本案讲述了36岁的电脑程序员丽莎·瓦尔德兹在旧金山公寓遇害的经过。警方最初怀疑是熟人作案，但收集了所有男性朋友和家人的DNA样本后仍未破案，案件最终成为悬案。十年后，先进的DNA检测技术，特别是家族DNA检测，帮助警方找到了与案发现场DNA匹配的安东尼·奎因·休斯。休斯有犯罪记录，但他的DNA样本直到2011年因盗窃被捕后才被录入数据库。案发现场提取的指纹也与休斯相符。休斯与丽莎在初中时曾短暂约会，多年后再次联系，最终犯下此案。尽管休斯的辩护律师辩称他因患有自身免疫疾病而无法作案，但检方提供的证据驳斥了这一说法。最终，休斯被判犯有二级谋杀罪，被判处16年至终身监禁。此案体现了DNA技术在侦破冷案中的重要作用，也警示了我们法律法规的完善对于打击犯罪的重要性。

Shownotes Transcript

#217 - When 36-year-old computer programmer Lisa Valdez was found dead inside her upscale San Francisco apartment, the police immediately suspected she was killed by someone she knew. But even after the police collected DNA samples from all of her male friends and family members, they were no closer to making an arrest, and the case eventually turned cold. Can new DNA testing be used to help track down a killer?
