Genealogy Meets Science

We continue to explore the new DNA and forensic genealogy technics that are being used to solve cold cases. We're laying the groundwork, giving you all of the information you need ahead of the cases we'll be covering this season.

In this episode, we talk to Colleen Fitzpatrick who has an extensive resume in using DNA and forensic genealogy to help give police names to aid in their investigation.

We also talk to Steve Armentrout, the CEO of Parabon Nanolabs, whose company has been instrumental in many of the recent cases that have been solved using DNA and forensic genealogy.
