The investigators came to know about Martin Link’s criminal background from the sex crimes section. He had recently completed a six-year sentence in jail as a sex offender who had raped and murdered a woman. Martin’s house was very close to the place from where the eleven years old was abducted, and he was also familiar with the place where her body was found.

As a result of the list of coincidences, Martin became the main suspect in the police’s eyes. After a long process of investigation, the authorities were sure that Martin Link was the person who raped and murdered innocent Elissa Self.

How Did Authorities Reach Martin Link?

After the recommendation upon Martin Link’s name from the Sex crimes section, the authorities started to look for him. On January 26, 1991, Martin was summoned by a police officer because of driving a damaged headlight vehicle. However, he was in no mood to settle the issue, which resulted in a high-speed chase until his vehicle crashed into a pole.

Investigators found out that Martin had committed sex offences crimes in that area when he was chased and caught by the officer. He had tried to rape a woman at a local Laundromat, abduct a girl whose age was eight years, rob a business, and again made an attempt to rape a woman at knifepoint.

Police took the help of forensic reports, which clearly showed that the vaginal swabs taken from Elissa’s dead body had Martin’s DNA. Martin also had a jar of Vaseline in his car, which was sent to forensic for tests. The forensic report stated that the DNA of the bloodstain inside the jar matched Elissa’s, and the jar had Martin’s fingerprints. However, the report didn’t surprise the investigators much.

For her family, the day was pretty normal until they got a call from the school at around 8:20 am, who informed them that their daughter hadn’t reached school. Elissa’s parents became anxious and started to look for her in their neighborhood, but all in vain.
