20-Year-Old College Student Helps Crack 58-Year-Old Cold Case

- The fourth oldest cold case in the country has been solved nearly 60 years later. Marise Chiverella was 9 when she was kidnapped on her way to school in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, in March 1964. Eric Schubert, a 20-year-old college student helped crack the case using his genealogy expertise. He has been studying genealogy since he was 10 years old. Using new technology, investigators identified Marise’s killer as James Forte, who died in 1980. Inside Edition Digital’s Leigh Scheps has more.
That college student deserves an immediate internship at the FBI
or an instructor's job to teach them how to use new technologies
@@bmujeeb exactly 💯
He invented genealogy? I’m confused as to what he actually do.
@@crystalkerstal fr
@@crystalkerstal No lol. He just does genealogy work I guess.
His parents should be proud of him.
No
Anyone can see he's a weirdo - they have been doing DNA all over the world for years now - nothing special.

I’m turning 20 this year and my passion is “playing guitar” and this guy’s out here solving murder mysteries. Legend.
We all have our "gifts." The gift of music is beautiful. You will entertain people and brings smiles to their faces.
would recommend not comparing your self to others, if you have a gift be thankful for it. guitar is a amazing instrument and its great you learned how to play it! you still have your whole life ahead of you so don't be disappointed!
Don’t ever undermine your passion dude. Music is such a powerful tool. It’s one of the only things in the world that can bring people together regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation and gender. Keep at it!
You know what this kid was doing while he was studying the cold case?
Listening to some tunes.
Metal god > criminologist
Its so sad this little girl had to go through that pain and torture, with her life halted forever as a little girl in 1964. Its horrible that this happened and im glad its solved.
Had she not been murdered, she might still be with us today? It is heartbreaking to think of what might have been for a child whose life was stolen.
@@marcyking461 Exactly my thoughts on all the small children murdered from Residential Schools.
And how many other victims followed her death? We may never know. They didn't have DNA testing or even cross communication in some precincts. Crime brought us to this place. Love and ingenuity fueled the people who want to stop giving child abusers the upper hand.
@@pennyc11 that's not a child abuser that's a child killer, and I'm guessing a serial killer. This is why my little girl, all my children, don't walk home from the bus without me. When I think of this happening to any child my heart goes to my throat and I can't even handle the thought of it. I'd do anything to save even one precious innocent child from that.
At 20 he’s already solving decades old cold cases? Wow this guys gonna be a huge asset in the forensics field. He’s so smart.
?😂😂😂😂🇬🇵
Cold Case 2.0
Not just smart, he is patient and tenacious.
He found what loves at 10 yrs old. That's awesome
@depressed soul she died at nine dummy.. but that's not who I'm talking about
That college kid is going places.
yeah

@@HoloScope what?
@@smelvin8568 it's for the uneducated boomers
College kid? He's a full-grown respectable adult.
Thank you for not editing over the investigator's emotional pause. The little girl deserves that kind of compassion. Kudos to the young man for cracking this one wide open.
Amazing how DNA can be extracted after 50 years and still remain chemically unchanged and precisely accurate
DNA can last for many thousands of years under the proper conditions. Scientists now routinely extract DNA from the teeth of Homo Neanderthals and Homo Denisovans.
The double helix shape of DNA makes it very sturdy. It can last a very long time :). same cannot be said for RNA though lol
DNA has a half life of 500 years from what I’ve read. Hence we could never get Jurassic Park type resurrection, but there is the potential to resurrect animals like the Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger)
More to it than that and not so easy but I get what you mean.
@@elenalizabeth5 centuries..... dang
Kudos also to the original officers on the scene who collected and preserved the evidence until the science caught up.
Amen to that.
Certainly the most important aspect of this story.
Yes definitely
It helped that it was on her jacket, so it couldn’t be something they discard.
Well only if the evidences had been well collected. Imagined comdemnding an innocent that's already dead
I love that they didn't give up on this case that its been so long
Hmm

Cpl. Baron is a real man. He makes no apologies for his feelings and I admire his complete honesty. If that was my daughter or loved one I would count myself blessed to have someone like him working in the case. God Bless every one of these people who refused to quit until the truth was exposed!! Well done.
way to go, eric. that's what I'm talking about.
This kid should be awarded full scholarship for any course he wants... But hopefully he chooses a course related to genealogy or forensics.
I Agree
He'll soon be working with the bureau ✌️♥
He’s already in the field doing what he wants. School doesn’t teach half of what will come from being in the field even if it’s for the same amount of years. School shows you can do your homework -Elon Musk
@POGGERS HUT he already is in college though... I know you need at least a Bachelors (I have one) now days but a lot of companies don’t need one. But yes a college degree is what the high school diplomas was 15 years ago.
Why even bother with the scholarship? Just give him the degree and on the job training!
I fully understand Corporal Baron's difficulty speaking about this crime. How could you not become emotionally involved when something so vile was done to such a young child. There's a place set aside in the depths of Hell for people that do such things.
Yes. A "special" place.
Anyone who does harm to children deserves to burn for eternity
@@theabristlebroom4378 and that place is hell don't know if you believe in God and or heaven and hell but all is good
can't go to hell if you don't believe in it :)
@@justanothermind9449 that's cool believe in what you truly believe just don't attack others for their different beliefs.
That kid is a genius. What child of 10 starts genealogy, only one that needs their mind stimulated. Looks like he used his gift in the greatest way. Best of luck to him.
@Roger Scott I know for sure 😂
he had health issues that forced him to stay home a lot. His mom saw an add for a genealogy website and suggested it to him. the rest is history
The perpetrator may have thought he escaped earthly justice, but he did not escape justice in the afterlife. Much thanks and respect to everyone involved in solving this tragic cold case, and may the family be comforted.
If he was Christian he went to heaven
This college kid clearly had the right teachers and worked hard
Real!
What about ones that can’t do anything about having the wrong teachers?
Probably self taught. Was interested in it since he was 10. Probably more knowledgeable than all those teachers
@@318DoubleE wow. If everyone thought like you then nothing in this world would change. What a warped way of thinking.

Aww
I strongly agree 👍

Katya said “ew, imagine being Indian.”
Since we all know by now she’s gunna edit her comment
This kid was on CBS a couple of years ago. He was working helping people find lost living relatives. I’m glad he is using his talents to help people find Justice and some sense of peace if that is at all possible after such a tragedy…
Extraordinary. What is often forgotten in police investigations is the heart and dedication that burns within them. Fascinating that someone so young could help pull all the countless hours of work together with a final assistance. Well done to everyone involved.
My dad always said it would be my kids generation to heal the things his generation did. This proves he's right. This is so wonderful. No one gave up on this little girl. May she RIP.

Going to take a lot of kids out of the current generation to fix Biden's screw ups.
Imagine the other Cold Cases that could possibly be solved with people like this young gentleman. Hope he finds a career in this field!
I mean, the key thing was technology
@@Lucia-us5sj technology is useless if you don't know how to use it.
@@thedogtobs9469 and it's useless if you don't have it
@@Lucia-us5sj That’s implying as though investigators couldn’t solve anything back then because they didn’t have technology, which is obviously wrong.
did you watch multiple recent news found people missing in car inside lake/water bodies?
that poor little girl. i’m only a few years older than 9. rip we will miss you. and that 20 year old is so smart. he is so kind to help.
This is a fantastic story, well done young man.
I'm proud of Eric. He helped the family to find closure for her family. She can rest now. I'm sad that there's no justice for her but her sister found closure. All thanks to this man.
“He helped the family find closure for her family”? Didn’t really need to mention family twice, it makes your statement very confusing.
Sounds like you’re saying that he helped another family find closure for a different family which isn’t at all what happened.

I love how humble he was when he spoke about his involvement. He wanted to give a family closure and get justice for the young victim. He’s definitely going places.
He must be a Republican. A Democrat would rather stay home where it's safe and eat cheetos.

This young man is not only brillant, but articulate as well!
This dude is gonna go on to solve so many cold cases I guarantee. He's clearly incredibly good at what he does. He solved a case basically on his own that an entire police force couldn't solve in 58 years. That's some damn fine investigative work from that young man.
God bless him.
That young man is an absolute genius. I certainly hope the world takes note of his abilities and he becomes a great profiler

the 20 year old kid did the right thing of solving the 58 year old case i am so happy it was solved
Yup his like 1 minute from adulthood doing this
This young man definitely has a a future ahead of him. He's got a passion and true talent
This young man is a blessing. He is bringing closure to these families.
This kid cracked the code. This kid deserves to be a true hero for solving a decade old crime!
*5 decades
Decade old case lmao you mean 5 almost 6 decade old case
DecadeS**** plural. Way more than a single decade
Yes!!
he meant well folks
I expected more information regarding how this 20 year old approached this case. Too bad.
Same
Right?? Would love to know more about the science used. It was very vague.
This is Inside Edition. Your bar was set way too high. All they want to do is play up the emotional aspect, not actually doing in-depth journalism.
Let's hope the young man or some other writer authors a book on the case.
@@jazzandbluesculturalherita2547 better yet a movie on the story
this kid is amazing. he's already helped track down relatives in about 1000 cases at the animal shelter of stray kittens.
Sad part about these cold cases is that these people still got to live a life. Like this dude was still able to get a job with his violent criminal record. Like, I wonder how come the police didn’t check for every person that had a documented violent past? How was this guy able to live freely for the next 20 years? How was he even able to get a job?
60 years ago there were no computer background checks ..... Especially not necessary for small jobs like bartending in those days .... I guess that's how he was able to stay under the radar smh
TWENTY?!? Wow. Good job parents, for raising an amazing boy who grew up to be an amazing man. 👏
Sometimes a fresh set of eyes is all a case needs. Everyone has tunnel vision after years so this young man offered his newer skills and thoughts and it helped tremendously
True but this case is more along of lines of specialized technical expertise which is even more awesome:)
Indeed! Jimbobway, A fresh set of eyes is sometimes needed, and his is keen.
Which is why if more people help with maddys case it’d be solved.
or more advanced technology, which didn't exist 20 or 30 years ago
I’m sure that sweet girl is applauding this boy wherever she is now. What a beautiful end to such a tragic story. ❤️
That young man is going places. Good on him!!!
Bless that man’s heart. He is so stricken by the gravity of this young girl’s life being robbed by a coward. May she Rest In Peace!
20 years old. Fascinating. Not to mention that he has helped solve questions in the past. This young man didn't need a college degree, his call in life found him. Best wishes in his future career and bless him for caring enough to give it his time and skill.
Why does his age indicate completion of a College Degree? Not all students start college studies at age 18 or 19. some start much earlier. Remember he has ben studying independently for ten years
He is my counselor at boys state New Jersey. Amazing guy!
@@christinemeleg4535 His age had nothing to do with a college degree. I started at 16 myself. I was pointing out his age because of his various accomplishments by age 20. I said he DIDN'T need a college degree as he knew his strengths very early in life. At no point did his age get mentioned as a requirement or prerequisite for any level of his learning path.
The criminal got away with it for his entire life… what a shame
oh he's paying for it in eternity now probably though
Eric you did a outstanding job on solving this cold 🥶 case of this 4 year old little girl 👧🏼. I hope you continue your work in the criminal justice ⚖ system and help solve other cold 🥶 cases here in the U.S.A and around the world 🌎.
Wow that fact that it only took a 20 year old to figure this out just proves they need to have more people like this
Sometimes you need fresh minds to help the world. Same goes politics as we see older people being re-elected.
Imagine how many more cases this guy could solve with genealogy.
Good on this young man for using his expertise in finally bringing a long awaited closure to this family and the community.
This is amazing. Great and dedicated work done by all.
Props to him! We clearly need better people in the investigations if it took 58 years
Well I don’t think 58 years ago we had the technology we have today. Regardless, very impressive that their is talent out there like him.
It seemed like they used technology that could analyze DNA better from older and smaller samples. I’m sure they would’ve solved it sooner if they had this technology 58 years ago.
They said in the video that they used new software to help solve the case. You try to connect a random rapist killer to someone the victim or their family didn’t even know without dna or.other modern solutions, this then becomes understandable as to why the case wasn’t solved earlier.
It was clearly police officers and detectives that did an amazing job at preserving evidence without knowing technological advances would eventually be able to use that evidence to definitively name the actual suspect. I’m confused as to what he actually did to help solve this case. Because it’s really the scientist that invented the technology that deserve the actual real props.
Forensic genealogy is a pretty new field. It was used to solve the identity of Pecos Jane a year or two ago.
*_That’s so awesome!! Although it’s a bittersweet moment, I really hope the family has some closure.. RIP Marise Chiverella._* 🙏🏼
Y’all should normalize not saying Rest In Peace to someone who has been dead for long, because the moment they died they were already resting in peace.
@@Thessrevelation Really? THIS is something you think needs to be normalized? lmao.
I fully understand the officer being so emotional even after all of these years. An innocent child being attacked so brutally is tough to comprehend. Hopefully the young man who helped solve this crime chooses a future in forensic science and working to solve cold cases.
Brought tears to my eyes, gave me hope for the many families like mine still waiting for justice.
I commend this young man for his work, and the detectives for not giving up on this case.
It did mine too. Incredible after all those years. I pray your family get justice and closure too.
I hope the young man continues to follow his passions and can assist closing more cold cases.
Agreed
wow that 20 year old is a hero
Such humility will continue to take you places Eric. Well done.
That detective though... after so many years still emotional. GREAT work.👍🙏🙏❤❤❤
At least the remaining family has some closure. May this sweet girl rest peacefully now .
I think the policeman was spot on. You shouldn’t get involved with these cases. But how could a living person not get involved? He was simply revealed his humanity. Thank you for your service sir.
I've always liked True Crime and would love to help crack cold cases but have no idea how. This young man is doing so many amazing things for good!! He has an amazing future ahead of him for sure. Great job and the officer getting emotional is very touching.
Great job young man.. I'm sure the family greatly appreciated all the hard work and can have some closure after all these years, knowing who did this to their daughter ❤️ rip sweet girl❤️
So how did he solve the case using genealogy? Some actual details would be helpful.
He was able to narrow the pool of suspects down to a family by using genealogical databases that use DNA, and make an educated guess as to who the perpetrator was based on the time and place of the murder. They may have exhumed the suspect to obtain a DNA sample, I'm not sure.
DNA testing of the evidence found on the girl, allowed him to begin searching for things that matched. It takes even longer when you don't know where the source is coming from so he had to cross reference probably everybody in that area with similar types from the beginning and work his way backwards. Starting over at every dead end until a possible match could be found with somebody who is dead. Then testing the DNA on the corpse found that they were indeed a 100% match. Lucky the killer had people who cared about him enough to bury him. Genealogy of the future is going to run into dead ends due to mass cremation.
Honestly, I made all that up. Sounds believable don't you think?!
@Poke J gotcha, I thought they may have said that but there was too much background noise here. I read an article about it a couple of days ago.
@@fatzy9500 Yes, the video said they exhumed his body to do the match.
If I were investigators I’d take people like him
Oh, ever wondered why no one respect talents any one?
Thank you PA authorities for allowing a 20 y/o young man to pursue this case. Thankfully, his gifts were just the right tool to solve this case. I hope he finds a true place for his talents. He will be so valuable to our society! Thank you Eric and good fortune for you in the years ahead. God bless this little girl and her family.
Fantastic! Would love to learn more about how he solved this.
May the little girl finally find her rest in peace and the investigators involved on the case receive their reward whenever God calls them home to Heaven. So sweet to see the display of emotion expressed and felt, it has to be near impossible to not get attached or emotionally impacted by these very real tragic life experiences. A sad and sweet story of human love and concern that endures over time.
The way your God character called that little girl home was horrible ⚛
@@SUGAR_XYLER God gave humans free will, so don't blame what that disgusting man did to that baby on God..
He has done more for Justice than most of us ever will in a lifetime. I hope he continues cracking unsolved crimes and share his methods with other law enforcement agencies.
God bless this young man for helping law enforcement solved and close this case. This goes to show that family will never give up on their loved one! There can never be closure but it can heal a little bit of the pain the family have been suffering all these years!
Eric Schubert, what an accomplishment!! Don’t you dare let the world tear your brilliance apart! You’re an incredible young man! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

We need more people with that sort of passion in the field and not just those who look for a paycheck. 20 years old? Damn. What a smart young man! Hope he has a long and successful career. And I hope those agents can be at ease, I could tell that agent who was speaking was truly bittersweetened by this.
Just awesome that this dude was able to help solve this case.
This kid could start his own investigative consulting company. But he rendered his expertise on his own volition. This is the one and main rudimentary reasons why criminals haven't gotten away.
Because they're more intelligent than these dumbass pigs. Kudos to you young man, only good karma will follow you for the rest of your life. Although justice wasn't served, but you brought closure to a family, and closed the cold case.
Cpl Baron, thank you for showing your human side of compassion and caring. You're an outstanding Trooper.

Let's hope this kid is allowed to teach others what he does, how he does it, and we can have dozens of teams doing this in short order.
Wow! This college student is going to big places in his near future. Impressive work in resolving a 60 year old case.
Smh. That poor baby. I hate that that monster never got caught but I'm glad the case was solved
God bless that clever young man; how skilled and dedicated he is. A great future awaits him. And may that beautiful little girl now RIP eternally.
He didn’t help, he solved it. Can’t even give my man props
It's awesome that the investigators were receptive to any help and didn't allow their egos to get in the way kudos
