LaQuetta Gunther, Julie Green, and Iwana Patton Part 1 of 2 Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

Episode 44 LaQuetta Gunther, Julie Green, and Iwana Patton Part 1 of 2 In late 2005 and early 2006, the city of Daytona Beach was haunted by a serial killer. LaQuetta Gunther was found the day after Christmas, shot in the head. Weeks later, Julie Green was found, also shot in the head. And then Iwana Patton. The cases were eerily similar, and a multi-agency investigative task force tried to track down the Daytona Beach Killer. For nearly two years he was dormant before another possible victim was killed in late 2007. Then, nothing – until the murder of Rachel Bey in Palm Beach County in 2016. A CODIS hit confirmed what investigators feared – this guy was still operating; he had just changed his hunting grounds. Fears he would continue to kill prompted the use of forensic genealogy to identify three brothers as possible suspects, one of whom lived in Daytona in 2005 and 2006. His name was Robert Tyrone Hayes. His arrest put a stop to the murders, and gave some resolution to LaQuetta, Julie, and Iwana's families.

Bobbi Jo Oberholtzer and Annette Schnee Part 1 of 2 Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

Episode 43 Bobbi Jo Oberholtzer and Annette Schnee Part 1 of 2 In 1982, two young women went missing from Breckinridge, Colorado on the same frigid January night, but at different times. Bobbi Jo Oberholtzer was found the next morning, shot to death atop Hoosier Pass. It took seven months to find Annette Schnee, who was shot to death in a remote location near Fairplay. Investigators always knew the cases were related, but could not run down a viable suspect. Finally, a bloody glove, an orange sock, a mountain-top distress signal, and forensic genealogy all worked together to identify Alan Lee Phillips as the killer of the two women. He was convicted in September 2022 of a double murder that haunted Colorado investigators for 40 years.

Laura Purchase Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

Episode 42: Laura Purchase In 1983, a burning body was found in the woods off League Line Road in Montgomery County, Texas. It was a woman, and she had been raped, murdered, posed, and set alight. But no one knew who she was – and it stayed that way for years. Once she was identified as Laura Purchase of Michigan, it did not help investigators trying to solve her murder. The case went cold. In 2019, Detective Fadi Rizk reopened the case, and utilized forensic genealogy that led them to one man. The original investigators' theory had been correct – the killer was a trucker. And he was still alive and kicking – for now.

Anna Marie Hlavka Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

Episode 41 Anna Marie Hlavka A very perplexing murder took place in Portland, Oregon in 1979. Anna Marie Hlavka was home alone, simmering dinner on the stove, when someone killed her. Her apartment showed no signs of a struggle, and very few clues. A motley crew of suspects, headed up by one man named in some strange graffiti, stayed on police radar until one by one, they were eliminated by DNA. Finally, forensic genealogy named the killer as someone not on police radar – and not even in the same time zone. This is truly a case that would never have been solved without forensic genealogy and great detective work together. This episode is sponsored by Magic Mind, The World's First Productivity Shot.
