- Summary:
- A report on the new tool ("genetic genealogy") combining high-tech DNA analysis with more traditional family genealogy methods that has been integral to solving crimes, especially cold-cases including the "Golden State Killer." Investigators on a whim submitted the suspect's DNA to a public database, a free open source website created and used by genealogy enthusiasts/hobbyists to find a family relation, which eventually led to his arrest. While more cold cases have been solved, the new method raises the issue of DNA ethics, reliability and lack of standards in a burgeoning field. Includes interviews with Paul Holes, cold case investigator; Curtis Rogers, CEO, GEDMatch; Cece Moore, genealogist, Parabon NanoLabs; Jim Scharf, cold case detective; Brian Martin, Fort Wayne homicide detective; Steve Armentrout, CEO, Parabon NanoLabs.
