This crime in Kansas City, Missouri on July 26, 1989, where Cox was raped, strangled, and beaten after a man snuck into her home through a window. This case turned cold as technology wasn't advanced enough. Years later, once police had the funding and means to analyze and detect DNA, the police used genetic testing (CODIS) to compare the DNA of the unknown suspect to the national databases to other family members. In the end, it was discovered in 2020, that her cousin, Donald Cox Junior had committed the crime in the end. ]]> 2022-11-07 15:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373338774 2330232 https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373350281 Bludgeoned, raped and strangled in an empty Las Vegas sandlot in 1989. Victim was Stephanie Isaacson, and Darren Roy Marchand, who was accused of a similar crime 3 years before Stephanie's death. CODIS was used.]]> 2022-11-07 15:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373350281 https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373386818 On August 23, 1972, a couple driving up a dark dirt track planned on going to the target range, but a fallen tree blocked their path.  When they got out to move the tree they discovered Jody Loomis was shot in the head. The case remained unsolved for years. However, DNA was found at the crime scene on Jody’s body and the heel of her boot. The evidence was linked back to a family member of 78-year-old Terrence Miller using genetic genealogy (CODIS). In 2019, Terrance Miller was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. However, just hours before Miller would be convicted by a jury, he killed himself.

DNA evidence from the crime scene was collected and entered into CODIS in 2011 and its match was found in 2013. The match was Hector Bencomo-Hinojos. He was caught when his DNA matched that found at the crime scene. ]]> 2022-11-07 16:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373399402 https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373399690 Albert DeSalvo, known as the Boston Strangler, confessed to killing 11 women after killing a 19 year old named Mary Sullivan in 1964. He was never convicted due to a lack of evidence and resources to find evidence at the time. Around 50 years later, they used STR on DeSalvo's Y-chromosome in order to link DeSalvo to the crime. They used CODIS to access the STR profiles.]]> 2022-11-07 16:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373399690 https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373411547 https://www.grunge.com/852179/how-the-cold-case-of-anna-palmers-murder-was-solved-over-a-decade-later/
On September 10, 1998, in Utah, Anna, a 10-year-old girl, was found dead on her front porch around dinner time when her mom came home from work. She was stabbed several times and sexually assaulted. This occurred on Anna's way home from playing with her friends when a man was found following Anna. This case was reexamined after 11 years and using DNA, the case was solved. The investigators swabbed samples of Anna's fingernails and they were able to come up with a profile of a man named Matthew John Beck, who was 19 at the time he murdered Anna Palmer. The investigators used CODIS to access the STR profile of Matthew John Beck.

On January 26, 1979
In Las Vegas
Who was the victim?-
Kim Bryant, 16-year-old girl
Who did it?- Johnny Peterson, 19-year-old man
How was the criminal caught?- DNA evidence and genetic genealogy. DNA was left at the crime scene and was used to identify a suspect's family members, who voluntarily submitted their DNA to a genealogy database.

She was later found under a deck in a backyard. No one knew who had done it and she had no ties to anyone. Eventually using DNA police were able to convict Raymond Samuels with first degree murder. Police say DNA was imperative to help solving the case and helped to show he was in the area as he was homeless.

This happened on December 14th, 1995 in Utah. They found her socks and her blood on rocks, and that was the only DNA of hers that they found. On the rocks, they found her DNA and the DNA of a male. They used a tool called an M-vac, which is known as the worlds greatest vacuum. They used it to collect his DNA from the rocks that they found at the crime scene and they ran his DNA through CODIS and got a hit, Joseph Michael Simpson. He was found guilty of the murder of Krystal Beslanowitch.]]> 2022-11-07 16:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373423575 https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373435563 Between 1978-1981 3 women and a teenage girl were murdered in Colorado. Police recently used DNA Evidence to link the crimes to a man named Joe Ervin. Joe Took his own life in jail for the murder of a police officer. After more than 40 years Using DNA and Forensic Genealogy, police have solved the 4 decade Colorado Cold case of 4 women. Authorities confirmed this when they examined remains of Ervins body and found the DNA matched to the crime scene. Neither CODIS or GEDMATCH was used to determine Joe Ervin's DNA.]]> 2022-11-07 16:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373435563 https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373445167 Patricia Lorraine Barnes' body was found in a ditch in 1995. Her homicide continued to be unsolved since. Barnes was seen in Seattle in August 22nd, 1995 and her body was found with a bullet to the head three days later covered in a sleeping bag. The person of interest when regarding this case was Douglas Keith Krohne who had passed in 2016 after being electrocuted. The two did have connections but it is unclear on how they met. In April 2018, investigators took a deeper view at the physical evidence left in the homicide, interviewed detectives, and went over pictures and did some DNA testing. DNA was found at three locations at the scene and was marked as an unidentified man. Investigators talked to police and send Krohne's DNA to the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab. On February 7th, that DNA was reported to match to the unknown DNA taken from the homicide. ]]> 2022-11-07 16:44:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373445167 https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2373455351 Stacey Chahorski was 19 years old when she was killed. Her body was found along the highway in Dade County, not far from the Alabama-Georgia border. But for the last 33 years, investigators didn’t know much more, including the identities of her and her killer. Decades later her family finally got some answers, in the form of new genealogy DNA testing. The technology is used to positively identify a person’s DNA. 34 years later the killer was identified as Hank Wise. Investigators say they matched a living family member’s DNA to his. Wise was a trucker whose route crossed through the Southeast, and whose DNA was also found at the scene; Wise had a criminal history in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina.

It was determined that she was killed by a devastating blow to the head from a rock (murder), and in 2013, there was major progress on the case. They were able to use new forensic technologies and techniques to extract touch DNA from the granite rock used to kill the teenager almost 20 years before. DNA was matched to a man named Joseph Michael Simpson using CODIS, who was a resort bus driver in the area at the time of the crime and was arrested in Florida in September 2013, finally solving the 18-year-old case.

This case was cold for 52 years until they used DNA genealogy to identify her killer. Richard John Davis stabbed Nancy over 30 times and almost decapitated her. Davis lived in the same apartment complex as Nancy and he eventually died of alcoholism before the case went to court, in 2005. They linked the killing to Davis because he left knife wounds and a trail of blood while leaving her apartment as she tried to fight back. In 2004, a DNA profile was developed from a drop of blood from the crime scene using CODIS and for the next 18 years, investigators ran DNA profiles through the state every week but never found the match. In November 2019, they launched the forensics genetic genealogy investigation. July 21st, 2019, was when they found Davis to be the suspect. ]]> 2022-11-10 17:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cbauer16/vvfupgd51ua5tn0p/wish/2379047286
