Evidence against House
But investigators turned their attention to House when he was caught in several lies after the body was discovered. He told police he had been at his girlfriend's trailer the entire night of the murder; the girlfriend said he had left, then returned shirtless, sweating, covered with scratches and with a fresh bruise on the knuckle of his right ring finger.
Investigators found his blue jeans in a hamper at the trailer, stained with what looked like blood. FBI lab tests confirmed that the blood was Carolyn Muncey's.
A witness, Billy Ray Hensley, said he saw House on July 14 emerging from the creek bed near where Muncey's body was found later that day. Hensley said House appeared to be wiping his hands on a black piece of cloth. Prosecutors later claimed it was the shirt he had left behind at the crime scene.
Evidence against Hubert Muncey
Long after the trial, DNA tests were performed on Muncey's clothes. They proved that body fluids on the clothes belonged not to House, as authorities believed and told the jury, but to the victim's husband, Hubert Muncey Jr.
