Investigators in Arizona have received the results of genetic testing that have confirmed the woman, known as 'Lake Mead Maeve,' was first-generation Irish. This discovery has led detectives to seek assistance from Ireland to help establish her true identity.
Investigators in Indiana are considering utilizing DNA testing to identify the skeletal remains discovered on the property of suspected gay serial killer Herb Baumeister. This testing is contingent on receiving DNA samples from victims' relatives. Baumeister, who was believed to have murdered up to 25 young men in the 1980s and 90s, took his own life in 1996 as police pursued him. The investigation initially found over 10,000 bones and fragments at his estate but stalled due to funding cuts.
