A jury has convicted a man charged with raping and killing a woman 36 years ago on Minnesota’s Iron Range in a case that was revived by genealogy database analysts.
Fifty-four-year-old Michael Allan Carbo Jr., of Chisholm, was charged with first-degree murder while committing criminal sexual conduct in the 1986 slaying of 38-year-old Nancy Daugherty, also of Chisholm.
Daugherty was found dead in her home by police conducting a welfare check.
Investigators over the years interviewed and collected DNA from more than 100 people but were unable to find a solid lead.
Carbo was identified as a potential suspect in 2020 after a search of public genealogy databases.
Investigators obtained a DNA sample from Carbo and it matched.
