Summary

Episode 28 Virginia 'Ginger' Freeman Part 1 of 2

In 1981, realtor Ginger Freeman set out to show a vacant rural home to a potential buyer, a man she had never met. She never came home. Her husband found her body that evening, bludgeoned and stabbed, behind the home she was showing. Her male client had given a fake name, and no one knew who he was. And that remained true for 37 years. Thanks to forensic genealogy, investigators learned the name of the man who had killed Ginger – someone who had killed at least one other victim, and who had been looked at as a possible person of interest in Ginger’s investigation. Part 2 of this episode will feature an interview with CeCe Moore from Parabon Nanolabs who did the genealogy work in this case.
