forensic team was able to generate new leads and use modern technology to link the suspect to the crime. The episode showcases the power of forensic science and how it can bring justice to the victims and their families.
