Investigators have named a second suspect in connection to the murder of a Maryland high school student more than 50 years ago. Donald Willard was identified using forensic genetic genealogy and traditional investigative methods in the 1970 murder of 16-year-old Pamela Lynn Conyers, the Anne Arundel County Police Department announced in a statement Monday. The first suspect, Forrest Clyde Williams III, was identified last year using DNA evidence collected from Conyers' body and clothes.
On October 16, 1970, Conyers attended a bonfire at Glen Burnie High School before running an errand at Harundale Mall, the last place she was seen alive, according to police. Her body was found four days later a short distance from her abandoned vehicle in a wooded area of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. An autopsy ruled Conyers' cause of death as homicide by asphyxiation.
