Details emerge in 2008 cold case as suspect appears in court

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Justin Hansen, a man accused of beating a former New Mexico high school student in 2008, appeared in court for the first time. While Hansen was in court Friday, the judge also unsealed documents revealing Hansen was inconsistent in his statements to detectives in January when he was first questioned in the beating of Brittani Marcell. According to the unsealed criminal complaint, Hansen would give variations in his story, specifically in how well he knew Marcell. When Hansen reportedly refused to give detectives a DNA sample, detectives went undercover, following Hansen to a local McDonald's and retrieving a sample after pulling a cup Hansen drank from out of the trash. Investigators say that DNA matched blood found on glass on the porch of the crime scene.
