Framingham Rapist Identified
The crimes took place in the morning of December 27, 1989. The armed suspect entered a Framingham clothing store. Then he robbed and assaulted two female employees, aged 18 and 29.
Now, propelled by the promise of DNA evidence and aided by advancements in forensic technology, authorities have identified Gale as the prime suspect. Wanted on charges including aggravated rape, kidnapping, and armed robbery, Gale’s name has been etched into the annals of infamy in Framingham’s history.
The breakthrough in the investigation came through the collaborative efforts of law enforcement agencies and the application of genetic genealogy. This cutting-edge technique, pioneered in notable cases like the apprehension of the Golden State Killer, leverages familial DNA samples to construct intricate family trees, ultimately unmasking elusive culprits.
