We 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.

Doe ID: 'The Woman in the Well' Alice Spence
Episode 183 Doe ID: 'The Woman in the Well' Alice Spence The remains of a female were found in an abandoned well in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada in 2006. Experts and historians placed her murder to the early years of the 20th century – but they had no idea who she was. Thousands of hours of work dedicated to identifying her were expended to no avail. And then, IGG solved the riddle of The Woman in the Well, identifying her as Alice Burke Spence. This is her story.

Sandra Lison Part 1 of 2
Episode 182 Sandra Lison Part 1 of 2 Sandra Lison, a single mom of two, was abducted from a Green Bay, WI bar around 2:00 a.m. on a summer night in 1987. She was found raped and murdered many miles away just days later. A very complex investigation revealed some early suspects who placed themselves in police crosshairs – and they were eventually tried and convicted. But that is not the end of Sandra's story, which is a true testament to the mighty powers of IGG not only to identify the guilty, but to exonerate the innocent.

Doe ID: Donna Lass
Episode 181 Doe ID: Donna Lass In 1986, a human skull was found along Highway 20 and Interstate 80, 45 miles northwest of South Lake Tahoe, CA. At the time, investigators couldn't come to many conclusions other than the fact the skull belonged to a young woman, likely in her 20s, and she had been murdered. Years later DNA & genealogy would finally reveal the truth; the skull belonged to Donna Ann Lass, a 25 year-old nurse who vanished on September 6,1970 after finishing her shift at the Sahara Hotel Casino. An unknown man called Donna's employer to tell her Donna had left town for a family emergency, which turned out not to be true. Donna Lass was never seen again. It didn't take long for an infamous serial killer, 'The Zodiac', to seemingly latch himself to Donna's case, possibly providing clues, and taunting investigators. For decades, Zodiac's possible involvement muddied the waters in the Lass investigation. All these years later, we may know what happened to Donna, but we don't know who was responsible.

Audrey Hoellein Part 1 of 2
Episode 180 Audrey Hoellein Part 1 of 2 The 1994 murder of Audrey Hoellein on her bed in her Vancouver, WA apartment led to a very complex investigation with a large number of suspects. The case relied heavily on forensic testing, which found the DNA of two men on Audrey's comforter. Investigators could identify only one of them, and he was, for a time, the prime suspect. But it was the unidentified one – "Individual A" – whom the police zeroed in on. Once IGG identified him, and authorities started to put together their case against him, it opened a whole can of worms. The ending is not what you would expect.

Episode 179 Doe ID: 'Davie Canal Jane Doe' Lori Kearsey As in Marilyn Decker's case last week, Lori Kearsey was found murdered and floating in a Davie, FL canal in the 1980s. She remained a Jane Doe for decades, because she had no ties to the area. And when she was identified by IGG, it turned out that she was very much missed. Her killer remains at large, but detectives have a strong person of interest, and are actively working Lori's case.

Marilyn Decker
Episode 178 Marilyn Decker Marilyn Decker's mutilated body, wrapped in a pink plastic bag, was found floating in a Davie, FL canal in 1987. Her case was complex and featured many shady and transient suspects, but detectives could not pin the crime on any of them. It seemed the case would forever remain unsolved, until one determined detective took a chance on rootless hair evidence, and IGG. And those hairs led to a man police never suspected, an itinerant, seasoned criminal whose violent crimes are just now coming to light. This episode is sponsored by MasterClass.

Doe ID: 'Lime Lady' Tammy Tigard
Episode 177 Doe ID: 'Lime Lady' Tammy Tigard Today's case is that of the infamous "Lime Lady," the young white Jane Doe found covered in quicklime in Oklahoma in 1980. Investigators had very little to go on in her case, even though her features and physical attributes were very well preserved. She remained unidentified for nearly a half century. And when the DNA Doe Project gave her her name back, it simply gave rise to more questions – questions which remain unanswered.

Phyllis Bailer
Episode 176 Phyllis Bailer In 1972, Phyllis Bailer and her toddler daughter set out to make an evening drive to her parents' house for a weekend visit. The drive from their home in Indianapolis to Bluffton, IN should have taken less than two hours. But Phyllis and her child never made it. The next day came awful news for Phyllis's family when she was found dead in a ditch. Her young daughter Jodi was by her side, and suffered only a small injury. And so began a decades-long investigation into Phyllis's murder. A prime suspect focused on by the investigators for years and years seemed like the logical culprit. But police and Phyllis's family would not have definitive answers until IGG came along and pointed them in an entirely different direction.

Barbara Villarreal Part 1 of 2
Episode 174 Barbara Villarreal Part 1 of 2 In this Season 6 opener, you'll hear the jaw-dropping, twisty case of Barbara Carr Villarreal. Barbara was stabbed to death in her Garland, TX home in 1986. Her husband was also attacked in the home invasion. But stories and evidence did not match up, and police were left chasing their tails, and chasing their prime suspect who was in the wind. Nothing in this case was as it seemed to be, and justice for Barbara seemed unattainable. Modern investigators had to solve an identity theft case to find the true name of the person they believed was behind Barbara's murder, and then had to use kinship testing to finally name her murderer.
