Lou Griffin of Racine, Wisconsin, was sentenced to ten years in prison for the 1986 killing of Lisa Holstead.

Griffin was identified as a suspect in Holstead’s slaying after Green Bay police sent DNA evidence found on her body to a company that performs forensic genetic genealogy testing. That testing provided information on the suspect’s heritage and possible relatives.
