在安大略Belleville发生的2000年强奸案中,25年来一直没有得到解决,直到前记者Jeremy Ashley(现为警官)利用遗传基因基因学确定William Dale为犯罪者。 A 2000 rape in Belleville, Ontario, remained unsolved for 25 years until former journalist Jeremy Ashley, now a police officer, used genetic genealogy to identify William Dale as the perpetrator. 调查人员利用现场组织留下的DNA建立家族树木并缩小嫌疑人范围,戴尔的DNA与犯罪现场匹配了万亿至一万亿倍的概率。 Using DNA from tissue left at the scene, investigators built family trees and narrowed suspects, with Dale’s DNA matching the crime scene by a trillion-to-one odds. 警方于2025年4月逮捕了他,当时警方从一个废弃的烟蒂中提取了DNA,指纹证据于5月证实了他的身份。 Police arrested him in April 2025 after collecting DNA from a discarded cigarette butt, and fingerprint evidence confirmed his identity in May. Dale被判处13年监禁,法官赞扬团队的坚持不懈精神和创新方法。 Dale was sentenced to 13 years in prison, with the judge commending the team’s persistence and innovative methods.
