Esther Gonzalez's murder case has remained unsolved for over 40 years until recent advancements in forensic genetic genealogy identified Lewis Randolph Williamson as her suspected killer, following a cold case investigation that utilized DNA evidence.
On February 9, 1979, Esther Gonzalez, 17, was found dead after being attacked while walking to her sister's home. Investigators identified her suspected killer decades later.
The initial investigation identified Williamson as a person of interest, but a polygraph test cleared him of suspicion. Years later, advancements in DNA testing linked him to the cold case.
The use of forensic investigative genetic genealogy in 2023 allowed authorities to revisit this decades-old case, leading to a breakthrough in identifying the murderer of Esther Gonzalez.
