Anything to do with serial killers. As squeamish as it may sound

A 1959 murder of a 9 yo girl in Spokane, WA is solved through DNA analysis...

The suspect committed suicide in 1970.

As a sad side note, a helicopter searching for the young girl in 1959, crashed after coming in contact with high-tension wires which resulted in the death of 3 airmen.

In another DNA case, a suspect was arrested in a rape and assault that occurred 30 years ago in Georgia...

If you've raped someone during the past... well now 59 years... You have to be nervous about how many of these types of cases are being solved.

This one is a very sad story I feel for her .... May her soul rest in peace and light forever.

One of those that has many potential suspects but very difficult to say "he did it".

Danny Rolling known as the Gainesville Ripper was a gruesome story

Started off by murdering a family in Shreveport, LA.

In Florida he used a Kabar knife which was made here.

It will come to the point where every newborn baby will have their DNA taken at the hospital immediately after birth. It will be all but impossible to get away with these crimes.

I've thought about this as well. I've been wondering when it will become a mandatory thing.

Crazy thing is. They don’t even need your DNA. They just need one of your close relatives DNA.

There must be some killers who have gotten away with it so far that are shaking in their boots these days. What you're talking about is how they caught the Golden State Killer. I don't think they would have otherwise. Fascinating stuff.

yep. Because now they don’t even need a warrant to obtain the suspects DNA. If they have a relative who is willing to provide DNA to them. Then if the familial DNA matches. Makes it much easier to get a judge to sign off on a warrant compelling the suspect to provide DNA.

Shoot the police can also stake out your house and get your trash or wait to see you touch something.

Just got through watching a three-part series on the Co-Ed killer on ID. I had no idea he even existed but was a good show.

Ed Kemper.

One of the early serial killers.

Killed his grandparents in the mid 60's and then was let out (as a juvenile) way too early and started killing again in the early 70's.

Ended by killing his mother, dismembering her body and then killing her best friend in order to make it look like her and his mother had gone out of town on a trip.

He then took off, but decided to turn himself in.

A massive guy who's very smart also.

His from-prison interviews found on YouTube are very interesting.

The first impression i got from his interviews was that he appeared quite normal and sane.

True.

He seems to accept what he did.

I've heard/seen countless interviews with other serial killers like Bundy and Gacy and they're eager to deflect blame.

He is the only serial killer that I would like to have a conversation with.

Today is the 30th Anniversary of "The Yogurt Shop" murders which occurred in Austin, TX on December 6th, 1991.

From Wiki...

"The 1991 Austin yogurt shop murders were an unsolved quadruple homicide which took place at an I Can't Believe It's Yogurt! shop in Austin, Texas, United States on Friday, December 6, 1991. The victims were four teenage girls: 13-year-old Amy Ayers (or Ayres), 17-year-old Eliza Thomas, 17-year-old Jennifer Harbison and Jennifer's 15-year-old sister Sarah. Jennifer and Eliza were employees of the shop, while Sarah and her friend Amy were in the shop to get a ride home with Jennifer after it closed at 11:00 pm. Approximately sixty minutes before closing time, a man who had tried to hustle customers in his queue was permitted to use the toilet in back, took a very long time and may have jammed a rear door open. A couple who left the shop just before 11:00 pm, when Jennifer locked the front door to prevent more customers entering, reported seeing two men at a table acting furtively.

Around midnight a police patrolman reported a fire in the shop, and first responders discovered the bodies of the girls inside. The victims had been shot in the head; some had been raped. A .22 and a .380 pistol were used to commit the murders, and the perpetrator(s) probably exited out through a back door that was found unlocked. The organized method of operation, ability to control the victims, and destruction of evidence by arson pointed to an adult experienced in crime rather than teenagers, according to one of the original detectives on the case. Austin Police Department has DNA from an unknown male as a result of one of the rapes.[1] A Y-chromosome match for the perpetrator DNA has been found in a research database of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) but it has declined to reveal the identity of the man in accordance with the law of anonymity for donors, and because thousands of men could bear this fragment of DNA, which is unable to identify individuals."


Heinous crime.

I don't quite get the FBI thing.

But at this point I would think the DNA could be sent to one of the DNA analysis centers used in conjunction with other cold crimes that have been solved.
