UGA student's murder a mystery 10 years later

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&#39;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&#39;s killer if he ever goes back to jail. <br> <br> Police officers say the anniversary of Stone&#39;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.
