Cortez Sabino Lake, a 76-year-old man from South Carolina, was arrested for the 1987 murder of Margit Schuller, a 34-year-old mother from Hungary. Schuller was shot in her apartment complex’s laundry room, and her daughter discovered her body. Investigators used DNA evidence and genetic genealogy to link Lake to the crime, as he lived nearby at the time. The case remained unsolved for over three decades until this recent breakthrough.
