CURRENT CASE: LORRAINE BIEZE
On August 30, 1982, 21-year-old Lorraine Bieze disappeared while walking home from work in Mount Prospect, Illinois. Her body was discovered the following day in Pratt's Wayne Woods. More than four decades later, her murder remains unsolved.
IATA is conducting an independent investigation into Lorraine's murder using XigentIQ (XIQ) to organize decades of records, analyze evidence and investigative leads, and identify opportunities presented by today's forensic and investigative technologies.
Lorraine's case is not forgotten. The investigation continues.
