For more than six decades, the case of a double murder of two teenagers in Great Falls, Mont., has been cold. Now, with the help of DNA evidence, the case has been solved.
In 1956, Patricia Kalitzke, 16, and her boyfriend Lloyd Duane Bogle, 18 were both fatally shot in the head close to Bogle's car near a secluded spot where teenagers would often go to spend alone time.
'It was such a big case,' said Cascade County Sheriff's Office lead investigators Sgt. Jon Kadner to CNN. 'Two popular kids who were essentially gunned down in a Lover's Lane situation.
Using DNA gathered from Kalitzke's autopsy, investigators were able to create a profile of the suspect.
'They build a family tree backward and then forward to develop [a link to] Kenneth Gould,' Kadner said.
Unfortunately for police, Gould had died in 2007 and was cremated, so they were unable to collect DNA samples from his body.
After tracking down to of Gould's children who gave DNA samples of their own, they found a match and concluded that Gould and Kalitzke lived near each other.
Kadner praised investigators for not letting up on the over 60-year-old case.
'They poured their hearts and souls into that case, and it just made you realize how hard investigators had worked,' Kander said. 'The same thing happens to you, essentially.'
Police are still working on figuring out a motive in the case.
Clippings from the Great Falls Tribune that are displayed on Tuesday, June 8, 2021, in Great Falls, Mont., were part of the Cascade County Sheriff's Office investigative file into the 1956 murders of Patricia Kalitzke, 16, and Duane Bogle, 18.
