HOLLIDAYSBURG DNA in the mouth of a 26-year-old Hollidaysburg woman found dead in 2004 at Canoe Creek State Park more likely belongs to Paul Aaron Ross than any other male, a forensic pathologist told a Blair County jury on Wednesday.
Jeffrey Zachetti, forensic DNA manager for the state police crime laboratory at Greensburg, said he pinpointed that greater likelihood in 2014 while using updated DNA testing procedures to re-examine materials collected during Tina S. Miller’s autopsy.
Miller and Ross were last seen together at the state park in the early morning hours of June 27, 2004, where a friend dropped them off near Ross’ residence.

HOLLIDAYSBURG Witnesses told a Blair County jury Friday that Paul Aaron Ross wore the type of athletic shoe linked to footprints found in an area of Canoe Creek State Park where Tina S. Miller was found dead in 2004.
Ross, the last person to be seen with the 26-year-old Miller, went on trial this week in Blair County Court, charged with first-degree murder and related sexual assault offenses.
Testimony, which resumes Monday, is expected to extend through next week.
“The pace of the trial is moving along,” President Judge Elizabeth Doyle said Friday in court before dismissing the jury for the weekend.
