Summary

Who was Bruce Everitt Lindahl? Lindahl was a serial killer in the 1970s and early 1980s around the Chicago area. He is suspected of a dozen murders, and it could have been more if he wasn't clumsy with a knife... Pamela Maurer, of Woodridge, was reported missing on Jan. 12, 1976, after leaving a friend's house. Her body was later found on the side of the road by a passing driver, who initially spotted her purse. Her case remained cold for more than four decades until there was a HUGE BREAK in the case...

We all walked around back then. You didn't have those worries. But then the body started multiplying, all young, all female, all alone at the time of

0:23.3

death. She was a very happy girl, very shy. She would never have gotten in willingly with any strangers

0:30.2

whatsoever. In 1976, 16-year-old Pamela Maurer was found on the side of the road in Lyle in the snow. She'd been strangled.

0:39.3

For 44 years, her murder remained a mystery. Today, investigators announced they found her killer

0:46.3

because back in 1976, police had the good sense to preserve what today is called DNA evidence. We finally put a name and a face to this monster.

0:57.0

Because of new DNA technology, police were able to create a picture of the killer from DNA evidence.

So, if you have any information, or perhaps you were victimized back in the 70s and never reported it to police. Police are now asking that

serial rapist and a serial killer. They think he was most active between 1974 and 1981.

1:40.9

cases being solved via genealogy, and and again this is amazing because as we all know cases

1:49.1

that we have covered mostly remain unsolved and with the new technology we are now able to

1:56.4

kind of break some of these cases on this week episode, we are going to be talking about science.

2:04.8

And as you all know, there are a few things that are constant in the world of true crime. And

2:11.0

those are crime scene investigations and DNA. Now, most recently, familial or genealogical DNA.

2:21.6

The term has made crime scene investigators
