And then I would build their trees backward to see if they also had ancestry exclusively from Gasparina or nearby.
And so I needed to find somebody who's
whose ancestors intermarried with people from their hometown.
And we also had done a snapshot phenotype in that case, and he had a little bit unique traits.
I'm not sure I can go into that right now, but he had, for Southern Italian, he had sort of unusual physical traits.
And so I was able to look at that as well.
And it wasn't that many people who came to Lancaster from that town.
I mean, there was a fair amount, but it was a very defined migration route.
And it was a small percent of the overall population.
So I figured if there was only a few hundred who came over, then that was doable.
It was just going to take time.
Anyone who intermarried with someone from a different population group, their descendants were out.
So I just kept building these trees and seeing who would fit.
And then as I was doing that, each of those descendants who would be a candidate, I started doing newspaper searches on them.
And one of them
turned out, had the same address as Lindy.
I found a, I think it was an engagement announcement in the newspaper, and I was just blown away.
What are the chances of doing this for months and months, years actually, of behind the scenes building these trees and it leading right to the same apartment building that Lindy was killed in?
There's a couple other things about him that were compelling, but because this is still an active case, I won't go into those.
But I felt pretty confident, but I didn't have any solid evidence like I normally have.
