A Northern California man suspected of sexually assaulting two women decades ago is now facing charges after detectives recovered his DNA from a discarded Baskin-Robbins spoon and found it matched the crime scenes.
A Northern California man suspected of sexually assaulting two women decades ago is now facing charges after detectives recovered his DNA from a discarded Baskin-Robbins spoon and found it matched the crime scenes, officials said.
In September 1997, another woman was attacked while walking by Livermore High School, prosecutors said. The suspect pulled her from the bleachers, held her to the ground and sexually assaulted her, according to the probable cause document. The samples were uploaded to the national law enforcement database CODIS, but no match was found, prosecutors.Until the suspect -- 60-year-old Gregory Paul Vien, a longtime Livermore resident -- was identified this year through the novel investigative tool of genetic genealogy, Alameda County District Attorney's Office said in a statement on Monday.
Genetic genealogy has been called a"game-changer" in the effort to crack cold cases. Since the arrest of the suspected"Golden State Killer" in April 2018, about 100 suspects have been identified through the technology, according to genealogy expert CeCe Moore. Just last week, the suspected Potomac River Rapist, who"terrorized" women in the Washington, D.C., area in the 1990s, was caught with genetic genealogy.
