The video discusses the cold case of Maurice Ann Shiverella, a young girl who disappeared in 1964. Despite initial investigation efforts, the case remained unsolved for nearly 58 years. In 2018, DNA evidence was re-examined using modern genealogy techniques, leading to the identification of the perpetrator, James Paul Forte. Although Forte had died in 1980, the case's resolution provided closure to Maurice's family. The video highlights the power of DNA technology in solving cold cases and its potential future impact.
