DNA. A case in Ontario, Canada spanning back to the mid 80's was solved in Oct 2020 due to the perp having committed suicide. Police found his blood was still retained at the place that did his autopsy and used the blood to match him to someone in his family tree online... when they found out who his family was, they were able to figure out who he was. He had been a friend of the family at the time, and this was a horrific murder. The way he left his victim is unbelievable! I'm skipping the gory details but if you google Christine Jessop, you'll learn just how awful this case was! Incidentally, this appears to have been his only murder (that police know of so far), and it doesn't appear that he ever told a soul, including his wife whom he had been married to at the time of the crime. She didn't even seem to suspect him, and was shocked when police told her.
How DNA and a genealogy website helped lead to the killer of Christine Jessop
I just finished watching the video and reading about the Christine Jessop murder, photographer4, and what especially stood out to me was that it was discovered that the REAL murderer of Christine Jessop had a connection to her family. The murderers wife worked with Christine Jessops father. My point being that whomever murdered Abby and Libby might possibly have some kind of connection to either or both girls families, albeit a very small one. This case makes me doubly glad that LE working on the girls case are NOT rushing to charge someone until they are SURE that their case is ironclad.
