On November 9, 2014, two men broke into the home of
three Indiana University women and raped two of
them at gunpoint. The third roommate called the
police while hiding in a closet. The two
intruders shot at the officers, who returned fire, and
then fled the scene. |
| Evidence |
Two guns, the victims’ cell phones, and a pair of sunglasses were collected as evidence. |
| DNA |
The Indiana State Police lab developed DNA data from the collected items. |
| Match |
Due to low levels of DNA, the lab’s manual analysis was unable to draw any conclusions about the crime scene. |

On the same data, the computer connected Vaylen Glazebrook to the crime scene with statistics of 38.7 million and 176. |

In February 2018, TrueAllele was admitted into court
following a Daubert hearing. On that afternoon,
Dr.Mark Perlin testified before a Monroe county jury. |

The jury found Glazebrook guilty of attempted murder, rape, and armed robbery. He was sentenced to 109.5 years in prison. |
