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. 

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’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.
