DNA sheds light on two murders

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - A convicted sex offender already serving time for attempted rape is now accused of killing two women in Rochester a decade ago. An indictment unsealed today accuses 31-year-old Christopher Gifford of second-degree murder in the deaths of 26-year-old Patricia Dagget in 1995 and 24-year-old Lachelle Weaver the following year. Authorities say Gifford was linked to Weaver's death through a D-N-A sample he submitted after being sent to prison in 1998. Authorities are holding an afternoon news conference in Rochester to discuss the case.
