Liborio Canales, 86, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the 1986 killing of Barbara Fay Carr Villarreal. He wasCanales’ murder conviction is the first case in Dallas County to be adjudicated using novel investigative genetic genealogy, Dallas County prosecutor Leighton D’Antoni told. The tech analyzes tens of thousands to millions of DNA markers and compares it against genetic genealogy databases for people who share matching or very similar DNA patterns to create a suspect’s family tree.
Her husband, Canales’ brother, was arrested at the time. Domingo Dias Villarreal, as he was known, asked a neighbor to call police because “there was something wrong with his wife,” the 1986 article says. Police later cleared him of wrongdoing, but D’Antoni believes he was also involved in her death. He was killed in 1988, according to D’Antoni, and detectives later learned his true name was Jesus Canales.
“This was a difficult case as you saw in the courtroom,” Canales’ attorney, Alexandria Cazares-Perez, said. Cazares-Perez remarked how DNA and new technologies are changing how crimes are prosecuted.
