. >> so eight years after the murder fbi agent tony vasley called on inglewood pd and met detective russ a month shy of retiring. they started combing through the old files and were assisted by a new inglewood detective, steve siler. >> technology advances so quickly that in 2002 i said to tony vasley, hey, maybe there's fingernail scrapings, maybe there's something of that nature. >> in fact, there were fingernail scrapings in this case. there was also a drop of blood on marie's saab. but at the time of marie's murder dna analysis was still in its infancy. those samples had never been tested. in 2004 detective siler called john lewin, a prosecutor with the l.a. d.a.'s office major crimes division. lewin specializes in cold cases. >> they had collected originally the fingernail scrapings. they had collected the blood, and detective eniard had been unable to get the lab to test it. so when i first got on the case i started trying to cash in favors at the crime lab to get it done. >> but a ten-year-old cold case was not a priority. three more years passed before those samples were tested.
