The team utilized public databases and other evidentiary information to generate a strong lead for the Sandusky Police Department. The genealogy work led to a family with 12 children who were given up for adoption in various towns in Michigan.
Detective Costante then spoke to one of the surviving brothers, who revealed that he had not heard from his sister, Patricia Greenwood, since around the time the body was found in Sandusky.
Further interviews with surviving siblings suggested that Patricia may have been a sex worker at the time of her disappearance.
Sandusky Police need information
“The Sandusky Police Department is grateful for the assistance of the United States Marshals, Porchlight Project, and Bode Technology for their help with this investigation,” Detective Eric Costante announced.
“Being able to give Patricia Greenwood her name back is the first step in finding the justice that she so deserves,” Porchlight Project board member Nic Edwards said. “Thank you to the brilliant folks at Bode for the wonderful work that they do.”
