2000 — Glen Gore, the state's eye witness for Williamson and Fritz's trials, becomes the main suspect when it's discovered that his semen matches what was found at the crime scene (he was serving time for unrelated felonies during Williamson and Fritz's appeal trial). Gore had gone to school with Carter in Ada for all 12 years, but they weren't in the same group of friends. He also had a history of harassing Carter over the years, a fact that Carter's sisters told police (and which the police proceeded to ignore), and it was in fact him who had been arguing with Carter at the Coachlight the night of her death, not Williamson (who wasn't even there, seeing as he was home with his mother). Gore happened to find out he was a suspect while working in his prison's work release program, and proceeded to steal an officer's car and escape. He was later apprehended, and the case moved forward with a trial.
June 24, 2003 — He was the last person seen with Carter, and despite being interviewed by the police the night after her death, they never bothered to take his fingerprints, saliva, or hair samples. When the new trial for Gore begins and the DNA is finally proven to be a match, the jury finds him guilty. He is convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death.
August 2005 — Gore's death sentence is overturned.
June 21, 2006 — A second trial for Gore is held, and this time he's sentenced to life without parole by Judge Tom Landrith, since the jury couldn't come to a unanimous decision about sentencing him to death (one woman didn't believe in the death penalty).
