Precious Jane Doe identified after 43 years

The genome data generated from rootless hair samples allowed Dr. Ed Green and the Astrea pipeline to produce a genotype file for forensic genetic genealogy. This led Barbara Rae-Venter to identify Sonohomish County’s “Precious Jane Doe” as Lisa Roberts, 43 years after her murder. Congratulations to Sonohomish County and so many others involved in the case over the decades.
