Low Maintenance
Summary
This episode investigates the 2008 murder of Blinn College student Jennifer Holland in Bryan, Texas. Initially, police focused on her boyfriend and a neighbor, but DNA evidence found under Holland's fingernails and on her clothing pointed to maintenance worker Jeremy Rosser. Forensic analysis revealed Rosser had entered her apartment while she was in the shower, a claim he falsely denied. After matching his DNA to the crime scene, Rosser was convicted of strangulation and sentenced to 55 years in prison.
