DNA From Indiana Rape Case Matches That From Miami Student Case

A DNA sample taken from a crime scene in Indiana is having a local ripple effect to police in Oxford.

The Miami Valley Crime Lab in Dayton has acknowledged that a DNA sample which came from a crime scene in Fayette County, Indiana matches the DNA taken from the scene in which someone raped a Miami University student in January of this year.

The rape in Indiana took place on March 6th and police officials from Oxford contacted the Fayette County police who steered them to the Indiana State Police Lab where the samples were entered into a national database called CODIS where the samples were eventually matched up.

Police in Indiana and Oxford continue to investigate their respective cases.
