0:00.0	Now that they finally had DNA and JR had been eliminated, the Sylvania investigators set to work using it to rule out other suspects as well.
0:08.0	They returned to Michael Lee Lockhart, the serial killer who had lived near Patty's workplace and who had been out of prison and in town on her date of death.
0:17.0	Detective Juncker talked to Robert Hobbs, the original investigator in Beaumont, Texas, where Lockhart had killed police officer Paul Halsey Jr.
0:25.0	Quote, I related to Hobbs our case and the fact that Lockhart lived within a few blocks of where Patty Stitchler worked in East Toledo.
0:32.6	Hobbs indicated that Lockhart indicated to him a murder of a female that he committed in the Toledo area.
0:38.7	But it wasn't sexually related, it was cocaine related. Hobbes felt it was very possible that

1:45.2	Yet someone else, someone yet unknown, had done it. In September 2003, Detective Yonker met with all the
1:51.9	members of Patty's family, her brother Bob and his wife, Carla, Patty's sister Carol, Patty's daughters
1:57.4	and her parents, and updated them as to the status of the investigation.
2:01.7	According to Younger's memo to the file, the family was very appreciative to hear that police were
