Based on the recent story of the capture of the Golden
State killer, DNA searches have become more fascinating to us as crime fighting
and mystery solving tool. In 2002 a 76-year-old (which is not up for debate)
Cleveland resident made a rash and mysterious decision one hot summer day. “Joseph Newton Chandler III locked the doors and windows
in his apartment outside Cleveland. He turned off the air conditioning and
marked the date on his calendar. Then he went into his bathroom and took his
own life.” After discovering that his identity was faked, and he had posed as a
deceased 8-year-old, the plot thickened. After some detective work, DNA samples
provided by the imposter lead to his true identity through a commercial
database. The true mystery lies with why he wanted to hide his identity for the
last half of his life? Only time may tell if we may have found another
notorious killer or just a disturbed old man who just wished to be left alone
