DNA of an Unknown Male

In 2005, the DNA from the crime scene was tested and returned to an "unknown male suspect" and not to Juan Rivera. Juan's defense team requested that the FBI compare the unknown male suspect's DNA to DNA contained in the FBI's nationwide databank. The FBI refused to do so and Juan's defense team was forced to sue the Director of the FBI. Later it would come out that the DNA left at Holly's crime scene was found at another crime scene, a 2000 crime that took place in North Chicago, Illinois. The same murderer killed two people in Lake County, IL, seven and a half years apart and less then 5 miles apart. The Waukegan Police Department is in charge of Holly's open and ongoing murder investigation which is now 32 years old. However, there is no assigned officer nor is there a dedicated Cold Case Unit working on Holly's murder. Rather it is a, when they have the time, they work on the case. Likely this means, Holly's case will remain an open and ongoing investigation for another 32 years unless the public puts pressure on the police to demand action in finding Holly's killer.
