In 2001, an 84 year old woman was raped in her home in Manchester, CT.  In 2004, another Manchester woman was raped. In 2007, another.  In 2008, a fourth woman from the neighboring town of Vernon was victimized.  A recognizable pattern emerged, and investigators knew they had a serial rapist on their hands.  But they didn’t know who he was. A John Doe warrant provided probable cause for arrest, but 10 years elapsed before IGG gave a name to John Doe. And the identity of the suspect would shock the community to its core.

In July 1971, a living Jane Doe was found beaten and unconscious on a rural dirt road in Howard County, MD.  The woman lingered for nearly two months before succumbing to her injuries, but was never able to communicate, so her identity remained unknown.  Not until a determined investigator applied IGG to her case was her name revealed: Sarah Sharkey.  While news of her identification reunited long lost family members, there remain a lot of questions about who killed Sarah.

In the summer of 1995, Patricia “Patsy” Barnes was a fixture in the Seattle, WA transient community.  Patsy never met a stranger, and when she disappeared, police had a lot of work to do to try to figure out who shot her, wrapped her nude body in an old sleeping bag, and dumped her in a ditch in a residential neighborhood in Kitsap County.  Despite their best efforts and a detailed sketch of her abductor, the case went unsolved.  It took four consistent samples of DNA and IGG to identify her killer, whose own story was a tale as old as time, with a dramatic finalé.
