Showing results for "DNA" in True Crime

We all hear stories almost daily now about cold cases being solved by investigative genetic genealogy. 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 unique, and has its own story behind the headline. Join us for DNA: ID. New episodes will come out every other week on Mondays.

The bones were buried, and six years later, a relative of Patterson's - one of the men she was last seen alive with - confessed to killing her. Case closed.

Kvällen den 4 februari 2011 blev en ung man bortförd av tre gärningsmän i en bil. Han misshandlades på en öde plats i Kristianstad och tvingades ringa ett telefonsamtal för att lura sin kompis till ett möte. Därefter lämnade två av gärningsmännen platsen medan den tredje stannade kvar och vaktade den misshandlade mannen.
