Josh Miner Had Hickory St. Nightmare Murder Victim's Blood On His Insane Clown Posse Shirt: Expert

Joshua Miner already admitted to police he punched a young man in the face while strangling him to death and even pointed out the bloodstains on his Insane Clown Posse T-shirt. On Friday, a DNA expert testifying at his murder trial made it sound like he was telling the truth.

Forensic scientist Kelly Krajnic said blood samples taken from Miner’s shirt matched the DNA of 22-year-old Terrance Rankins. Rankins and his good friend Eric Glover, also 22, were choked to death in January 2013.

Miner, 26, was charged with both murders. He was arrested the day after the killings along with his sometimes-girlfriend Alisa Massaro, 20, and two of her friends, Adam Landerman, 21, and Bethany McKee, 20.

Miner’s murder trial began Tuesday. He was the second of the alleged murderers to go before Will County Judge Gerald Kinney.

Kinney found McKee guilty last month. She will be sentenced to life in prison. Landerman remains locked up at the Will County jail while he awaits his own murder trial. Massaro managed to slip out of the murder case in May when she copped a plea to reduced charges of robbery and concealing homicides. In exchange, she agreed to testify against her three friends. She already did so at McKee’s trial.

The two young men and two young women killed Rankins and Glover after Massaro and McKee lured them to the Hickory Street nightmare house, according to police reports obtained exclusively by Patch.

Not long after Rankins and Glover arrived, Miner and Landerman throttled the two men to death, the reports said. Miner and his friends hatched the plot to murder Rankins and Glover because they were broke and wanted to buy cigarettes and alcohol, prosecutor Tricia McKenna said during McKee’s murder trial.

Earlier in Miner’s trial, prosecutors played video of his police interrogation. During the video, he confessed to killing Rankins and said Landerman choked Glover until he died. Miner also told of having sex with Massaro atop the dead men’s bodies and said Landerman joined in as well.
