1964 Murder of Marise Chiverella solved with DNA genealogy

America ı By Jackie Allen

DNA technology

The DNA sample was checked monthly, with no results.

In 2019, police released Parabon Nanolabs composite images of their suspect. Parabon uses DNA to create a composite profile. Using DNA features such as sex, skin type, eye, and hair color. The composite showed a light-skinned male with green or hazel eyes.

In 2019 Eric Schubert offered to help on the case.

Genetic Genealogy whiz kid Eric Schubert

Eric Schubert, a history major at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania and owner of ES Genealogy offered his services pro bono to the police. He has helped other police agencies crack their cold cases using genetic genealogy. 

This technology blends the use of DNA testing with traditional genealogical research.

 By that time, new DNA technology had established a distant family connection to Forte. It was Eric Schubert, who put together an extensive family tree that helped investigators narrow down the suspect list.

Schubert believed that James Paul Forte was the killer. But Forte was deceased.

State police exhumed the long-dead assailant’s body last month. And they found an exact match to DNA left on the child’s jacket.

“The investigation that went into all of this work was probably the hardest genealogy task that I’ve ever faced. This was probably the hardest thing that I’ve ever done in my entire life,” Schubert said. “And it means so much to me that I was able to be on the team that could provide answers to the Chiverella family.”
