Angela Samota was raped and murdered in her apartment on October 13th, 1984, after a night out with her friends.  The case went cold for many years until her good friend from SMU, Sheila Wysocki, kept badgering the police and became a private investigator, to assist in getting this case solved.  In 2008, the DNA was re-tested and it matched Donald Bess Jr.
