Woman's remains identified by DNA in Virginia, exposing second alleged murder linked to same 4 suspects

DNA analysis has identified the remains of Helen Marie Pullen Banks, 56, of Culpeper, months after they were discovered. This identification links her death to four suspects involved in a second alleged murder in Virginia. The process required extensive and complex DNA analysis to confirm the identity of Banks. Consequently, police have now connected these four specific suspects to two separate murder cases occurring within the state of Virginia through this forensic evidence.
