Here is a brief quote from a new article by Julie Watts and published on Sacramento’s CBS13 web site:
“It’s estimated that more than 150 violent cold case suspects have been identified using genetic genealogy since the arrest of the Golden State Killer.
“The technology wasn’t new, but the Sacramento case opened the door for genealogy crime-fighting nationwide.”
The article then goes on to provide various details as well as some quotes from Parabon’s Chief Genetic Genealogist, Cece Moore. You can read more at: https://cbsloc.al/31u4w16.
BTW. I really do like CeCe Moore's new show on ABC The Genetic Detective Tuesday nights at 10 PM EDT. It is well done and shows the power of DNA in all forms of genealogy research. If you haven't tested your DNA and those of your relatives, you are really missing the boat.
