Genetic Genealogy and law enforcement have formed a powerful partnership in recent years, revolutionizing the process of solving cold-case crimes. This collaboration harnesses the remarkable capabilities of DNA analysis and genealogical research to identify previously elusive suspects and bring closure to long-standing investigations. Genetic Genealogy, as a tool, works by analyzing DNA samples collected from crime scenes or victims and then leveraging publicly available genealogical databases to trace the genetic lineage of potential suspects. This process involves identifying relatives who share significant portions of their DNA with the unknown perpetrator, ultimately narrowing down the list of potential suspects to individuals who fit the genetic profile. Law enforcement can then use this information to focus their investigative efforts and, in many cases, identify the perpetrator through traditional investigative techniques.
