ONE LAST CHANCE Thursday, November 20, 2008
DNA testing has brought television drama to life in Santa Cruz, CA. 36 years ago Peter Mitchell placed a call to the police station two blocks from his home to say he was being murdered. When police arrived Mitchell described his assailant and told them his name just before dying from a stab wound to the heart. An intense investigation began, and while information led police to believe the murderer was a hitchhiker Mitchell picked up, the case went cold with no arrest. George Turegano, the detective who investigated the crime originally, is now 62 and retired but he's back on the case working as a community service officer. He has reopened the case and submitted cigarette butts and other trace evidence in hopes of learning Mitchell's killer.
