DNA evidence crucial in two recently solved Sarasota cold cases
Deputies, police solve murders of Deborah Dalzell, Judith Doherty
December 17, 2018
“Luke Fleming was arrested using brand new DNA technologies: phenotyping and genetic genealogy. DNA found on the scene of the crime was used to create a phenotype or a picture of what the killer could possibly look like. Then genetic genealogy linked that same DNA from the scene to Fleming’s family tree, ultimately connecting him to the murder. The technology was developed just six months prior to that by Parabon NanoLabs.
“It is becoming more and more popular," Dr. Ellen Greytak, director of bioinformatics for Parabon NanoLabs said. "Of course every time we solve a case and someone announces, ‘I’m not sure we could have solved this without these new tools,’ then other agencies start thinking, ‘are there cases that we have that have DNA?’””
FL - Deborah Dalzell, 47, found raped and murdered, Sarasota, 28 March 1999 *Arrest*
