Episode 156 Pam Conyers

 In one of the oldest cases covered by DNA: ID, in 1970, 16 year old Pam Conyers vanished after an evening trip to the Harundale Mall in Ann Arundel County, MD.  There was no question that Pam had run away, and police immediately began a search for the teen.  Two days after she left the mall with her purchase, her car was found hidden in brush in a wooded median of a new highway that was being constructed, not far from her home.  Soon, her body was found nearby.  Pam had been raped and murdered, and dumped in the woods not far from the construction site.  Clues discovered at her autopsy and in her car led police to theorize that there were two perpetrators.  Whoever they were, they eluded investigators for decades.  Finally, when the Parabon genealogist used IGG, she was able to identify a suspect.  And then the FBI stepped in an identified another.
