	DNA Test Doesn't Tie Serial Killer to Nun's Murder Dayton Daily News August 31, 2009 http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/ohio-news/dna-test-doesnt-tie-serial-killer-to-nuns-murder-273759.html TOLEDO, Ohio — An independent DNA test has failed to connect a serial killer to the 1980 death of an Ohio nun, whom a jury said was murdered by a Roman Catholic priest. Attorneys for Rev. Gerald Robinson are trying to overturn his 2006 conviction and 15-years-to-life prison sentence. The Ohio Innocence Project ordered testing of male DNA found on the victim's fingernails to see if there was a match to Coral Eugene Watts, a confessed serial killer who died two years ago. Police said he may have been responsible for dozens of deaths in several states. The test results recently came back negative. Previous analysis found the DNA was not Robinson's. Sister Margaret Ann Pahl was strangled and stabbed in a Toledo hospital chapel where she and Robinson both worked.
