John D. Miller, 59, of Grabill, is facing preliminary charges of murder, child molesting and confinement in connection to the rape and murder of 8-year-old April Tinsley in April 1988. 

According to a probable cause affidavit, a FWPD detective arranged for DNA testing to be done on the April Tinsley suspect evidence sample in May 2018.

Parabon Nanolabs was contracted for the testing, and they were able to narrow down the DNA to two living brothers using an open public genealogy base. 

On July 6, a covert trash pull was conducted at Miller's home in a trailer lot in Grabill, Indiana. 

As it turned out, the DNA was a match.
