And for 23 years, I've traveled every road there is, turned every stone there is, to find justice for my daughter. - As the officers arrived at the crime scene and found Angie Dodge laying on the ground. And it was obvious that there was a very brutal murder that had happened, a lot of blood. During the investigation, we came across a significant amount of DNA that we believe is from the killer. Would you say that this crime scene provided really good evidence? - Excellent evidence. - For nearly two decades, police could not find a match to the killer's DNA. So in 2014, they went way outside the box and searched a public DNA database, owned by ancestry.com. - It led us to this my cholessary junior. - Who just happened to be a film maker. - Films of homicide, kind of a murder mystery film maker. - Then he cuts off her head. - My name is Michael Usherie. I'm a film maker and was a suspect in the Angie Dodge case. Murder a bill ya. - It was then, I knew it was a girl. And she was young. - Got me the reputation of being a person who is really into murder and things like that. And I shoved your body over in the shower. I just kept stabbing her. - It was pretty creepy. We had Louisiana State police call him. He had agreed to come down to the state offices there in New Orleans. - The majority of the time that I was in the interrogation room, I just didn't know what they were talking about. They finally had to look at me and go, "No, we think that you, Michael Usherie, "we think that you're involved in this murder case." - My whole purpose is to find who killed Angie Dodge. - The ability to kill is obviously somewhere in all of us. Because it happens every day. (dramatic music) (dramatic music) (dramatic music) (dramatic music) (dramatic music)
