- Police and FBI have been searching for decades to solve the murders of four women. They appear to have had little in common except that the lives of these four women ended in the same place—a rural field in League City, Texas, halfway between Houston and Galveston. Two of the women found in the remote area off Interstate 45 were unidentified when their bodies were discovered in 1986 and 1991 so they were given the names, Jane and Janet Doe. At the time, this field in League City was a desolate location accessible only by dirt roads. The League City Police Department made numerous efforts to identify the two unknown victims. During 2018, detectives from LCPD had taken a different approach through the use of DNA Genealogy utilizing DNA profiles from Jane Doe and Janet Doe. Needing help to navigate this relatively new investigative technique, LCPD sought the assistance of local experts in the field of genealogy. In January 2019, Nick Cimino, President of the Texas Bay Area Genealogical Society, was contacted by an officer from LCPD asking for his help with genetic genealogy. Two police officers came to the Cimino residence and explained the case. Intrigued by the mystery, Nick volunteered to teach the detectives about genetic genealogy. He agreed to review the family trees that were being built and determine if they were trending in the right direction. Was the search for the identity of Jane and Janet Doe successful?
