Randy Gail Sperino was killed in Granite City, Illinois, in 1993. For three decades, the case stayed open. Detectives at the Madison County Sheriff's Office gave it a fresh start, using Centerline AI® from CentralSquare® to review more than 2,000 pages of records. They built timelines, organized witness information, and pinpointed the evidence to send for DNA testing. Investigative genetic genealogy took it from there, and a suspect was charged in May.
Captain Tim Lawrence of the Sheriff's Office told the BBC the technology is only as good as the investigator. His detectives did the work. Centerline AI® cleared the path.
