"54-Year-Old Cold Case Solved: Oregon Teen's Remains Identified Through Genetic Genealogy"
TL;DR Summary
After 54 years, the cold case of a missing teenager, Sandra Young, has been solved using advanced DNA technology. A distant relative uploaded their DNA to a genealogy database, leading to the identification of Young's remains found in Oregon in the late 1960s. The case's breakthrough came through genetic genealogy, and now authorities are urging further investigation into Young's death. This development sheds light on the disproportionate impact of missing persons cases on communities of color.
