marking the latest example of a cold case cleared through DNA testing and genealogyTerre Haute Police Chief Shawn Keen identified Jeffrey Lynn Hand as the possible killer of Pamela Milam, 19.
“It’s been a long 46 years, seven months and 20 days,” Milam’s sister, Charlene Sanford, said during a news conference Monday. “Many of us, as we got older, thought we would die before we ever learned who killed our sister.”Pamela MilamMilam was last seen on the night of Sept. 15, 1972, leaving a sorority event at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, southwest of Indianapolis, Keen said. Her body was found bound and gagged in the trunk of her car the next night.
