Press Release: (06/20/2023)

SALEM, IN.
On May 24th, 2012; the body of “Bill Lee Hull '' was found in his Salem, Indiana residence some hours after he died of natural causes. He had been living with his associate Bessie Fields and her family, whom he had met in 1987 in Tucson, Arizona. Fields died in 2009. Subsequent investigations of “Bill’s” background revealed that he was using an alias and someone else’s social security number. “Bill’s’' obituary published in the Salem Leader stated that he was born on March 15th, 1932; in Fort Collins, Colorado to “Robert and Edna Hull”. Despite this information, “Bill’s” identity could not be corroborated by authorities in Indiana, and thus remained a John Doe. At the time of his death, “Bill” stood approximately 5’3”, was estimated to be 75 to 85 years of age, had a tattoo on his left forearm in blue ink that read “PINKY,” and his fingerprints had been removed by unknown means, likely done by himself. “Bill” was subsequently buried in Crown Hill Cemetery in Salem, Indiana.
In March 2023, the remains were exhumed in hopes that genealogical testing conducted by Moxxy Forensic Investigations would uncover the man’s identity. Using the man’s femur, DNA was extracted and then computed into a DNA kit that was uploaded onto GEDMatch, a public DNA database. Once the DNA kit finished uploading, it took less than 30 minutes for the team of genealogists to identify a potential candidate.
Albert Edwin Roadhs, who went by the nickname “Pinky,” was born on March 15th, 1932 in Fort Collins, Colorado. Archived arrest and newspaper records showed that Roadhs had a criminal record beginning in childhood consisting of petty crime and felonies, before becoming involved with a gang known as the “Shotgun Bandits.” The Shotgun Bandits committed a series of stick-ups from October to November of 1955 in Denver, Colorado before being apprehended. At his trial, court investigators stated that Roadhs “will never adjust into a normal individual.” Roadhs was sentenced to 10 to 15 years for his crimes, and shortly after his release, was caught breaking into a warehouse with two other individuals in Longview, Washington on June 4th, 1966. He was sentenced again to 10 to 15 years in September 1967. His whereabouts between September 1967 and 1987 remains unknown.

Moxxy Forensic Investigations would like to thank the team at Lakehead University for the DNA extraction, Dr. Weining Tang of Genologue for the sequencing, and Kevin Lord of Saber Investigations for bioinformatics. Furthermore, we would like to thank Coroner Peggy Schell of Washington County, Indiana, the team of individuals present for the exhumation, Weathers Funeral Home, and both Roadhs’ biological and foster families for their cooperation and efforts to help identify him. Our thoughts are with both families at this time.

Anyone with information relating to Albert Edwin “Pinky” Roadhs or Bill Lee Hull’s case is advised to contact Kaycee Connelly at kaycee@moxxyforensics.com.

Wow! He must've had a super close match.

And remember to keep the family of not only Albert's but also Bessie's (who very much love and care about him) in your thoughts

Wow, that was so fast! I've been wondering about our Bill for some time. The tattoo was his nickname!

I guess he took another identity to escape his past. I wonder if he may have even committed a more serious crime that he was running from. They said he would 'never adjust to a normal individual' but I guess he proved them wrong, even though it wasn't until he was much older.
