. >> i want to know who killed diane. >>> in december of 1969, diane maxwell pulled into the company parking lot in houston, texas. it was sunday, and downtown was virtually empty. diane worked for the southwestern bell company, and her shift started at 1:00 p.m. but she never made it inside the building. a half hour later, a homeless man saw someone walking away from an old shack next to the parking lot. >> he walked back to the shack and walked very close to him and got a good look at him and went on to the shack. and he found this young girl lying on her back with her hands tide behind her back. and he asked her if she had been assaulted. she said yes. >> she asked him to untie her. and he said no. but he agreed he would go call the police. >> tragically, by the time police arrived, 25-year-old diane maxwell was dead. >> she was lying on her back, bra pushed up, a small wound just above her navel, probably an inch in width. >> diane was just 25 years old, a single mother of a 4-year-old son. >> well, i will tell you that it was the most devastating thing i'd ever experienced. my f

dna testing showed the blood came from both diane and alan johnson.his proved the killer wore the robe backwards, but investigators needed to prove that sarah wore the robe on the morning of the murders. to do that, they had to analyze the shirt she had on that day. >> sarah johnson had a blue cotton t-shirt with green paint smeared on to it. so, therefore, i'm thinking, well, let's examine the blue shirt now and see if any of that cotton fiber could have transferred with the green paint on to the bathrobe. >> scientists took samples from the t-shirt and fibers from inside the bathrobe. they used a scanning electron microscope to compare the similarities. they found paint on both the t-shirt and the bathrobe with the same chemical makeup. >> what i believe happened now, there is an evidence transfer from the blue t-shirt deposited on to the pink bathrobe. >> this proved that sarah had worn the robe over the top of her t-shirt. finally, investigators analyzed the gloves found in the garbage. >> when you handle an item and you leave behind the oils and
