How Did Sylvia Quayle Die?

Sylvia Quayle Murder, Sylvia Quayle, a Cherry Hills Village resident, was only 35 when she was murdered. Sylvia lived alone, but she had a strong bond with her family. She was particularly close to her father. People who knew Sylvia described her as loving, kind-hearted and a person who loved making new friends and helping others. Sylvia was also known for her kindness and compassion. Her younger sister, who saw the victim as her role model, said that Sylvia lost her closest friend in a senseless crime motivated by anger.

Cherry Hills Village police received information about a possible murder at a home in the 3800 block South Ogden Street on August 4, 1981. Sylvia's father met first responders at the scene and told them that he had come to check on his daughter after he discovered her in a pool with her own blood. Medical examiners saw multiple stab wounds and strangulation marks on the victim's neck. An autopsy later revealed that Sylvia was stabbed to death, sexually assaulted and strangled while she was asleep. Even though Sylvia's bedroom window showed signs of forced entry it was not clear that much evidence was found.

Who Killed Sylvia Quayle

Sylvia Quayle Murder, The case saw very little progress over the first days, as there were no witnesses or leads. The police searched the area surrounding the victim's home, searched the crime scene and interviewed Sylvia's friends. Although the search did not reveal the identity of the suspect, Sylvia's acquaintances spoke out about Sylvia's friendly nature, and said they didn't know why anyone would harm her 35-year old. The police couldn't find any forensic evidence because DNA technology was not available back then. Detectives were forced to go back to square one.

In 1983, police found that the victim had a rug with foreign material. Although they sent the run to CBI in 1995 for testing, it was five years before a possible DNA sample could be developed by authorities in 2000. The DNA sample didn't match any of the suspects in the system and Sylvia's ex boyfriend Pete were all cleared. The show also mentioned Otis Toole (convict) and Henry Lucas (convicts for an unrelated crime), who suddenly claimed responsibility for Sylvia’s murder. Although initially suspicious of the confessions, the two soon started to reveal details that only the killer could have. A quick DNA test quickly revealed that Henry and Oris had no connection to the murder and only wanted attention.

The case was never solved and was reopened only in 2010 when the Cherry Hills Police Department used advanced genetic research to match their DNA sample. Genetic Geanology was also used in the investigation. Detectives were able to quickly use two open-source DNA match websites to produce a single result. The result pointed to David Dwayne Anderson of Cherry Hills Village, who was just minutes from Sylvia's home at the time she was murdered. The show revealed that David was a repeat offenders who had been in and off prison for burglary. Authorities needed concrete evidence to arrest him. They took David's DNA from his trash and matched it perfectly to the crime scene sample. He was then arrested and charged for murder.
