Genealogy technology identifies killer of Michigan woman missing for 33 years

Stacey Lyn Chahorski of Norton Shores, Michigan, was reported missing in January 1989. But it wasn't until earlier this year that authorities confirmed through a new type of genealogy investigation that a body found in Georgia's Dade County in December 1988 belonged to Chahorski. Now, that same technology has been used to identify her killer as Henry Fredrick "Hoss" Wise, officials with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced Tuesday.

Wise also worked as a truck driver for Western Carolina Trucking, traveling through Dade County on his regular route. He had a criminal history in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina that included theft, assault and obstruction of a police officer, but all of which predated mandatory DNA testing for felony arrests.

Orwell’s telescreens everywhere won’t be needed. We already carry them in our pockets.

He burned to death in a race car accident. He may still be burning after his death, but this side of heaven we don’t know that for certain.

For some time now I’ve been saying that reliable genetic testing, though it has been famously used to date to correct injustices, will in the end help renew support for the death penalty because convictions will seem all the more certain to be correct.

If you own a modern car, yes.

Most folks are somewhere near their vehicle.

"Big Brother" can learn a lot if they want.

Many jurisdictions are taking DNA samples from convicts. That will help a lot.

“Yep most of us do but this is an advancement in

If someone is a professional criminal or a foreign agent, then carrying a phone is idiotic. I man I worked with was murdered in his home. When he failed to show up at work someone contacted his brother who found the body. The police asked the cell company to identify anyone in the home from x date to y date and they had the culprits in custody within hours. That was about ten years ago.

Since it is almost impossible to live a modern lifestyle without a phone people who are criminals or spies will either buy “drop” phones or keep their phone turned off except when they use them. And they won’t use them anywhere near the site of their criminal activity. But eventually, even that will allow them to be found as that will be suspicious activity that will garner them additional attention.

No doubt some uncaught murderers are sweating it out waiting for that knock on the door.

Yes, the lack of “use” in certain times and in certain areas will have meaning!

That’s not why they oppose the death penalty. It is a pretextual argument that fulfills unfortunate legal principles in death penalty review cases.

I realize that.

But among those who have not yet been convinced by the arguments which have been advanced under cover of reversal of convictions, eventually the use of genetic testing will, as have all advances in forensics over time, help to restore faith in convictions and punishments.

Wise was also a stunt driver who burned to death in a car accident at Myrtle Beach Speedway in South Carolina in 1999.

He had a lengthy criminal record that spanned across multiple states, including Florida, Georgia and North Carolina, for theft, assault and obstruction of a police officer, investigators said, but his arrests predated mandatory DNA testing after felony arrest.
