Alexis Murphy is the 17-year-old Virginia girl who went missing in 2013 and has never been found. However, her t-shirt, a finger fragment and other physical evidence was found at the trailer home of a man caught on surveillance video leaving a gas station at the same time as Alexis, which was the last time Alexis was seen alive.
Following Mathew's arrest in October, the attorney for Randy Allen Taylor - the man at the gas station who was convicted of Murphy's murder - requested that Matthew be properly examined as a possible suspect in the teen's death. It's just been announced that DNA testing has cleared Matthew of any involvement in Alexis' disappearance and murder.

Jesse Matthew Jr.’s DNA was found on the discarded black “Pantera” shirt that Morgan Harrington wore the night she disappeared outside the Metallica concert at the John Paul Jones theater in Charlottesville on October 17, 2009. According to a search warrant obtained by media in late November 2014, "the probability of randomly selecting an unrelated individual who would be included as a contributor to the DNA mixture profile is greater than one in 7.2 billion, which is approximately the world population.” Matthew has not been charged in Morgan's case.
Police are still investigating Matthew's possible ties to the disappearance of 19-year-old Samantha Ann Clarke of Orange, Virginia, the August 2009 killing of Virginia Tech students Heidi Childs and David Metzler, and the October 2009 killing of 23-year-old Cassandra Morton of Lynchburg, Virginia
