There is no statute of limitations on JUSTICE BEING SERVED. Even after 45 years. Didja hear the latest?

In 1973 11-year-old Linda O'Keefe was raped and murdered. The cops never stopped looking for her murderer.

Sometime recently either James Alan Neal (now 72) submitted his DNA to a genearlogical site or someone in his family did.

The DNA matched the DNA taken from Linda's body.

So you see you can run but you can't hide forever. One day you will be caught. Meanwhile all stupid dumb crooks should submit their DNA to genealogical websites. Great invention. It always catches the stupid dumbs.

    Thankfully, most criminals are "dumb".

    According to an interview with an FBI agent I read years ago, the FBI believes there are serial criminals that aren't caught because they are smart enough to work alone, never tell anybody about the crime, and vary their methods.  He pointed to the high number of people who disappear and are never found, as "evidence" of uncaught serial killers.  (not that all disappearances are, but there are too many for some not to be)

    But Whitey Bulger lived in Arizona I think for years and was caught. I dunno Walt. I think ultimately eventually they will all be caught and "brought to justice". If not in the here and now then hopefully in the hereafter wherever that is. The concept of UNIVERSAL JUSTICE calls out to me and comforts me. Whether there really is such a thing as that or only exists in my mind doesn't matter I mean a lot of what we believe we can't prove so this is just another one of "those" things. Thank you for thoughtful reply! :)

    I am glad he was caught. Was it legal for the DNA to be tested for a criminal case without a warrant?

    I don't know the answer to that question m2c. You mean the genealogical society would require a warrant to use that info before releasing to the police who were working the case? I dunno. Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday!  :)

    There should be a warrant or it should be clear in the DNA test that results may be given to the law enforcement. And that by submitting their DNA the person is agreeing.

    I've done 3 DNA tests ... and none say it may be given to law enforcement.  But they do say the material becomes property of the company doing the testing.  So I guess they can turn their property over to law enforcement, without a warrant.

    That seems very convoluted to me m2c and also ridiculous. That you have get the PERMISSION of  a potential perp to use evidence he provides willingly in another context against him. I mean doesn't that seem absurd to you too? Going out of one's way to "protect the rights" of the murderer? Who protects the rights of the victim.?

    No, it does not sound absurd to me. It is our constitutional right to due process under the 4th and 5th amendments. So either permission or a warrant. This post was edited by my2cents at February 23, 2019 6:06 AM MST

    Yeah.  Yeah.   I heard. I heard.

    The girl has been dead for decades and this pig lived his life free.  That is what I really heard.

    Murder never has a statute.  Too bad it took so long.
