In 2007, he pleaded guilty to"killing an unknown female subject along a dirt turnout on Highway 152," per Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. The victim hadn't been identified until this year. "When we first looked at it we thought, 'it's going to be too hard to solve this one, we might not be able to make it happen.' But then thanks to the partnership of that law enforcement agency , they were so helpful and encouraging people to upload to GEDmatch, and that helped us get one step closer and once step closer until we finally found the candidate," said Cairenn Binder, forensic genealogist with the DNA Doe Project.
