Solving Cold Cases Using Investigative Genetic Genealogy

Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG) offers an exciting new opportunity to help Law Enforcement give names back to unidentified human remains and help solve criminal cases.

Since the first high-profile case was solved in 2018, well over a thousand cases have been cracked using IGG. Canada has its own share of successful case solves and there is much discussion, controversy, and questions around this new way of generating leads in cold cases.

In this talk, Marie Palmer, a Canadian Accredited Investigative Genetic Genealogist with numerous case solves, will give an overview of IGG and walk through a Canadian case study about one of her first successful identifications. She'll also share how you can help improve the odds of solving more cases.
