Episode 159 Doe ID Carl Bryant Warning: this episode explicitly addresses child abuse and murder. In 1972, the brutally beaten body of a young child was found in a shallow creek in Fairfax County, VA. Little John Lorton Doe was unidentified and unclaimed, and was buried in a local cemetery by a church group. Investigators over the decades never forgot the little boy, and when cold case detective Melissa Wallace took on the case, she used mere iotas of rootless hairs, cutting edge DNA technology, and IGG to identify him as four year old Carl Matthew Bryant. But the story of Carl Bryant, killed at the hands of an abuser, became even more shocking when it was revealed that he was not the only one.

Bonus Episode: Robert Eugene Brashers Identified as Killer in Austin Yogurt Shop Murders
This is a special bonus episode based on breaking news. Serial Killer Robert Eugene Brashers has been identified as the killer in the infamous 1991 Austin Yogurt Shop Murders in Austin, Texas. In that case, four teenage girls were shot execution style before the yogurt shop was set on fire. Killed in that case were 17 year old Jennifer Harbison, and her 15 year old sister Sarah Harbison. Also killed were 17 year old Eliza Thomas, and 13 year old Amy Ayers. DNA from the crime scene was connected to Robert Eugene Brashers who we covered back in episode 104 in the murders of Sherri and Megan Scherer and Genevieve Zitricki. In this bonus episode, host Jessica Bettencourt breaks down how the Yogurt shop murders were connected to Brashers, and discusses a yet unrevealed victim he may be linked to in Kentucky. We will also replay the original Brashers episode here for listeners who may not have listened to it before, or want a refresher on just how brutal a predator Robert Eugene Brashers was.

Mary Schlais Part 1 of 2
Episode 158 Mary Schlais Part 1 of 2 In one of the oldest cold case homicides solved by IGG, Mary Schlais’s shocking murder in Dunn County, WI was finally resolved. Way back in 1974, a witness saw the killer disposing of Mary’s bloody body in a snowbank, and the killer dropped something at the scene… and yet, his identity eluded investigators for 50 years. Dunn County investigators never gave up on Mary’s case, and when investigative genetic genealogy came along, they jumped at the opportunity, once and for all, to obtain justice for the bright, multi-lingual, artistic young equestrian who had her whole life ahead of her until it was snatched away with a few thrusts of a knife. Finally, they had a name for the monster who stabbed Mary to death. And what they would hear from him was shocking.

Doe ID: Darylnn Washington
Episode 157 Doe ID: Darylnn Washington In 2006, a Jane Doe was found in a vacant home on the east side of Detroit. Police efforts to identify her were in vain, but the name of her killer soon emerged as a slew of murdered women were all linked to one man – Shelly Andre Brooks. Brooks confessed to murdering Jane Doe, but what can be done when the killer never knew his victim’s name? The answer is – investigative genetic genealogy. An IGG analysis pointed to a close family member of Jane Doe, and testing confirmed her name as Darylnn Washington.

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.
