WISCONSIN 1987 Cold Case Solved After 37 Years — The Real Killer Was Already in His Grave

In 1987, Sandra Lison — a 25-year-old bartender in Green Bay, Wisconsin — was sexually assaulted and murdered. Her body was found deep in the Machickanee Forest. DNA was collected from the crime scene. It excluded every suspect investigators had. Thirteen years later, two brothers were convicted anyway — based on a jailhouse informant's story. No murder weapon. No eyewitnesses. Just a lie. They served 24 years in prison. The real killer died in 2000. Free. In 2024, researchers at Ramapo College uploaded a 37-year-old DNA profile to GEDmatch. They built family trees from strangers' ancestry results. They narrowed it to three brothers in Green Bay. One was already buried in a local cemetery. They dug him up. The DNA match: 1 in 329 trillion. On September 26, 2024 — Robert and David Bintz walked out of prison after 24 years for a crime they never committed. This is their story. And Sandra Lison's. ───────────────────────── ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:58 Who Was Sandra Lison 00:04:49 The Night It Happened — August 2, 1987 00:08:07 The Jailhouse Informant 00:11:49 24 Years Behind Bars 00:15:29 The Science That Changed Everything 00:19:01 Ramapo College & The IGG Center 00:20:55 William Hendricks 00:23:15 They Dug Him Up 00:24:50 The Exoneration — September 26, 2024 00:26:57 What Justice Really Looks Like 00:29:20 Sandra Lison — The Woman Behind The Case 00:31:25 The Technology Solving Cold Cases 00:33:27 Final Verdict ───────────────────────── 📩 Business inquiries: [email protected] #ColdCase #TrueCrime #WrongfulConviction
