Evil Next Door: The Untold Stories of a Killer Undone by DNA

by Amanda Lamb

Overview

A brutal murder.
An abundance of DNA evidence.
A three-and-a-half year search for a killer who was always so close-yet untouchable.

After the rape and murder of Raleigh, North Carolina, resident Stephanie Bennett, police had ample DNA evidence. They also had a suspect: the man next door. But for more than three years, he eluded them by refusing to hand over a DNA sample, wiping down anything he touched and even planting decoy samples.

This is the gripping story of how a team of detectives finally tripped him up-and brought closure to an innocent young woman's family.
