ATHENS - Ten years ago, the violent killing of a University of Georgia student in her downtown apartment alarmed students and launched the most thorough criminal investigation in the history of the local police department. <br>
<br>
One decade and hundreds of false leads later, investigators say the only hope they have of catching Jennifer Stone's killer lies in a state DNA database. <br>
<br>
The 22-year-old Stone was found strangled in her bed on April 23rd, 1992. The senior advertising student lived alone, but friends said she had little reason to worry for her safety. <br>
<br>
A new Georgia law requires all convicted felons to submit DNA samples, so investigators could presumably identify Stone's killer if he ever goes back to jail. <br>
<br>
Police officers say the anniversary of Stone's death is especially painful because it is one of three high-profile murders still unsolved. <br>
<br>
Police have yet to make an arrest in the 2001 murder of Tara Baker, a 23-year-old law student found dead in her burning apartment. Baker was the first University of Georgia student murdered since Stone. <br>
<br>
Another unsolved murder was the 1996 discovery of a newborn baby stabbed to death and left in a trash can in a coed dormitory.
