## Resource

After 40 years, the hunt for Diane Sindall’s killer is back on — and DNA has just cracked open a fresh lead. Found brutally murdered in an alley in 1986, Diane’s case went cold until Peter Sullivan was wrongfully convicted and later exonerated by new evidence. Now, detectives are re-examining over 200 tips and focusing on semen samples from the crime scene that definitively ruled out Sullivan. Though no match has been found in national databases, 575 suspects have been eliminated, leaving 32 under review. Police believe someone knows who did it — maybe out of fear or loyalty — and are offering a $20,000 reward for information. With relentless determination, they’re re-interviewing witnesses, revisiting old files, and refusing to let time erase justice. For Diane’s family, this is their chance at closure — and they’re not waiting any longer. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
