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 un... more

Love the concept but there is way too much irrelevant detail included and it makes it boring and hard to follow. A lengthy aside about a suspects backstory - who didn’t even end up being the killer - is unnecessary and confusing. I find myself losing interest halfway through every episode.
This podcast is the upper echelon of podcasts. Please record more!
An in-depth, compassionate,
and technically brilliant treatment of horrific crimes that went stone cold. As years pass, and as hope inevitably dims for answers, the cases solved with genetic genealogy. And the outcomes are almost always unpredictable and surprising!
I absolutely love the research and presentation of the cases. The host does a fantastic job and I love when she works in a little witty sarcastic comment.
The host does an amazing job with putting together each story and the way it’s delivered is perfect! Nothing better than those who thought they got away with their crimes years or even decades later finally being brought to justice. Can’t wait for that day to come for Joann Bontjes! SMH it’ll be 51 years this October. This show brings renewed hope to resolve tho so thank you for all you do for each of the victims and families

Episodes typically recount how investigations evolved from traditional forensics to modern DNA-based breakthroughs, highlighting the tension between the mystery of a crime and the painstaking work of law enforcement, families, and volunteers. A standout trait is the blend of rigorous scientific explanation with compassionate storytelling, often featuring investigators, forensic experts, and relatives who gain closure.
