===Death and DNA testing===
On June 4, 1979, Hart collapsed and died of a heart attack at the age of 35, after about an hour of lifting weights and jogging in the prison exercise yard.

In 1989, DNA testing was conducted that showed three of the five probes matched Hart's DNA. Statistically, DNA from 1 in 7,700 Native Americans would obtain these results. In 2008, authorities conducted new DNA testing on stains found on a pillowcase, the results of which proved inconclusive because the samples were "too deteriorated to obtain a DNA profile". In 2017, $30,000 in donations were raised by the sheriff in order to do new DNA tests using the latest advances in testing. In 2022, authorities determined that DNA evidence shows the killer was Hart.
