Eleventh Judicial District Attorney Neal Pinkston is creating a committee to review recently discovered unanalyzed evidence from murders that occurred between 1986 and 2002, The Times Free Press reports. "An initial review of the 1986-1988 autopsy files revealed 35 cases with unanalyzed evidence," according to Pinkston's office. "Of those, 13 are suicides or accidental deaths, two are cold-case murders and the remaining 20 are homicides that have presumably been prosecuted." The unprocessed evidence includes bullets removed from bodies, hair and DNA swabs.
