In the second part of our deep dive into the murder of Teresa Branch, we shift our focus from the tragic night of April 19, 1986, to the decades of tireless investigation that followed.

We explore how a case that once seemed impossible to solve—stymied by a lack of initial witnesses—was transformed by the evolution of forensic science. From the early days of limited leads to the groundbreaking use of modern genetic technology, we break down what investigators have learned, what they’ve ruled out, and the "genetic witness" that has given the Arlington Police Department their most promising lead yet. We also cover the ripple effect this had on her family and where the case stands today. If you have information regarding the 1986 murder of Teresa Branch, please contact the Arlington Police Department homicide unit at 817-459-5772 or call Tarrant County Crime Stoppers at 817-469-8477 to remain anonymous.
