Police-style handcuffs on Texas murder victim made investigators fear the killer was among them

OMG, I'm still reeling from this insane true crime story . A 30-year-old cold case gets solved thanks to some old police-grade handcuffs and genetic genealogy? Mind blown! The whole investigation process is so fascinating, from the initial DNA match to the chilling twist of Foreman's past connections to Edwards. And that symbolism with the handcuffs being used to confront him in court? Justice has finally been served for Mary Catherine Edwards' family

OMG, I'm still trying to process this one ... 30 years is an eternity! I mean, can you even imagine if your sister's killer was living right under your nose the whole time? And the fact that he had a fake police backstory and kept handcuffs for "protection"?? That's just chilling. Genetic genealogy is like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it's so real and it's changing the game when it comes to solving crimes.

I'm glad justice was served, though. It's a reminder that even after all these years, we can still find answers and bring closure to families who thought they'd never get any. The way the investigators used those original handcuffs to create a composite family tree? Genius! I just wish I had more info on Clayton Foreman's life before he ended up in prison... what was his motive for that heinous crime?

"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind."

This case is just another example of how technology can help solve crimes that were thought to be unsolvable. The use of DNA and genetic genealogy in this case was nothing short of incredible. It's amazing how much information could have been missed without these tools.

It's also a reminder that justice may take time, but it will always be served eventually. And in cases like this one, it's often the ones who are closest to us who become our most unlikely suspects.

I think it's also worth noting that while Foreman was ultimately caught and convicted, he never actually admitted to the crime. It's a reminder that sometimes justice may not come with closure or a sense of satisfaction for those affected by the crime.
