rape test kit gathered at dana s autopsy, a 900 million to 1 match. i was relieved, because that particular case had been sitting on my desk for ten years. every time you see a poster or see an article or watch tv or on the news or anything about the case, it just, it bothered me. and now it s over with, i feel a lot better. investigators believe dana satterfield was vick s first victim, but possibly not his last. there was another acquaintance of jonothan vick s, heather renee sellers, who mysteriously disappeared. she s been missing for several years. ms. sellers was actually engaged to him in the weeks prior to her disappearance. sellers car was found at the bottom of a river. her case is still open. in november of 2005, jonothan vick was convicted of dana
said, whoever this print belongs to is definitely the killer. i m thinking, god, definitely s a strong word. how do you know that? and then he said the way the knot was tied, you have to put your hand there to do it. in a surprising development, the print on the water heater matched dana s estranged husband, mike satterfield. the couple, who had two young children, were recently separated. all indications from the crime scene would be that the assailant knew dana. it was angry and personal and vicious and vindictive. did dana s husband have an alibi?
people they checked on that. investigators with strong backgrounds into working these type of crimes were brought in for this type of case. the search of the blue and white bronco turned up plenty of possibilities. it was incredibly distinctive, sawblade rims, white and blue ford bronco. it is not unique, but it is rare. i would think that would be a distinct car, but apparently, there are more of those than i would imagine. police checked them all out, but all were dead ends. every single time me and my brother saw a blue and white bronco drive by, we had to call it in. we had to tell my dad, daddy, we saw a bronco. you need to call. as leads dwindle, the case gradually turned cold and the year went by with no new developments. then police got a break. a prison inmate told authorities that his cellmate, 29-year-old russell trevor quinn, often spoke of dana satterfield. it was something about how
michael pace is the probable cause that allowed us to get jonothan vick s dna. jonothan vick was still living in south carolina after serving two years in the marines. i love my wife and daughter. that s all that matters. he had had well over 15 different jobs, was getting fired or asked to leave because of his inability to get along with his co-workers or his supervisors. vick also had some brushes with the law. he had two arrests. one was a domestic violence, which was dismissed, and there was a malicious injury, which is basically a vandalism, that was dismissed. now a husband and father of an infant daughter, vick denied any involvement in dana satterfield s murder. at the time of the arrest, he basically told us he never knew the woman. jonothan vick s dna matched the biological evidence from the
call, we talked to him and there s no way that my dad did it or had anything to do with it. and there was a perfectly logical reason for mike s prints to be there. he did all of the repair work. i just put that water heater in there. i done all the maintenance up there. i took care of everything. and it was clear that mike satterfield did not fit the description of the man the eyewitness saw jumping through the salon window. he s an enormous man. with all due respect to him, he couldn t get out that window. there would be a hole in the side of the mobile home if mike tried to get out the window and he d tell you the same thing. in a search for suspects, investigators found other fingerprints at the crime scene, one in dana s blood. all were submitted to the statewide fingerprint database. unfortunately, there were no matches. the fingerprint was never identified. and there s no telling how many they ran through, how many
