DNA results of items taken from the victim’s house that were compared to samples from Gerold’s recovered body parts are a match, police said.

Those charged were Taray Herring, 47, and Jeanette Pace, 42.

Back on Feb. 11, officers in the 7th Police District responded to a burglary involving a U-Haul truck. They saw the truck traveling south on Kelvin Avenue. Upon investigation, they found a human torso inside the U-Haul. Trash bags with human remains were recovered from nearby Dumpsters. ••
