Mesquite police are crediting DNA evidence and the determination of its lead investigator with the recent arrest of a man they say beat and raped a disabled woman in 2014.
This is the first time this type of genealogy testing has led to an arrest for the Mesquite Police Department, and it hopes it might lead to charges in other unsolved cases.For nearly 10 years, Mesquite police detective Brandon Snyder was chasing a case he desperately wanted to solve."I felt like we were just running on a treadmill. Like, we were making moves, we were staying active, and we weren’t making any progress," said Snyder.In 2014, a disabled woman was raped and beaten.
If you want to cooperate with law enforcement, if you just want to help — if you find yourself as a true crime aficionado, and you think that might help," said Snyder.The DNA from the rape kit was submitted."We found a distant relative to our suspect about two years ago, shortly before carrying this case over to the FBI," Snyder said.In April, investigators identified Jorge Post as someone in the gene category, who at the time of the rape, lived a block away from the crime scene.
