A teenage girl's remains were identified more than 50 years after her murder using DNA from the mother of a woman killed on 9/11.

Authorities have finally identified the remains of a New York City teenager coined 'Midtown Jane Doe,' after her grisly murder spawned a decadeslong cold case investigation. A recent breakthrough owed to advanced forensics linked her DNA to the mother of a woman killed on 9/11.Jane Doe was identified as Patricia Kathleen McGlone, who was just 16 at the time of her death and had previously lived and attended school in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn.

They applied modern tests to the forensic evidence originally collected from the crime scene and DNA lifted from the victim's remains to eventually develop what Glas called 'a suitable genetic profile.' The profile was then linked to potential relatives using investigative genetic genealogy.
