They finally very recently arrested a suspect in my cousins 1985 murder. She was also in Wisconsin. DNA was what finally led them to a suspect after nearly 40 years.
The true waste of life was the woman he murdered. She spoke 3 languages at 25 and was on her way to an art show. Imagine all the positive things she could have brought into the world before she was ended by this worthless scumbag. So sad and unfair.
I am so loving this !! We've really come so far scientifically. Who w9uld have thought in the 70s we'd be able to find your family lineage from a single hair !! Many blessings, and prayers to all who helped close Mary's case .
Still feel guilt for hitting a squirrel in the road in 1994 (plus I tried to avoid it) how these people live with themselves. Some kind of broken development, idk.
I killed a baby chick mallard in 1979. I was 12 years old and skimming rocks thinking i'd never hit it as a mother and her chicks were swimming across the bay approx 50 yards away. I was wrong and it still haunts me to this day😪

The articles online say he’s 84. Justice served late is better than never. Poor Mary. She would’ve been 74 now, perhaps with a family and grandchildren. 😔
Also imagine knowing what you did and knowing the innocent family of the innocent victim suffers for all those years not knowing who or why this was done to their loved one and meanwhile you’re just going about your daily life and living like it never happened. He’s a monster.
@@andreweston233 Yes because fleeing the country seemingly unprompted after a murder in your area will definitely not get you looked into. Most countries you might want to live in have extradition treaties with the US. Especially in the 80s you only had third world countries to go to.
This is the most amazing advance in DNA that we have. Anyone who is a victim deserves justice even if it takes 50 years. I love hearing cold cases solved through genealogy DNA because it shows people still care ❤
Those here being disrespectful clearly have no idea what it takes when it comes to DNA and technology. Instead of being rude and disrespectful to the family, put your ambition where your mouth is and show us you can do a better job. Go apply at any agency, most of them are hiring. Unless of course, you are rude and disrespectful because you are a criminal. I am THANKFUL for this family who is here in this thread!!! 🙏❤
I'm going through the comments, and I haven't seen any rudeness or disrespect...yet. Why don't you just blow on by any comments that you deem below your standards? That's what most people do.
@cindyjo9093 YES, there were four days ago. I see something, I SAY something as a criminal justice major and an advocate for victims. So, please try NOT coming at those who are speaking up and doing right by the victims. I know what I saw 4 days ago, were you here then? I am NOT most people! You clearly didn't just "blow by" my comment as you are trying to tell me to do. Just stop your crap!
Yes. I took a screenshot & edited to zoom in on Mary’s photo. There is such a poignant expression on her lovely face. She died so brutally and so senselessly at evil hands. Pure evil!
Very happy they've solved this case and her family can finally get some form of closure. It's sad, though, that this monster had his freedom for all those years. But, again, happy he's finally been caught!!
Now if they could solve Jodi Huisentruit and the young woman who disappeared from the gas station between Lake Elmo and Stillwater Minnesota over 30 years ago.
These people are doing astounding work. Matching a DNA profile to one that is already in the system was a huge gamechanger and is still very effective and important but it sounds like easy mode compared to this new method. I have nothing but the biggest respect for the scientists and investigators
It is so great that they are able to solve some of these cold cases just in time before these suspects pass away. Sure they walked free for most of their life but in the end they had to answer for their crimes. I can only imagine how many criminals are shaking in their boots knowing that it’s just a matter of time before this technology has the police come knocking on their door.
Dang. Dunn County - the dumping grounds for murders. I remember seeing the car they pulled out of Tainter Lake, when I was a kid. Body in the trunk. Still not solved.
It’s just a WONDERFUL thing that 85-90% of the cold cases these murders left behind their DNA and the CSI team was competent enough to persevere the evidence for, later testing and its proving vital decades later
no. pressers now are all about credit taking for the people involved first and foremost. if there's time left in the presser they might mention who's be remanded into custody - a minor detail, apparently.
Ridiculously underrated is the foresight by many law enforcement agencies to realize they needed to hold onto items that might have DNA - BEFORE we really understood exactly where DNA science would get us. How many cold cases have been solved because decades ago it was decided to make sure samples were protected.
Maybe I just can't think like that, but if it were me, I would have been a nervous wreck my whole life. I would have panic attacks and nightmares every day. Did they say why he did this ? Was it a crime of passion ? Was this a single event or did he go on to kill more people ?
Glad they cracked the case now let's see something on Rose Bly and Summer wells . Two people from the same family went missing . Well, nobody goes missing someone knows something . Her husband wasn't even looked at and nor was her own sister then it goes cold and the husband files for custody after finding her car . How weird is that, are the police not doing their jobs, or do we need to demand more training
She was murders, 1 day before my 5th birthday. That September (1974) Kindergarten began. It just goes to show, you can run, but you can't hide. Fifty-Years, nearly my lifetime, seeking out this man and justice for baby girl. Think of all she'd have accomplished in life? What she'd have shared, to make the world a vetter place. Let justice be done. God, is the final arbiter of just. ❤
David Guerney's comments about the positive reasons for taking a DNA test resonated with me. I hadn't thought about it in terms of potentially helping to solve a case. I think I'll do that.
Huh? Jon Miller is from the Twin Cities area of Minnesota and was arrested in Minneapolis (home of George Floyd & 2020 riots). It was Jon’s biological family members, who did not know him (due to his adoption), that were located in other areas like Wyoming and Michigan. Way to *ignorantly accuse an entire state* of being criminally minded or evil, when that problem exists in all states and countries around the world. 😒
...or maybe the fiction of "America - The land of freedom and opportunities" has just erupted and became a nightmare of junkies and "if you dont hear gunshots outside your home for a one hour you should get worried" etc? For example people in the northern part of the world (-22F Finland) are looking at things going on outside the world. Like they sell military grade firearms to anyone and thats why all the schoolshootings + now with the drugs, homeless, firearms etc. are combined =?

It's a good thing Mr. Smith didn't play the "I don't remember" because of his age. Unlike the serial rapist and killer captured in Sacramento CA, who played sick or too fragile. Evil non-human beings. How they got to even live a full life is beyond me.
Can you imagine the interrogation? Where were you on this night in 1974? S@&t I can’t remember where I was last Wednesday and I’m much younger than 84. He must been like “ok u got me” 🙌.
In 1995 my grandmother's killer was finally convicted after 35 years! DNA was not used to solve this crime, but it's nice to know they are using new technology to bring these murders to justice and give families some kind of closure!
wow such a long time to wait for justice. i was two days old when she was murdered. so so sad. so many women are murdered thrown away like trash. after DV, sex is next on the list of why women are murdered. shows us. we can walk down the street and we just aren’t safe. this scares me for all girls out there. 😞
Could they find Rose Bly ? Summer Moon Utah Wells Aunt . Rose lived in Wisconsin as well. Summer as well has been missing from Eastern Tn. For the past 3 years. In my opinion TBI is horrific with there way they handle their cases.. Congratulations to all these men & women that helped with Mary Case… 💟✝️💟
I fear every single time when I hear of evil 😈 in Wisconsin. I have lost 2 family members in Florida and California 2 others these have been innocent people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now that more of mmy family has left for what I thought a saver state has changed and has changed me to fear that they have to come back to home to be safe from crime 😢😢😢😢

If he killed her while she was hitchhiking , what's the odds She's his only victim?
Probably more out there.
It’s actually about 37.975 percent chance that she’s the first person he’s tried to kill
I doubt it.
Exactly

They probably thought they would never and then all of a sudden technology changed that then they probably started sweating, 🤭

They compartmentalize it and move on. If you’re the type of person to commit this type of crime, you may not experience guilt like everyone else.

Sounds like he was given up for adoption, which is why it was hard to find him via dna family tree search... I'm glad they didn't give up though.
