About this episode
Episode 157 Doe ID: Darylnn Washington
In 2006, a Jane Doe was found in a vacant home on the east side of Detroit. Police efforts to identify her were in vain, but the name of her killer soon emerged as a slew of murdered women were all linked to one man – Shelly Andre Brooks. Brooks confessed to murdering Jane Doe, but what can be done when the killer never knew his victim's name? The answer is – investigative genetic genealogy. An IGG analysis pointed to a close family member of Jane Doe, and testing confirmed her name as Darylnn Washington.
