April 5, 2022, 6:36 PM UTCThe identity of a man dubbed the “I-65 killer” and the “Days Inn killer” after he targeted women who worked at hotels along the Midwest highway in the late 1980s was revealed on Tuesday.
It all started on Feb. 21, 1987, with the murder of Vicki Heath, who was working the night shift at the Super 8 hotel in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, when she was sexually assaulted and shot in the head, police said. She was the key lead in the case for police, providing a detailed description of the suspect and details of the crime.
In 2019, the FBI’s Gang Response Investigative Team was asked to help, bringing fresh eyes to the case. At the same time, technology had advanced, Fifield said, giving investigators new ways to approach the murders.One of the methods officials used was investigative genealogy — the use of DNA analysis, genealogy research and historical records to search for leads.
Fifield noted that Greenwell had escaped from jail on two occasions and was known to frequently travel in the Midwest.
