After touring Othram, a forensic DNA sequencing laboratory, Jeanne Ayotte was inspired to contribute $7,000 toward identifying a man who’d gone missing in 1983.
“This is something that burns a hole in my head,” Mittelman told HuffPost. “I think that there’s a kind of a blast radius of damage that happens when a crime like this is unresolved. It’s obviously the victim and their family and their friends, but the society at large, [including] the traumatized investigators that arrive at the scene … these people get kind of frozen in time and stuck with this case, and they can’t let it go and they pass it on to the next generation of detectives.
Ayotte said a frightening experience she had years ago made her mindful of just how easily families can lose someone. One night, she hitched a ride with a stranger who kept driving past her destination and refused to stop when she asked him to — and she realized there was no door handle on her side of his truck. He eventually turned around and dropped her off, but what could have happened has always stuck with her.
