Summary
Today on Greta Wire: - Eric Schubert explains how he contacts Pennsylvania State Police at age 18 and offers to investigate the unsolved 1964 abduction, sexual assault and murder of a young girl walking to school in Hazleton. - Schubert analyzes preserved crime-scene DNA, builds roughly 50 to 60 family trees and connects several distant genetic matches to the Forte family. - The investigation narrows to bartender James Paul Forte after Schubert discovers Forte later brutally assaults another woman near the same stripping pits. - DNA from relatives and a preserved hairbrush eliminates Forte’s brother, leading a judge to approve the exhumation that conclusively identifies Forte as the killer. - Schubert’s breakthrough gives the victim’s family long-awaited answers and shocks Forte’s surviving friends and relatives nearly six decades after the crime.
