The Caravan to Catch a Killer

At the time of Brittany's murder, just 15 states in the USA took DNA samples from offenders upon their arrest. This allowed many sex offenders to slip through the cracks as some victims retracted their statements or failed to testify before a conviction could be made. In Oklahoma alone, thousands of DNA samples taken from rape victims were still untested, with some dating back as far as a decade. Maggie believed that if DNA samples were required to be taken from offenders at the time of arrest, Brittany's killer would have been identified right away. She began working in close contact with legislators and police to campaign for the laws to be changed in Oklahoma.
