@crimetokshorts: Part 3/4 He had two people backing up his alibi. He even volunteered his DNA. But one forensic result would expose the truth. In November 1991, 17-year-old Crystal Faye Todd disappeared after a night out in Conway, South Carolina. Her abandoned car was found near a school, and the following morning, hunters discovered her body in a nearby field. Investigators focused on people in Crystal’s social circle, including her close friend, Johnnie Kenneth “Ken” Register. He provided a DNA sample voluntarily and had two witnesses supporting his account of where he had been that night. But forensic scientists compared DNA from biological evidence recovered during the investigation with samples collected from 52 local men. The result revealed a nine-band DNA match to Register. At the time, experts testified that the probability of finding that pattern in the population was approximately one in 250 million. Register was arrested, convicted of murder and related offenses, and sentenced to life in prison plus additional consecutive terms. His convictions were upheld by the South Carolina Supreme Court in 1996. His alibi sounded convincing. The forensic evidence told another story. Would you have suspected someone who volunteered to help investigators? #truecrime #crimetok #crimejunkie #truecrimestories #truecrimestory
