In 1983, the sexual assaults and murders of Susan Tice and Erin Gilmour went cold, with few leads in the case. DNA evidence was taken from both deceased victims, but at the time science wasn’t advanced enough to determine much more than a blood type from the sample. 

Recently, there has been a surge of cold cases being solved due to the popularity of ancestry sites, which collect and store the genetic material and profiles of people from all over the world. Using this available data, police and investigators have been able to solve a number of Cold Cases; and on November 28th, 2022, Toronto Police were able to announce that a Cold Case from 1983, the murders of Susan Tice and Erin Gilmour, have finally found and arrested their mystery murderer man - Joseph George Sutherland, 61-years of age.
