Forensic genealogy helped nab the Golden State Killer in 2018. Now investigators across the country are using it to revisit hundreds of unsolved crimes. In October 2016, the remains of three murder victims, dead for three decades, were laid to rest in Newton County, a rural corner of Indiana.
Two were young men, likely teenagers, the victims of a serial killer in 1983. The third was a woman found dead in 1988 on the bank of a creek. She had been shot in the head, covered with car tires and lit on fire.
Vince Fumanti, of Prior Lake (formerly from the Iron Range), passed away unexpectedly on April 3, 2021, at the age of 66.
Vincent Paul Fumanti was born to parents, Victor and Verna (Bailey) Fumanti, on Sept. 30, 1954. He was the youngest of three and loved growing up in Hibbing with his sisters, Vivian and Vickie. A wanderer by nature, he lived in many places, but his heart never left the Iron Range.
Upon graduation from High School, Vince enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and proudly served his country until he was honorably discharged. He was once, and always will be, a Devil Dog.
