‘She Was Not Trash’: Body Found in Indiana Is Identified After 30 Years
"For three decades, she was known only as Jane Doe, ever since her body was found dumped on the embankment of an interstate highway in Indiana in May 1992.
But on Wednesday, the authorities in Boone County, Ind., said that they had finally identified her as Margaret Ann Sniegowski Jr., a teenager who had disappeared from the home she shared with her parents in Toledo, Ohio."
Her DNA was matched with a half-sister. There is a very moving statement by her brother: “My family is grateful for everybody that looked, worried, searched, cared, cried and handled my little sister over these years in this case, as though she was your own little sister,” he said.
There is speculation she was a victim of the I-65 killer who was also recently identified using DNA/genetic genealogy, Harry Edward Greenwell, who died in 2013 at age 68.
‘I-65 Killer’ Who Terrorized Motel Clerks in the 1980s Is Identified
"His chosen conduit for terror was Interstate 65, preying on women working as night clerks at motels along the highway.
For more than three decades, the serial killer evaded the authorities, who say he was responsible for at least three murders and a separate sexual assault in Kentucky and Indiana during the late 1980s and in 1990.
Investigators now say that they have discovered the identity of the man known as the I-65 Killer, and that he died in 2013 at age 68.
At a news conference on Tuesday in Indianapolis, the authorities said that the killings were committed by Harry Edward Greenwell, who had served at least two prison sentences, in Iowa and Kentucky, for a string of violent crimes."
