Genetic Genealogy, 1986 Cold Case Resolution

Police used genetic genealogy to identify a suspect in the 1986 rape and murder of a woman named Michelle. By matching DNA found at the crime scene with samples from genealogy databases, investigators were able to pin the crime on a suspect named Hartman after 30 years. The segment warns that criminals who leave DNA at scenes can now be tracked through their relatives' data.
