DNA: ID
by AbJack EntertainmentWe all hear stories almost daily now about cold cases being solved by investigative genetic genealogy. This new crime-solving tool answers the “who” question about these often decades-old crimes... but what about the why? This podcast will look at crimes solved by genetic genealogy, and examine the connection - if any - between the victim and the killer, and why the crime occurred. Each case is unique, and has its own story behind the headline. Join us for DNA: ID. New episodes will come out every other week on Mondays.

Carol Sue Klaber Part 1 of 2

Episode 78 Carol Sue Klaber Part 1 of 2
In June 1976, 16 year old Carol Sue Klaber was found in a ditch, half nude and bludgeoned to death. She had last been seen by multiple witnesses getting into a distinctive sedan driven by a tall, slender, blond young man. But no one knew who he was. Multiple leads and suspects failed to pan out. Then two years later a horrific rape happened in Park Hills that almost exactly mirrored Carol’s case, down to the description of the suspect. Unfortunately, police didn’t know who this rapist was, either. Both cases went unsolved for more than 40 years. When cold case investigators reopened the Carol Klaber case, they ended up solving both: one using forensic genealogy, and the other, using old fashioned methods.
Part 2 of this episode is available now.

DOE ID; 'Granby Girl' Patricia Ann Tucker
27m · Published
Episode 77 DOE ID; 'Granby Girl' Patricia Ann Tucker
In November, 1978, the unidentified remains of a woman were found in a logging area in Granby, Massachusetts. Police determined that the woman, who was estimated to be in her 20's, had been shot in the head and was a homicide victim. A belt was found wrapped around her neck, an indication that the killer had used it to drag the body to where it was found. Police were not able to link the unidentified woman to any local missing persons cases, and she was dubbed 'Granby Girl'. She was laid to rest in a grave marked 'unknown'.
Decades later, armed with advancements in DNA & forensic genealogy, investigators exhumed Granby Girl's body in an attempt to finally ID her. Using genealogy, it was determined that 'Granby Girl' was actually Patricia Ann Tucker who was last known to be living on the shore of Lake Pocotopaug in East Hampton, Connecticut with her husband, Gerald Coleman. Patricia was last seen when her and her husband Gerald dropped off her son Matthew at a friend's home in Chicopee, Massachusetts in August 1978. They told the friend that they would be back soon after looking for an apartment, but never returned. CPS was called in by the friend to pick up Matthew, but for some reason, a search for Patricia was never initiated. Gerald Coleman never reported his wife missing, and it came to light that he had a troubling criminal record. He died in prison for an unrelated crime, and he remains at the top of the police suspect list as they try and close Patricia's murder case.
Anyone with information about the case of Patricia Ann Tucker, or her husband Gerald Coleman, is asked to call Granby Police at 413-467-9222 or email [email protected] or visit the Granbypd.org website.
Eventually. DNA & genealogy gave 'Granby Girl' her name back. She was Patricia Ann Tucker and this is her story.

Leslie Perlov and Janet Taylor Part 1 of 2
1h 5m · PublishedEpisode 76 Leslie Perlov and Janet Taylor Part 1 of 2
In 1973, Leslie Perlov, Stanford graduate and Stanford Law Library clerk, was found slain in the hills overlooking the Stanford campus. In 1974, it happened again. Janet Taylor was found in a roadside ditch, after hitchhiking on the Stanford campus. The similarities between the two cases were startling, down to the identical ages of the victims. Investigators were so desperate for suspects, they interviewed the likes of Ed Kemper and Ted Bundy. But those famed serial killers weren’t involved in the Stanford murders – another serial killer was, one who was as of yet unknown – one who also had ties to Stanford. When forensic genealogy revealed his name, people who knew him were shocked. But women who had survived his predatory behavior were not - they knew what John Arthur Getreu was capable of.

DOE: ID Claudette Jean Zebolsky Powers
18m · Published
Episode 75 Doe ID; Claudette Jean Zebolsky Powers
On February 16, 1986, human remains were found in the northern San Diego, CA community of Warner Springs near a camp site on the Los Coyotes Indian reservation. The remains were found to belong to a woman who had no identification with her. Although decomposition, and scavenger activity had taken their toll and scattered her remains, police were able to estimate that she was a caukasian and between 20 and years old. An autopsy could not pinpoint a cause of death, but she was found to have been a victim of homicidal violence.
The woman was simply listed as a Jane Doe, and cremated. Investigators collected some of her hair including a root, and decades later, that would prove beneficial. Eventually, San Diego investigators employed genetic genealogy and learned that their Jane Doe was actually, Claudette Jean Zebolsky Powers. She was in her mid 20s at the time she died. Her family in Michigan had lost touch with her when she moved out West with her husband who was in the Army, and very little is known about Claudette's life leading up to her murder.
Police are still digging to try and figure out who may be responsible for Claudette's death, and they are also considering whether or not the death of another unidentified set of remains, a man, found in the same general area during that time frame may be connected to Claudette's case. This San Diego Jane Doe has her name back, it's Claudette Jean Zebolsky Powers, and this is her story.
Deputies are offering a potential $1,000 reward for information leading to a felony arrest and have asked people to call the Sheriff’s Homicide Unit at (858) 285-6330. Tipsters can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477

Susan Negersmith
1h 28m · PublishedEpisode 74 Susan Negersmith
In 1990, 20 year old college student Susan Negersmith went to beach town Wildwood, NJ with friends for Memorial Day weekend. Her body was found behind a local restaurant, half naked, shoeless, bloody, riddled with injuries, and with visible marks on her throat. Someone had taken pains to ensure she was obscured from view of passersby – yet her death was ruled an accident. It took her father 6 years to get her death certificate changed to reflect that her death was a homicide – but by that time, the damage was done. Even forensic genealogy, with its wondrous power to provide answers, may not be able to deliver justice for Susan Negersmith.

DOE ID; 'Jasper County Doe' William Joseph 'Bill' Lewis
41m · PublishedOn October 15, 1983, a trapper on a private tract of land outside of Rensselaer in Jasper County Indiana found the unidentified remains of a young man. An investigation revealed that the man had been the victim of a homicide. He was dubbed 'Jasper County Doe'.
Based on similar murders of other young men in the area around the same time, police believed that Jasper County Doe was just one more victim in a string of murders committed by a serial killer that was dubbed 'The Highway Killer'. Many of his victims were young men who were found partially undressed. Police theorized that killer was targeting young gay men.
Eventually, the authorities came to believe that the killer was a serial killer named Larry Eyler.
He was responsible for the abductions and murders of several young men in the Midwest.
While Eyler was convicted and sent to prison in relation to his crimes, police still didn't know the identity of Jasper County Doe.
Eventually. DNA & genealogy gave Jasper County Doe his name back. He was William Joseph 'Bill' Lewis, and this is his story.

Eve Wilkowitz
1h 31m · Published20 year old Eve Wilkowitz’s life was all coming together during the first few days of spring, 1980. She had a job she loved and a new boyfriend. Her daily commute into Manhattan from Bay Shore, Long Island was long, but Eve had plans to move into the city. Someone took all that away from her. After boarding the last LIRR train from the city to Long Island, Eve vanished. Her loved ones were frantic for three days, and their worst fears came true when she turned up dead in the backyard of a nearby home. Police turned her complicated love life upside down, and left no stone unturned. Their theory that Eve’s abductor and murderer was a neighbor was correct – but they would not know that for decades to come.
