The Night Shift

On July 9th, 1967, 20-year-old Susan Galvin was taking her usual route to her night shift at the Seattle Police Department. When she failed to show up for two shifts, she was reported missing. 5 days later, her body would be found lying strangled in an elevator. Investigators searched for the culprit, but all leads were dead ends. That was until forensic genetic genealogy was developed, and finally, a name was connected to the evidence that had been collected more than 50 years earlier.
