Springfield Clinic continues the legacy of the Home for the Friendless
The remains of a teenager who went missing nearly 50 years ago have been identified through advanced DNA technology. She may have been killed by a serial killer.
Genetic genealogy was used to identify skeletal remains as those of a 15-year-old girl who went missing in Florida in 1972. The authorities believe she was the victim of an ex-police officer convicted in 1973 of two murders.
Susan Poole, 15, was a high school dropout whose family reported her missing just before Christmas in 1972. A year and a half later, skeletal remains were found in Palm Beach.
Susan Poole was reported missing in 1972. Her remains were discovered "tied up in the mangroves with wire to a tree" in a remote area in June 1974, officials said.
