According to the Michigan State Police, Roni Collins, a 75-year-old resident of Grand Blanc has been named as Elliott’s killer. She was last seen on Nov. 16, 1983 when she walked to the bus stop from her home in Flint. She was never seen again. She was reported missing several hours later when she failed to return home from school. According to the Michigan State Police, Roni Collins, a resident of Grand Blanc aged 75, has been identified as Elliott’s murderer. On Nov. 16, 1983 Elliott left her Flint home to walk to the school bus stop. She was never seen again. She was reported missing a few hours later after she failed to arrive home. It was terrible. “But we went and handed out missing signs to everyone you know in your neighborhood and town, and stores would display the missing in their windows,” Elliott’s Aunt, Judy Sika told FOX 66. Elliott’s body, discovered four days after she disappeared in Saginaw County, was found in a ditch. According to authorities, an autopsy revealed that she had been sexually abused and shot multiple times.FOLLOW FOX TRUE CRIME ON X “You just don’t realize how horrible it is when they tell you that they found her body,” Sika said on FOX 66. “That was awful. The students helped reorganize and digitize decades of investigative materials, providing crucial support to the renewed investigations,” MSP stated in a press release. The newly reexamined information led police to Collins. However, he committed suicide in January before authorities could get a voluntary sample of DNA. This is not the first time that forensic genetic genealogy has been used to help investigators solve a long-unsolved crime. Myers continued, “Then you begin to determine who is the most likely suspect.” “It usually comes down to three or four people.” Sometimes, it may be one person that stands out. If you combine that with someone who has been a badboy their entire life, then there’s a good possibility that this is who you are. “LIKE WHAT YOUR READING?” Find out more on the TRUE CRIME HUBAccording to Myers the testing of cold case evidence comes with the possibility that the samples have been damaged over time. The implementation of genetic genealogy, however, has made it easier for the investigators to do more with less. Myers said that they can now get DNA from just a single strand of hair, rather than a hair strand with a hair follicle. “In the 1980s and 1990s, a nickel-sized spot was reduced to a dime. It’s now three to five cells of skin – you can hardly see it. This is the DNA. “CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD FOX NEWS APPIn the wake of yet another cold-case being solved through genetic genealogy testing, Myers insists that the new technology is likely to act as a dissuader for aspiring criminals. They may rethink committing crimes because of the increased chance of being caught. Myers told Fox News Digital that investigative genealogy was more comprehensive and a larger thing. “But if they are on top of their game [investigators], you better be scared, because they will get it.”
