This is my favorite podcast ever. Jessica does such an excellent job of explaining the case while also honoring the victims. I often compare other podcasts that have covered the same case , and it’s never as thorough, in my option, as DNA:ID.

Apple Podcasts5ProvRIUnited States2 months ago - My new favorite podcast
I’m so excited that I found DNA: ID! I’ve been reading/listening to true crime for years. Even on the best podcasts, I always find myself wishing they would give more detail, especially about the scientific stuff. I’m not a scientist, and Jessica explains everything perfectly for an interested layperson like me. Plus, I never get tired of hearing stories about criminals who thought they’d gotten away with it getting caught through IGG.
