A murder case from the mid-1970s has been solved thanks to genetic genealogy. The likely perpetrator died in 1977:
In 2002, investigators got a break in the case after the Orange County Crime Lab was able to obtain a single-source male DNA profile from swabs taken at the crime scene. However, the profile did not end up matching with any other profile in the national database.
It wasn’t until 2020 that Garden Grove police asked the Orange County District Attorney’s Office to open an investigative genetic genealogy investigation into Stallcup’s death. That investigation led to Terry Dean Hawkins, who died in the Orange County Jail in 1977, being identified as the person responsible for the woman’s rape and murder.
More details are at the Daily Mail.
