For an extremely long time, Ben McCall, Russell Buchanan, and one of Angela’s ex-boyfriends were all considered potential suspects in her murder.

However, neither of them was ever charged concerning the incident because there was no solid proof connecting them to the scene.

Medical professionals cleared Ben and Angela’s ex-boyfriend after determining that her assailant was a “non-secretor” after conducting their examinations.

After that, Russell, a 23-year-old architect who lived roughly a 5-minute walk from Angela’s apartment, underwent a polygraph examination and passed.

As a result, the case was closed until it was reopened in 2006. That year, Linda Crum, a Dallas police detective, analyzed DNA evidence from blood, semen, and fingernail evidence left at Angie’s murder scene to look for a match in previously held criminal records.

The name Donald Bess first surfaced in 2008. He served a 25-year term for aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping at the time of Angela’s brutal murder, but he was out on parole.

In 2008, Donald Bess had previously been sentenced to life in prison for a separate rape, violence, and kidnapping incident. The DNA evidence matched Donald Bess.
