Summary

Episode 92 Pam Cahanes and Kathy Hicks Part 1 of 3

Season 4 of DNA: ID kicks off with a massive 3 part episode; In 1982, young Naval recruit Pam Cahanes had finally finished boot camp and graduated with her apprentice airman class. A weekend Liberty Pass allowed Pam to leave the Naval Training Center Orlando base for the first time in months. But Pam didn’t live to enjoy her newfound freedom. She was found strangled in her underwear, in the yard of a vacant house, shopping bags of personal items and her clothing strewn around her. Despite an extensive investigation, DNA evidence, and a prime suspect, her case went cold. This case was one of the first in Florida to use Forensic Genealogy to identify a suspect, someone never named in the case file. And when that person’s DNA was entered into CODIS, the investigators learned that he WAS named in the case file – in a murder case in Hawaii two years before Pam’s.
