We all hear stories almost daily now about cold cases being solved by investigative genetic genealogy. This new crime-solving tool answers the 'who' question about these often decades-old crimes... but what about the why? This podcast will look at crimes solved by genetic genealogy, and examine the connection - if any - between the victim and the killer, and why the crime occurred. Each case is unique, and has its own story behind the headline. Join us for DNA: ID. New episodes will come out every other week on Mondays.more Host Jessica Bettencourt
