A judge in Maricopa County has thrown out the DNA sample that led to the arrest of a man accused of killing a Scottsdale woman in 2015.The suspect, identified as Ian Mitcham, was reportedly found via Forensic Genetic Genealogy.Allison Feldman was found dead in February 2015. Her boyfriend reportedly found Allison dead inside her home.
Mitcham, according to our previous reports, was arrested at the Phoenix deli he worked at in April 2018.Mitcham's blood, according to the ruling issued by Judger Roy C. Whitehead, was reportedly on file from a DUI arrest made by Scottsdale Police in 2015. "Defendant’s blood, however, was never destroyed. Instead, Scottsdale Police retained custody of the vials until late 2017, when Defendant became a suspect in the 2015 killing and sexual assault of Allison Feldman," read a portion of the ruling. "A subsequent analysis of the blood vials generated a DNA profile that matched the profile found at the scene of the crime.
For their part, prosecutors reportedly argued that a legal doctrine known as "inevitable discovery" would have applied, since prosecutors believe they would ultimately obtain a DNA example from the defendant via surveillance, ruse, or disposition of Mitcham's DUI or drug possession cases.
