<p class="mol-para-with-font">At sentencing Tuesday, Raymond Charles Rowe apologized in court for killing 25-year-old elementary school teacher Christy Mirack at her apartment in Lancaster.<br />
He was sentenced to life without parole.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, sir, to the family,&#8221; the 50-year-old Rowe, who performed under the name DJ Freez, said as he faced Mirack&#8217;s relatives. &#8220;I can&#8217;t imagine what you&#8217;re going through.&#8221;<br />
The popular Pennsylvania DJ had pled guilty to raping and strangling a schoolteacher in 1992 after being tied to the decades-old crime when his relative submitted her DNA to use a popular ;genealogy database.<br />

Raymond Charles Rowe was apologizing in court Tuesday at the conclusion of a case that had stymied investigators for nearly three decades, until authorities used a genealogical database to identify a half-sister of the then-unknown suspect, leading them to the 50-year-old Rowe, who lived just miles from where the murder occurred.<br />
Undercover detectives obtained DNA from Rowe by collecting his used water bottle and chewing gum at a school where he was DJing last year. It matched DNA found at the murder scene.<br />
Rowe, known as &#8216;DJ Freez&#8217;, was arrested last June.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Mirack was brutally murdered in her home as she prepared to head to work teaching a sixth-grade class.<br />
She had suffered a broken jaw in addition to the strangulation and evidence of a violent sexual assault.<br />
A wooden cutting board, believed to have been used to attack her, was found by her body.<br />
An autopsy revealed wounds to her neck, back, upper chest and face.<br />
<iframe src="//rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?o=1&;p=26&;l=ur1&;category=mac&;banner=0B8GZEK7X9JN15T1BPR2&;f=ifr&;linkID=45959116a9033f86cc6e50c96ca7a649&;t=konniemomen0a-20&;tracking_id=konniemomen0a-20" scrolling="no" border="0" marginwidth="0" style="border:none;" width="468" height="60" frameborder="0"></iframe><br />
The principal of her school, concerned Mirack had not shown up for work four days before Christmas and was not answering calls, made a welfare check.<br />
He discovered the body on her living room floor and called 911.<br />
&#8216;We never let this case go,&#8217; but investigators had run out of suspects, said Lancaster District Attorney Craig Stedman.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;This has not been easy. But one of the reasons we&#8217;ve stuck with it and never forgotten it is it&#8217;s so disturbing,&#8217; Craig Stedman said.<br />
The DNA left at the crime scene by the assailant never triggered a match, and Rowe had not been a suspect during years of investigation, Stedman said.<br />
In December 1992, Rowe lived about 4 miles from the apartment Mirack shared with a roommate, but it is unclear if they knew each other.<br />

The district attorney&#8217;s office hired a private company to use the DNA to search for relatives of the suspect, and that process identified Rowe.<br />
&#8216;This killer was at liberty from this crime, this brutal crime, for longer than Christy Mirack was on this earth alive,&#8217; Stedman said at a news conference.<br />
&#8216;And they steered us in the path of holding him finally accountable.&#8217;</p>

</div>
<div>After the suspect&#8217;s DNA was found to be a close match of one of Rowe&#8217;s relatives who had registered on the website, detectives launched an undercover operation at an elementary school where Rowe was performing on May 31.<br />
This produced a water bottle and gum he had used, and state police subsequently established an alleged genetic match.</div>
