Suspect is arrested 45 YEARS after the murder of a 21-year-old woman using genealogy website

A 74-year-old man has been arrested for a murder committed 45 years ago after his DNA was submitted to a public genealogical website.

John Arthur Getreu, from Hayward in Alameda County, was brought in on suspicion of killing of 21-year-old Leslie Perlov in Palo Alto on Tuesday.

Perlov, who was 21 when she died, was last seen at her place of work as a law clerk at around 3pm on February 13 1973.

The victim's orange Chevy Nova was discovered the day she died abandoned at the entrance of an old quarry near Stanford University's campus, where she had recently graduated from.

Three days later her body was discovered by officers under a tree at the side of a mountain west of Stanford.

Perlov's death was ruled a homicide following an autopsy, due to the fact she had been strangled and left with a pair of tights stuffed into her mouth.

  1. Some see gathering a DNA sample from everyone as a violation of their rights. Let's see what the future brings.

  2. The future is here now.

    You think they want you to find out if you are 17% Scandinavian? Or if you're related to the King of France??
    LOL.
    You people ARE that stupid. You sign on to facebook and then send DNA, too?
    You're done.
    Keep cheering.

  3. If you didn't do the crime you have nothing to fear, if you were blamed and are innocent it's a great tool to prove it.

  5. This will eventually go to the Supreme court,and when it does it better be upheld,because every guilty person ever identified by a voluntary geneology site will be released.These sites are the best thing to come along in years,but they come with a guaranteed of privacy that has not been honored.
