Sergeant John Elliott

We were trying to figure out how to notify the family we got a name. And this was before I even found where Andrea Taylor was. And their initial plan was to tell them we made some developments, we got a name, and we're still doing work. We felt comfortable, at least at that point, telling them we made progress. Well, me and Noelle from the lab were talking about how we're going to do this.

Kay out of the blue texts me or calls me. She says, oh, I'm in town from California. I was just wondering if you'd give me a call, if there's any updates. I tell Kay, I say, hey, why don't you just come to the station? I haven't seen you in a while, and I'll go over everything with you. And then we tell them everything that we've done.

Noelle tells them that we've identified a name for the process.

But we did tell them, though, it's very preliminary. We got a name, but we got to find a person.

Just because we got the CODIS hit, our procedure is that we have to get a confirmatory DNA sample. So then I had to find Andre Taylor to get a known DNA standard from him to confirm and make the match between the evidence and Andre Taylor.

I used the help of Secret Service and their database, our analysts, to try and come up with where he lived. We had some idea in Washington, D.C., where he lived. And one of my partners and I, we spent a couple of days going through Washington, D.C., trying to find where Andre Taylor was.

And we had no luck because everywhere we went, places either abandoned, one was a homeless shelter, or they had no idea what we were talking about. So we had no idea. I checked with the medical examiner's office in Maryland, D.C., Virginia, and there was no record of Andre Taylor being deceased.

Our thought process is, well, he's receiving some type of money from Social Security. Maybe it's being reported for tax purposes. We're going to contact the IRS, their criminal investigators, and they're going to tell us a bank. that Social Security uses to make automatic deposits. They didn't provide us any type of private information or privileged information.

However, it gave us enough information to obtain a subpoena for a particular bank, and then that gave us an address in Washington, D.C.

In that jurisdiction, we got a search warrant for his DNA. In March, we went to that nursing home, and we found him in room 219. It was March 14th. I remember I went and met with the D.C. detectives at their office. We drive there, and as soon as we walk into the front lobby, the detective I was working with said, hey, we're looking for Mr. Andre Taylor.
