Second Suspect Identified in 1970 Maryland Teen's Murder Case

Using forensic genetic genealogy, authorities name a second suspect in the cold case of Pamela Lynn Conyers, as the search for answers continues.

Investigators have identified a second suspect, Donald Willard, in the 1970 murder of Maryland teen Pamela Lynn Conyers using forensic genetic genealogy and traditional investigative methods.
The first suspect, Forrest Clyde Williams III, was identified last year through DNA evidence.
Both suspects, Willard and Williams, have died and were never charged for the murder of Conyers.
The murder of Pamela Lynn Conyers remains unsolved, and authorities are seeking public assistance to fill in missing information and determine if the suspects were involved in other crimes.
Investigators used publicly accessible databases and conducted interviews with potential relatives of the suspects to identify them.
