In 1992, John Kevin Woodward lived in California. He allegedly fell in love with Laurie Anne Houts through his roommate, who was also her boyfriend.
Laurie Anne Houts is a computer engineer at Adobe Systems in Mountain View, California. She was seven years younger than him.
On September 5, 1992, in Mountain View, he is suspected of killing her by strangling her in her car.
The cops paid attention when her lover inquired if he had murdered her.
He stated that he lacked an alibi and asked the cops what they knew. His fingerprints were found outside the automobile, but investigators were unable to confirm that he was inside.
He was wrongly accused of killing Houts in 1995, and the jury exonerated him on an 8-4 vote.
The majority of the evidence, with the exception of a few iffy fingerprint samples, was deemed speculative by the jury and defence attorney, who deemed it insufficient.
In 1996, he was once more charged with murdering Houts, but this time the prosecution was unsuccessful, and the jury was evenly divided (7-5) in favour of acquittal.
After being cleared, he moved from California to the Netherlands.

John Kevin Woodward, president and CEO of Readytech, was detained on Saturday at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York after coming from Amsterdam, according to a Santa Clara University press release.
He was charged with the murder of Laurie Houts, a computer engineer who was 25 when she was discovered strangled in her car in Mountain View.
Woodward, now 58, is being detained in a New York jail without bail while he waits to be extradited to Santa Clara County, California.
According to the prosecutor’s office, he was charged with murdering Laurie Houts, his roommate’s girlfriend. DNA on a rope, it seems, helped officials find Woodward.
