Introducing; DNA: ID We all hear stories almost daily now about cold cases being solved by investigative genetic genealogy. This new crime-solving tool answers the "who" question about these often decades-old crimes.... but what about the why? This podcast will look at crimes solved by genetic genealogy, and examine the connection - if any - between the victim and the killer, and why the crime occurred. Each case is unique, and has its own story behind the headline. Join us for DNA: ID. New episodes will come out every other week on Mondays. This preview of episode 1 explores the 1972 rape and murder of 20 year-old Jody Loomis in Snohomish County, Washington. It took nearly five decades for law enforcement, armed with the latest genetic genealogy tools, to catch Jody's killer. Finding him was just the beginning of the story.

Years later, a technicality would allow the young couple's killer to walk free. John's Niece Wendy, who was only 6 years old at the time of the murders, vividly remembers her father getting the heartbreaking phone call that his younger Brother was dead.

Melissa Sue Mims Platt Oct 24, 2020

Show notes

Episode 71 Melissa Sue Mims Platt In October, 2008 police in North Carolina were called to do a welfare check on 31 year-old mother of 2, Melissa Sue Mims Platt. After not hearing from Melissa in quite a while, her mother Marian felt something was wrong. Police found Melissa, in the home she shared with her boyfriend, lying on her bed covered in her own urine and excrement. She had been severely beaten and was barely alive. Melissa was airlifted to the hospital, and police began to question Melissa's boyfriend. He claimed that Melissa had fallen in the tub. The issue was, doctors stated that a severe beating, and not a fall had caused Melissa's injuries; and even worse, she had suffered the injuries several days earlier. In the hospital, Melissa in a brief moment of consciousness, detailed that she was attacked. Sadly, Melissa slipped back into unconsciousness, and despite the best efforts of hospital staff, she died 2 months later in December. As if losing Melissa wasn't bad enough, her family also had to come to grips that Melissa's boyfriend wouldn't face charges in relation to Melissa's death. Doctor's noted long term injuries, suffered over time by Melissa- evidence that clearly points to domestic violence. Eight years later, Melissa's family is struggling to deal with the fact that the person who likely is responsible for Melissa's death remains free. Melissa's sister, Michelle is the guest in this episode. To learn more about Melissa's case, please visit the Facebook page about her at: https://www.facebook.com/justiceformelissaplatt/ October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
