LAKEWOOD, Wis. (AP) — Word of the arrest — via a friend's text message — hit Wayne Sankey like a thunderbolt.
1 / 4In this March 14, 2019 booking photo provided by the Marinette County Sheriff's Office is Raymand Vannieuwenhoven. Prosecutors said they used DNA and genetic genealogy to connect Vannieuwenhoven to the killings 43 years ago of a young couple David Schuldes and Ellen Matheys.
Now authorities were saying he was a killer. They had used genetic genealogy to crack a cold case that stretched back well into the 20th century — a double murder 25 miles southwest of Lakewood.It was just too much to be believed. Was the guy next door really a monster?David Schuldes and Ellen Matheys, engaged to be married, set up their campsite at a secluded spot in McClintock Park on Friday afternoon, July 9, 1976.Two shots from a .30-caliber rifle shattered the quiet.
Then last year, detectives contacted Virginia-based Parabon NanoLabs, a DNA technology company whose work with genetic genealogy analysis has helped police identify 55 suspects in cold cases nationwide since May 2018, according to the company. Parabon uploads DNA from crime scenes to GEDmatch, a free, public genealogy database with about 1.2 million profiles, all voluntarily submitted by people who've used consumer genealogy sites.
Detectives didn't need to visit the fourth brother. Eight days later, Vannieuwenhoven was in custody."Not guilty, not guilty, not guilty," Vannieuwenhoven said, when the judge asked him if he understood the charges. His next court date is June 19. Richard Leurquin, twin brother of Vannieuwenhoven's dead wife, Rita, said his brother-in-law was"a very loving father to his wife and kids." He's convinced Vannieuwenhoven is innocent.
