Loyola students used AI, genealogy, and fingerprint analysis to solve Howard County's oldest cold case, identifying Sadie Belle Murray after 54 years, police confirmed.
- Long ago, Loyola University of Maryland forensic science students helped Howard County Police Department identify a 1971 Jane Doe as Sadie Belle Murray, born September 7, 1924, in Pennsylvania.
- Using genealogy and AI tools, the team combined genealogy research with AI-assisted image renderings and consulted the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System for artist images, while reevaluating decades-old fingerprints over 50 years old.
- Other students Julia Viveiros, Loyola student , and Gabriel Flores, Loyola student , contributed to fingerprint analysis and genealogy research.
- The identification closed Howard County's oldest cold-case homicide, ending a 54-year mystery and reconnecting two surviving children of the victim with knowledge of their mother.
