Albeit a newbie to the sport she had talent. She won the first race she entered and the local papers covered her accomplishment.Police at the time believed that Alison\u2019s killer was probably aware of her running and that\u2019s when he began to stalk her.With little evidence at the time, police offered a reward of $50,000 to help track the killer.DNA technology didn\u2019t exist in 1986 but they were able to collect fluids from Alison\u2019s body.A 1986 article they reference the technology being used at the time. It\u2019s interesting because we\u2019re so used to DNA today but this is what they said \u201c, and investigators even used a laser beam to scan the girl\u2019s body for fingerprints, hairs or other traces that might identify the abductor.\u201dOne suspect that was interviewed in 1986 was Carl Francis Roy.He was a runner and lived near AlisonThey didn\u2019t have anything at the time to connect him to the body.That changed in 1993 when scientists began using advanced DNA technology.In 1996, the fluids they found on Alison were tested. The test was able to prove once and for all that Francis Carl Roy was indeed the killer.After stalking Roy\u2019s movements for days the police found what they were looking for, a discarded cigarette butt with Roy\u2019s DNA.Dr. Wayne Murray describes what can be found \u201cSOT- Dr. Wayne MurrayAlmost ten years after Alison\u2019s murder Roy was arrested.The strongest piece of evidence against Roy was DNA found in the girl's body that matched Roy's.This is where things start to get a little bit too graphic and I will do my best to minimize his ridiculous defense.Roy's lawyer tried to raise the possibility that police charged the wrong man.This is where the defense jumps the shark. Roy's explanation for the DNA was that he discovered Alison's naked body in a park, and then molested her.Roy's lawyer told the jury \u201cwhat Roy did was \u201cadmittedly vile and disgusting\u201d, he wasn't a murderer.SOT \u2013 Defense lawyerThe jury deliberated for six days before returning its verdict.It took five days for the jury to reach a verdict.The jury wasn\u2019t told that Roy had twice been convicted of rape or that both victims were teenagers.Another item the jury was was unaware of is that one of his previous victims was tricked, abducted and bound, much like Alison.\xa0Francis Roy was found guilty of the first-degree murder of 11-year-old Alison Parrott.Roy, 41, faces an automatic life sentence with no parole eligibility for 25 years.Alison's mother, Lesley Party met with...\nLearn more about your ad choices.
