Mindy had fought and scratched her attacker and collected his DNA from underneath her fingernails. When the DNA was submitted to CODIS, the federal law enforcement DNA database, there was a positive match to an unknown individual. This was due to the fact that Moe Gibbs had changed his name from Glen Dale Morgan, Jr. to help conceal his prior crimes, which were rapes of at least five women. Gibbs had also served time in prison from 1994 to 1998 for an unrelated attempted murder case. He was indicted for Mindy's homicide and went to trial. The first trial ended in a hung jury.
