DNA ID Replay; The case of Lee Rotatori

Episode 169 DNA ID Replay; The case of Lee Rotatori While Jess is on winter break preparing new episodes of DNA ID for 2026, we are airing some of our favorite one part episodes weekly in what we call 'DNA ID Replay' episodes. These Replay episodes will air every week while on break with the exception of Christmas week. In this replay episode, we explore the case of Lee Rotatori which originally aired in episode 70. In June 1982, Lee Rotatori was excited for the new job that meant a move to Council Bluffs, Iowa. But when Lee was found murdered in the Best Western there, police were stumped. The only clue was floral foam on the floor, and there were no suspects. Lee knew only a few people in town, and her husband was over 600 miles away when she was raped and stabbed in Room 106. Her case went cold. When forensic genealogy pointed to a man named Thomas Freeman as her killer, it just added to the mystery. Freeman had been murdered within weeks of Lee, and his killer was unknown. And, he had no connection whatsoever to Council Bluffs, or Lee. But he did have a connection to Carbondale, IL, where he lived 15 miles from Lee's husband Jerry Nemke – who had a history of his own.

Robert Gautsche

Episode 116 Robert Gautsche Robert Gautsche was a family man and successful corporate manager who had a lot going for him, but the pressures of his job caused him to spiral. He fell into addiction which cost him his career, marriage, and health. He was diagnosed with Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome (WKS); a debilitating disease that greatly affected his memory, and his prognosis was not good. Robert's brother Brad, who was Robert's power of attorney, placed Robert into the care of an assisted living facility in Castle Rock, CO with the understanding that his brother would be safe and could not slip away. But on February 4th, 2021, Robert managed to flee from the facility. Searches were quickly conducted, but there was no sign of 58 year old Robert who has walked away with just the clothes on his back. There were possible sightings of Robert, but none of them led to him being found, and he remains missing today. In this episode, we are joined by Robert's brother Brad who discusses the frustration and long lasting effects he has suffered after not being able to find his brother. We are also joined by Detective Kristen Tinsley of the Douglas County Sheriff's dept who discusses the investigation into Robert's disappearance. Robert Gautsche is believed to have been last seen walking in the area of 5900 Promenade Parkway in Castle Rock. He was wearing a brown leather jacket, black jeans and light-colored slipper-style shoes. Robert is a White male standing 6ft tall, and weighing 160 pounds. He has Brown hair and eyes.

DNA ID Replay; The case of Kathleen O'Brien Doyle and Aundria Bowman

Episode 168 DNA ID Replay; The case of Kathleen O'Brien Doyle and Aundria Bowman. While Jess is on winter break preparing new episodes of DNA ID for 2026, we are airing some of our favorite one part episodes weekly in what we call 'DNA ID Replay' episodes. These Replay episodes will air every week while on break with the exception of Christmas week. In this replay episode, we explore the case of Kathleen O'Brien Doyle and Aundria Bowman which originally aired in episode 29. In 1980, Kathleen O'Brien Doyle was a young navy wife living alone in Norfolk, Virginia while her husband was stationed on an aircraft carrier. One night as she was getting ready for bed, an attacker entered her home through a window and raped, stabbed and strangled Kathleen. Her case quickly went cold. When Norfolk police and NCIS decided to employ forensic genealogy to find answers in her case, what they discovered also gave them answers to a decades-old missing persons case in Michigan. Kathleen O'Brien Doyle's murderer in Virginia and Aundria Bowman's murderer in Michigan were one and the same. And he was still around to answer for his crimes.

Jason Landry

Episode 115 Jason Landry On December 12, 2020, Twenty one year old college student Jason Landry embarked on a 165 mile road trip from San Marcos, Texas to see his family for the holidays in Missouri City, Texas. He would never make it home. His crashed car was discovered just after midnight in Luling, Texas; an oil and ranching community that Jason was not familiar with. There was no sign of Jason. The accident seemed to be a single car accident that left Jason's car backed into a ditch. Several items of Jason's were discarded, including what appeared to be the clothes he was wearing. Even his pet fish who Jason had taken care to put into a water and take with him, was left behind on the cold night. Jason's father Kent arrived on the scene to try and figure out what had happened to his son, and he was disappointed and upset to find that no real search or investigation of what happened to Jason was happening. Soon, extensive searches would be launched, but no sign of Jason was ever found, and five years later, Jason's family is praying for answers. In this episode, Kent Landry discusses his son's puzzling case, and the massive effort that he and many other have put forward to try and find Jason. Jason Landry is described as White, standing 6ft1, and weighing about 170 pounds. He has Brown hair and eyes. There is a $20,000 reward being offered in this case. If you have information, please call the TX Attorney General at 512-936-0742, or call anonymously at 726-777-1359.

Opal Weil Part 1 of 2

Episode 166 Opal Weil Part 1 of 2 In January 1987, 82 year old Opal Weil was slain in her St. Petersburg, FL home. The crime scene reflected a burglary, with Opal's wedding ring pulled off her finger. Within a week, it happened again. Octogenarian Eleanor Swift's home, just 6 miles from Opal's, was burgled, she was killed, and her wedding ring taken. A third victim in the same month survived, but remembered nothing. The cases, quickly connected in the eyes of the investigators, went cold, despite a large number of suspects being considered. Hairs found at Opal's crime scene, distinct from her own, would prove to be the key to an IGG analysis, and a suspect was finally identified and arrested for her murder in 2023. But that is not the end of the story.

The Denver Four Part 1 of 2

Episode 164 The Denver Four Part 1 of 2 Four women were murdered in the Denver, CO area, three in 1980 and one in 1978, in crimes that remained unsolved – and unconnected – for decades. The victims had nothing in common, the circumstances varied widely. But modern DNA testing technology provided investigators with some very surprising information – and IGG tied it all together. They were looking for one man for all four murders – and those were not the sum total of his heinous crimes. Today's episode is about one of the more depraved killers identified by IGG, one you've likely never heard of.

Robin Lawrence

Episode 160 Robin Lawrence In this shocking and heart-wrenching 1994 case, a young Northern Virginia mother is killed in her own in a vicious crime that shocked even seasoned members of law enforcement. Not only was the brutality breathtaking, but Robin's 2 year old daughter was left with her mother's corpse for two whole days. This case confounded Fairfax County police, because Robin had no enemies, yet the crime of passion clearly targeted her. A prime suspect emerged whom police were convinced did it, only to be disappointed by DNA results. It's not an overstatement to say that were it not for IGG, the murder of Robin Lawrence would never have been solved. Because the identity of the killer, and his reasons for slaying Robin, were simply impossible to believe.
