‘20/20’ REPORTS ON A MYSTERY DNA PROFILE, A YEARS-LONG SEARCH FOR ANSWERS AND THE BREAKTHROUGH THAT SOLVED A YOUNG WOMAN’S MURDER IN ‘HOME ALONE,’ FRIDAY, OCT. 2, ON ABC, STREAMS NEXT DAY ON DISNEY+ AND HULU

Allison Feldman was a young woman living in Scottsdale, Arizona, whose life appeared to be taking off. Her career as a medical salesperson was thriving; she had a steady boyfriend, a loving family and a wide circle of friends. That all changed one evening in February of 2015 when Allison was found brutally beaten and sexually assaulted inside her home. Detectives interviewed the people closest to her, but none matched the most critical evidence: a clear, unknown DNA profile recovered from the crime scene. Allison’s murder remained unsolved for years until advances in forensic familial DNA pointed investigators to a man with no known connection to Allison who held the clues to crack the case wide open. “20/20” contributors David and Kristen Mittelman of Othram Labs, one of the country’s preeminent forensics labs, share insight into how familial DNA works and how this crucial DNA evidence helped catch a killer. ABC News correspondent John Quiñones reports in “Home Alone,” Friday, Oct. 2

“20/20” returns for a brand-new season of true crime, helmed by co-anchors David Muir and Deborah Roberts, beginning Friday, Sept. 25. “20/20” continues to reign as television’s No. 1 newsmagazine, delivering compelling true crime stories, exclusive interviews and in-depth reporting to millions of viewers each week.

For years, there were no arrests, and even though new evidence was uncovered, the case eventually went cold. That is until 2007, when a mother living in a nearby town was attacked in an eerily similar way to Gravel. As detectives zero in on a suspect, this investigation breathes new life into Gravel’s murder case. Roberts goes inside the case and interviews Gravel’s family, the victim who survived the 2007 attack, as well as law enforcement off
