Cold Case Solved After Decades | Miami News

After 40 years, DNA and genetic genealogy finally cracked a cold case in Florida: David Allen Snyder, from Key West, was identified as the killer of sisters Maggie and Mary in 1973. Though he died in Idaho in 2008 without ever standing trial, investigators honored his victims’ memory by solving the case with painstaking science and compassion. The surviving sister, now in her 60s, described the breakthrough as deeply emotional — she never expected justice after so long, but she’s moved by how respectfully the team handled the news. She remembers her sisters’ vibrant spirits — Maggie’s boldness and Mary’s sweet voice — and carries their legacy forward through travel and life lived fully. Her message? Never give up, and never let tragedy define you. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
