number one Lindy Sue beakler
on December 5th 1975 Lindy Sue was discovered stabbed to death in her Lancaster Pennsylvania
apartment her aunt and uncle discovered her body soon after the attack around 8 30 pm
there have been no sign of force entry and Lindy Sue had last been seen grocery
shopping at 6 30 PM leading detectives to believe that she'd been attacked
shortly after returning home her shopping bags were still on the dining room table
Lindy Sue was married and her husband Phil was quickly cleared as a suspect her autopsy revealed
she'd been stabbed 19 times with two different knives one was still embedded in her neck and had
come from within the home the other wasn't found at the crime scene it was a horrific scene and had
been a violent death Lindy had several defensive wounds on her hands and arms but she fought
back at some point she'd been able to injure her attacker and blood evidence from an unknown male
was able to be preserved unfortunately despite an exhaustive investigation all suspects in the case
were able to be eliminated and eventually without anything new the case went cold
over the next four decades the case would be reopened and re-examined the DNA was retested
in 1997 against all the suspects in the original investigation but they were cleared the foreign
male DNA was uploaded to CODIS in 2000 and the FBI BAU reviewed the case and hypothesized that
the killer was a male who knew Lindy and committed the crime and fit of rage when the Golden State
killer was identified using genetic genealogy in 2018 the Lancaster District Attorney's Office
put forth Lindy Sue's Cold Case forward for consideration the genetic genealogy testing
was approved and began working with parabon Nano labs in 2019 parabon created a computer-generated
image of what the suspect might have looked like based on his DNA next they worked on a new method
of establishing a family tree for the suspect as far as the genetic genealogy because there were
no genealogically promising individual genetic matches to the suspect's DNA in this case for
those of you who are following genetic genealogy the matches were only 30 centimorgans and Below
which is incredibly distant for that reason I had to pursue a novel non-traditional strategy as a
possible alternate Avenue to identify potential Persons of Interest to the investigation this
approach relies on a survey of geographic and immigration patterns as well as Associated
surnames and it necessitated that the subject had deep roots in the local Lancaster Pennsylvania
community the mattress trees the people that were sharing DNA with this unknown suspect contained
many recent immigrant families from the province of catnazzaro and Calabria southern Italy and
historical sources revealed that the majority of the Italian immigrants in Lancaster were
from a small town named gasparina which is in that Province so this was consistent with the pattern
patterns that I observed in the match data and it was determined from my research that there were
approximately 2 300 residents of Italian ancestry living in the city of Lancaster at the time of the
crime local historical records from the early 20th century were thoroughly researched and surveyed
for residents of Lancaster who listed their birthplace as gasparina Italy from these records
a list of individuals and families local to Lancaster with roots and gasarina was compiled and
their surnames noted then I performed descendancy research from these families to identify their
male descendants who were of the appropriate age to the candidate to be a candidate to be
our suspect these individuals family trees were then built out in order to determine if they were
a full Italian ancestry and all of their ancestral lines originated in gas or nearby because that is
what the match data and the snapshot predictions were telling us this person needed to be a full
ancestry from that area now these restrictions further narrowed the scope of the subsequent
research because there were very few individuals living in Lancaster at the time of the crime that
were the right age gender and had a family tree consistent with these Origins so this allowed me
to prioritize the candidates whose dissent was determined to be exclusively from families with
Origins and gasparena and then each of those individuals was further investigated through
newspaper archives public people search databases social media court records and other resources
now after months of this type of research one individual was identified who I believed was an
especially selling candidate to possibly be the suspect at that point I turned that lead over to
investigators investigative genetic genealogy like this should be treated only as a lead generator a
tip it's a highly scientific tip but a tip just the same and so at that point then investigators
followed that tip and you see the outcome today they were able to identify a suspect who was
discovered to be living and had never moved from the Lancaster area 65-year-old davidsonapoli had
never been a suspect in the original investigation but detectives learned he lived in the same
building as the beaklers in 1975. cinepoli was placed under surveillance and was seen to have
discarded a to-go coffee cup which was collected and used to compare to the suspect's DNA it was
a confirmed match so Napoli was arrested at his home on December 11 2022 nearly 47 years to the
day of Lindy Sue's murder cinepoli didn't have a significant criminal history in 2004 he pleaded
guilty to invasion of privacy and disorderly conduct he had been working at a tanning salon
and admitted to spying on a woman tanning since then he's kept a very low profile life he married
in 74 divorced in 86 and was remarried a year later his three children was an avid Hunter
according to social media and frequently traveled to Italy he was charged with one count of criminal
homicide and is being held without bail while he waits further Court proceedings no word yet
on if he has any further court dates Wendy Sue beakler was on the minds of many throughout the
years certainly law enforcement has never forgotten about her and this arrest marks
the first step in obtaining Justice for Lindy Sue beakler and holding her killer responsible
number two Betty Rolfe
it was during a blizzard on November 6 1988 when Betty Rolfe decided to walk to work at
the Appleton County Air banquet room in Appleton Wisconsin it wasn't her normal routine to walk to
work but 60 year old Betty didn't like to drive in the snow and her son wasn't able to give her
a ride that morning shouldn't have taken her long it was only 10 blocks from her home but she never
arrived she was reported missing when her husband discovered she hadn't returned home from work and
was then that he learned she'd never arrived that day her body was found covered in gravel
and partially clouded under a railroad bridge two days later an autopsy showed she'd been
strangled to death sexually assaulted and beaten the murder case shocked the community Betty had
been well known to the area she was well liked no one could imagine anyone setting out to hurt her
that paired with differentiation between her normal routine and the snowstorm LED
law enforcement to believe it was a crime of opportunity DNA evidence was collected at the time
of the initial investigation but all that could be done was tested against the suspects they had
which eliminated all eventually the case went cold police found the body of an unidentified woman in
her early 60s in a ravine off Spencer Street at 11 o'clock this morning 34 years ago this is what
local five's coverage of the Cold Case looked like we have a female adult who was found in the 1600
block of West Spencer Street at about 11 o'clock this morning the cause of death at this time is
undetermined for 34 years Law Enforcement Officers unsuccessfully searched for Betty Roth's killer
in 2001 the DNA was input into CODIS the federal database and the state database but nothing came
up in 2019 the case was reopened in hopes of using genetic geology to find a suspect this
year they were able to narrow down the DNA to Two Brothers law enforcement approached one of the
brothers who cooperated with police but believed his brother to be deceased he supplied a DNA
sample which eliminated him as a suspect leading law enforcement to believe that 66-year-old Jean
C Meyer of Tacoma Washington was their suspect in the 80s Meyer lived within a mile of Betty
Rolfe and left Wisconsin shortly after her murder relocating to Washington law enforcement in both
States worked together to locate Meyer and he was put under surveillance law enforcement were able
to collect DNA sample from the handle of his truck once it was positively matched with the suspect's
DNA he was arrested he is currently being held and is awaiting extradition to Wisconsin
number three Evelyn Fisher bamforth foreign it was January 22nd 1980 in Miramar Florida when
Evelyn Fisher banforth opted to stay home for the evening the 32 year old nurse had hurt her knee
and decided it would be best to rest it so she could get back to work her husband John went out
for the evening the couple were newly married they had only just moved to Florida from the Cayman
Islands John worked in restaurants as a bartender and manager and was just settling into Miramar
Evelyn was from to lack British Columbia and was a shining star in her family the
first to become a nurse in her family and she was described as caring smart and a joy to be around
when John came home that evening he said that he saw a police tape on their front door advising no
one to enter he had no idea what was going on and entered anyway immediately he noticed something
was wrong Furniture had been strewn about and there was stuff everywhere when he went into
their bedroom he said that their bed was half soaked in blood Evelyn was nowhere to be seen
law enforcement hadn't notified him or stayed at the crime scene it would only be when he went to
the police department that he was notified that his wife had been murdered earlier that
evening he was given little details about what had happened and he was devastated by the news
a friend who discovered the murder when she forgot her keys and went over to Evelyn and John's house
she knew Evelyn was home that night and knew she was supposed to be in she knocked on the door
several times but there was no answer then she saw one of the panes of glass next to the door
had been broken and called the police when police entered they found Evelyn's body in the bedroom
she'd been brutally bludgeoned to death and she'd been sexually assaulted John had been at work and
his Alibi was quickly cleared months later they did have a strong suspect in the case when another
County's Police Department approached Miramar PD with a nearly identical murder the suspect in that
case was Ronald Eugene Richards the 32 year old was out on parole from murdering his girlfriend in
1975 in Ohio when law enforcement went to question Richards they discovered he lived only 12 Doors
Down from Evelyn and John the Miramar PD didn't have enough evidence to charge Richards but in
the other case the Volusia County PD had enough to charge and arrested him he was convicted in that
case in 1982 and served 38 years in prison before he was released in 2020. in 2022 Evelyn's case was
reopened and the evidence in the case was retested for DNA there they found a sample of foreign male
DNA and ran it through CODIS from there they were able to positively identify it to Ronald Eugene
Richards Richard was out on probation and was quickly arrested in Ohio he is now waiting to
be extradited back to Florida where he was charged with Evelyn's murder Miramar PD have also stated
that they believe Richards Was a Serial predator and are looking to see if any other cold cases are
connected to him John who now resides in the UK has expressed relief about the new development he
said that the murder of his wife had a devastating impact on his life leading to substance abuse To
None the guilt he felt which became an issue he struggled with for decades he told the media that
despite the relief of the arrest the news also brought up difficult memories he said quote but
for Evelyn Justice is the most important thing I would certainly want to see justice for Evelyn
and I'm I'm I don't I don't I don't believe in this closure thing
one never has closure no word yet on what is next for Richard he may opt to take a plea
agreement if offered in Florida the death penalty remains on the table at this time
