Teen did what police failed to do to solve child’s murder.

“The police tied Mr. Forte to Marise’s case with the aid of DNA testing and research by a teenage genealogist who approached the police in 2020 and volunteered to help. ... Eric Schubert, the teenager, said he had helped in other cold cases and spotted Marise’s story while looking for something new to work on. Mr. Schubert, now 20 and a student studying history at Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, Pa., identified possible relatives using an earlier DNA match made in the case.”
