Toronto police say DNA tests helped identify a woman found dead in Lake Ontario in August 2017 by leading investigators to her Swiss relatives, the latest cold case cracked by investigative genetic genealogy.
A Toronto detective says police would never have pinpointed a Moosonee man as the offendor in the historic murders of two Toronto women, 40 years ago, if it weren’t for recent developments in investigative genetic genealogy. Erin Gilmour, 22, and Susan Tice, 45, were both killed in their Toronto homes in 1983; sexually assaulted and stabbed to death.
