Two women, two decades-old mysteries, and one powerful tool—DNA. In this episode, we examine how forensic genealogy helped identify Linda Sue Anderson, once an unknown homicide victim, and how new DNA testing finally led to an arrest in the brutal 2003 murder of Theresa Romano. How did investigators connect the dots after so many years? And will justice be served?
DNA has become an important investigative tool, not only when analyzing current cases, but for solving cold cases from decades ago.
With this rapidly evolving technology, smaller and smaller amounts of DNA can be used to identify unknown victims and unknown murderers using genetic genealogy and other investigative techniques. Because of this, there is new hope for people who have lost loved ones that they might achieve some level of closure.
We’ve got two of these cases for you today, one from 1991 and one from 2003. As with so many of the stories we cover, we don’t know a lot about the victims, because the media prefers to focus on the more sensational aspects rather than the victims and those they leave behind.
In one case we have the typical story of a woman who allegedly just up and left her family, and in the other, we have a brutal murder that remained unsolved for 21 years
