The DNA Was There... So Why Did an Arrest Take 33 Years? | Randy Gail Sperino

Randy Gail Sperino was killed in Madison County, Illinois, in 1993. For decades, investigators had a truck description and DNA from the crime scene, but CODIS never produced a hit. In 2025, evidence from Randy’s case was submitted to Othram for advanced DNA testing and forensic genetic genealogy. Investigators say that work helped lead to 70-year-old Albert Lee “Buddy” Zigler, who was arrested on May 21, 2026, and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Why did it take 33 years to make and arrest when they had DNA?
