DNA and modern techniques using databases solved a 40-year-old murder case in Arapahoe County. Former Denver District Attorney, Mitch Morrissey, a nationally recognized expert in DNA with his company, United Data Connect, helped the Cherry Hills Village police to solve a 1981 murder of Sylvia Quayle. The DNA identified suspect David Anderson of Cozad, Nebraska, who has a long arrest and incarceration record during the 1980s. But, it was the DNA identification that led to the February 10, 2021 arrest.
Morrissey was the Denver DA from 2004 until 2017 and organized United Data Connect to use DNA techniques to assist local police solve cold cases. The firm has had several major successes, including recently solving of an even older case – a 1963 murder in Jefferson County.
