Forensic genealogist Colleen Fitzpatrick talks on the phone in Huntington Beach, Calif., Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2012. Detectives are hoping a murderer's biological link to the nation's colonial past will help identify him in the 1991 killing of a Washington teenager. The analysis on a DNA profile from the suspect shows that he is distantly related to three passengers who arrived in what is now Plymouth, Mass., on the Mayflower in 1620. Fitzpatrick who did the analysis believes there's a decent chance that the killer shares their last name, Fuller.
