Murders that occurred 47 years ago don’t often get solved. But then again, there are tools and technology available today that wasn’t in 1975. That’s when 19-year-old Lindy Sue Biechler was stabbed to death in her Manor Township apartment in Lancaster County. The case was officially cold until just two weeks ago when police arrested 68 year old David Sinopoli of East Hempfield Township, Lancaster County. The break came when genetic genealogist CeCe Moore was able to connect DNA recovered from the crime scene to Sinopoli’s family ancestry. Joining us on today’s Smart Talk are Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams and CeCe Moore, Chief Genetic Genealogist at Parabon NanoLabs.
