The case is assigned to the Detective Zachary Williams of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office after being washed from multifarious LCSO homicide agents.
“This case, and so many of our cases, so many detectives have put so much effort into this,” Williams said. “I was in a fortunate enough position to push this closer to the finish line.”
Beginning in 2023, the LCSO started working with Othram, a DNA lab doing genetic testing out of Texas, to identify “Judy Doe.”
The LCSO they were working with Othram from the starting of 2023, And the investigation team was testing to identify the body of the boy “Judy Doe”.
LCSO worked with Othram for one year, trying to identify by conducting genetic genealogy testing.
“It’s terribly hard to work a homicide investigation if you don’t know who they are,” said David Mittelman, CEO of Othram.
Through trial and error, the two entities narrowed down the identity of Judy Doe to match that of a missing Arkansas teenager, Rebecca Sue Hill.
Doing so much trial and mistakes, the both organization find out the Judy Doe’s exact match of the lost Arkanas teenager named Rebecca Sue Hill.
