The first public arrest through genetic genealogy was the April 2018 identification of the suspected "Golden State Killer." Since then, genetic genealogy has helped identify more than three dozen suspects in violent crimes, with one of those being the murder of Pamela Cahanes. In August of 1984, Orlando Navy recruit 25-year-old Pamela Cahanes was found beaten and strangled to death in Sanford, Florida. Almost 40 years later DNA and genetic genealogy would link Thomas Lewis Garner, a former naval classmate of Pamela’s, to her 1984 murder. Garner was arrested and convicted of Pamela’s murder. However, tis would not be his only killing. In 2021 he was linked to the death of 25-year-old Kathy Hicks who was murdered in September of 1982. So, could Thomas Lewis Garner be responsible for other unsolved murders.
