Chester Alfred Breiney was 7 years old when his remains were found in a ditch. Her murderer had never been found until then. 65 years later, American investigators have finally solved the case surrounding his murder thanks to DNA tests.
In 1959, the bones of a small child were found in a ditch in Mequon, a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At the time, there was no clue as to who might have committed this crime, according to information in a statement from the Ozaukee County police posted on Facebook, who have been in charge of the case since 1959. In the statement, police order indicate having explored more than 200 avenues at the time, in vain. Unable to identify the bones, the investigators dropped the case.
A second parallel affair
At the same time, a few hours away, “Investigators learn that the Houghton County, Michigan Sheriff is investigating a possible missing child, Markku Jutila”, explains the press release.
It was during an interrogation with the couple who had reported the disappearance of their adopted son that the mother admitted to investigators that she had fled Houghton for Chicago and had disposed of Markku's body in Maquon after beating him to death. . The body found was never identified as that of Markku and the charges against the mother were therefore dropped for lack of evidence.
The investigation reopened
Finally, more than 60 years later, investigators reopened the case and increased DNA tests on the bones. Tests will reveal that matches exist between the bones found and those of the Breiney family, Markku's biological last name before his adoption. “Chester’s life ended traumatic because of his adoptive parents.”
65 years after the discovery of his death, little Chester, his first name at birth, will be buried this Friday while his mother who killed him, deceased, will never be judged.
