(CNN) — Más de 52 años después de que Pamela Lynn Conyers, de 16 años, fuera estrangulada hasta la muerte en el centro de Maryland, las autoridades dicen que han identificado a un sospechoso en su asesinato con la ayuda de la genealogía genética.El sospechoso, a quien la policía identificó como Forrest Clyde Williams III, habría tenido 21 años en el momento de los asesinatos. Murió en Virginia, de donde era originario, en 2018 por “causas naturales”, dijo el teniente de la policía del condado de Anne Arundel, Jackie Davis, en una conferencia de prensa este viernes.Si Williams estuviera vivo hoy, habría sido acusado del asesinato, dijo la policía.
