Well I was waiting to hear when Carbo was going to trial, and it didn’t make the big news.  Apparently they had the trial and he was found guilty of murdering Nancy Jane Daugherty in 1986.

1. By Order dated August 5, 2022, the Court denied Defendant’s request to present alternate perpetrator evidence.
2. During trial, Defendant offered Exhibit 206, which the Court received into evidence with the redaction of Section V in its entirety. The Court received Exhibit 226 as a proffer which is the unredacted copy of Exhibit 206.
3. In pertinent part, proffer Exhibit 226 states, “[t]he 4 questioned pubic hairs (panties item 6, jeans item 7, blue sheet item 8, rug item 9 – Daugherty) are “macroscopically and microscopically – alike” Brian W. Evenson (know pubic hair item 74A), therefore, the conclusion is that Evenson qualifies as a source.”
4. Based on this excluded evidence, the Defense renewed its motion to admit alternate perpetrator evidence.

Carbo arrested

Michael Carbo was charged with intentional second degree murder in a 1986 cold case in Minnesota!  He was arrested on 29 July 2020 in Chisholm Minnesota after his dna matched the dna from the murder scene of Nancy Jane Daugherty.  Nancy worked as an aide at Heritage Manor Nursing Home and local ambulance service volunteer medical technician when she was last seen by a friend at 1 am on 16 July 1986. The two discussed their plans to move down to the Twin Cities the following day to begin attending paramedic school.

Nancy was found the around 3 pm by Chisholm pd.  Her friend had come over to help her pack up and move.  When the friend arrived there was no answer.  After several unanswered visits, the unnamed friend called law enforcement to conduct a welfare check.  They discovered her body and a medical examiner later reported that she died between 3 and 5 a.m.

Jim Daugherty, Nancy husband was out of the country when this happened and was cleared as a suspect.

Nancy was nude and revealing evidence of her being beaten, sexually assaulted and strangled.  There were signs of a struggle both outside and inside the home and witnesses later reported hearing a woman scream in the early morning hours.

Mike Carbo doesn’t seem to have a criminal record.  A few financial issues from the past, and a fine for driving without insurance, but not much more than that!

I haven’t found out if he was ever married, but he had a child with Stephanie Powers and Powers filed for child support back in 1996. Powers married Scott Oberstar in 2000. They are now divorced.

Carbo is currently employed at the Range Center in Chisholm.  I’m assuming he is getting a public defender, and I’m not sure how he will get out if this, the DNA does not lie!

The Chisholm PD contacted the BCA about providing a DNA sample to Parabon NanoLabs, a lab that analyzes genealogy databases and helps LE identify case leads. The BCA lab coordinated with the company to provide a DNA sample from Daugherty’s decades-old evidence. Parabon identified Carbo as a suspect in the case.

From the court documents:

→ LE learned that Carbo was living less than a mile from the crime scene in 1986.

→ Carbo attended school with Daugherty’s children.

→ LE began surveilling Carbo’s Chisholm apartment on July 23.

→ Authorities collected DNA evidence from Carbo’s garbage they watched him carry outside. The trash was sent in for DNA testing.

→ LE learned the DNA collected from Carbo’s garbage also matched evidence collected from the crime scene.

→ LE received a DNA sample from Carbo on 29 July 2020 and sent it to the BCA laboratory for testing.
Carbo’s DNA profile was consistent with the DNA profile.

Nothing about a motive!

Carbo next court date is 6 August 2020.

Arrest Made in Chisholm Cold Case Homicide
DNA Match Leads to Arrest of Local Man in Murder of Nancy Daugherty

​ST. PAUL — The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and the Chisholm Police Department have made an arrest in the 1986 murder of Nancy Daugherty of Chisholm.

Michael Allan Carbo Jr., 52, of Chisholm, was taken into custody earlier today and booked into the St. Louis County Jail in Virginia on probable cause 2nd Degree Murder.

BCA agents and Chisholm police investigators arrested Carbo after receiving confirmation from the BCA laboratory earlier today that Carbo’s DNA matched DNA from the crime scene.

Nancy Daugherty was last seen alive just after Midnight on July 16, 1986. That afternoon, Chisholm police officers conducting a welfare check located Nancy Daugherty deceased inside of her home. She had been beaten, sexually assaulted and strangled. Evidence at the scene indicated that a struggle had occurred both outside and inside the home. Witnesses later reported hearing a woman screaming in the early morning hours.

BCA scientists obtained a full DNA suspect profile from bodily fluids found on the victim and at the scene. But the DNA did not match any persons in the criminal DNA database.

Over the years investigators interviewed and collected DNA from more than 100 people. Periodic case reviews also happened over the years, but none led to a solid lead in the case, and periodic comparisons of evidence DNA to the DNA database did not result in a match.

In early 2020, the Chisholm Police Department approached the BCA wanting to provide a sample of the DNA evidence to Parabon. The company analyzes public genealogy databases that have law enforcement programs to generate leads in cases. The BCA laboratory coordinated with the company to provide a DNA sample from the decades-old evidence. Based on their analysis and search, Parabon in July identified Mr. Carbo as a potential suspect in the case.

BCA agents and Chisholm investigators began surveillance of Mr. Carbo last week and surreptitiously obtained DNA evidence that was sent to the BCA laboratory for analysis. On Monday, the BCA laboratory reported a DNA match to the bodily fluids found on the victim and at the scene. This morning, investigators obtained a DNA sample directly from Mr. Carbo with his consent. The BCA laboratory tested the known DNA sample, providing confirmation this afternoon of a DNA match.

“We are gratified to be able to provide some answers to this family and this community after all of these years,” Chisholm Police Chief Vern Manner said. “We are grateful as well to the BCA and so many assisting law enforcement agencies that continued to work this case over more than three decades.”

“This case illustrates why no case is ever cold for us,” BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said. “Every time we hit a dead end, investigators and scientists go back to the drawing board. Solving this case is proof of the value of tenacious work – even when it’s over a span of decades.”

Mr. Carbo will be charged in the days ahead by the St. Louis County Attorney’s Office. This remains an ongoing and active investigation.
