For family members, but also just for investigative purposes, because, of course, it is still very difficult to solve a homicide when you dont even know the victims name. but this still remains the longest unsolved homicide in philadelphias history. but how did detectives get to here? well, they exhumed the boys body twice. on the second time, theyre able to get enough of a sample to be able to put that into a dna database and compare that with a genealogical sort of database. and theyre able to...

Making frogs. this was so cold of a of a go unsolved. we are told the killer was sloppy heat likely left critical physical evidence behind such as his blood or hair maybe even a footprint for it all that could help identify the suspect or at least narrow down the field. any dna left at the scene has probably already been analyzed and now run to the criminal justice a dna database called coders. a lot of digital evidence but despite policing their making significant progress the families of the v...

Unsuccessful. so we mounted a petition to the governor and have, i think, over 6,000 signatures asking him to act on this issue. >> explain this potential genealogical path that you think might be helpful. >> well, you know, the federal government has a dna data bait, c and it has samples of dna but it is normally felons or ex-released felons. it is not real big database. some states contribute, some states dont. the golden state killer if you recall that case, very old cold case, was solved by ...

People were waiting for the third murder. in 1987, the opportunities to gather evidence would have been quite different to what we can do nowadays. there would have been quite a lot of emphasis on what witnesses had seen, what witnesses had heard. we had uniform officers drafted in, doing the house—to—house inquiries — you know, it was — it was huge. it was wendys flat which contained some critical clues. wendys white blouse that shed been wearing — last known to have been wearing — ...

A register of plates since 190a. the database of police dna profiles only began in 1985, and wendys killer wasnt on it. but part of another plate can tell you where and when a car was registered. and now part of a dna profile can tell you the family the sample likely comes from.— likely comes from. you can imagine — likely comes from. you can imagine over _ likely comes from. you can imagine over 65 _ likely comes from. you can imagine over 65 million - likely comes from. you can - imagine o...

Of methane gas in order to study it and see if there are extremophile bacteria living at the bottom of this crater that could give us clues as to where we might want to look for a life outside of our solar system. and this is a very unique place on earth, there is no other spot just like it. well, it was very difficult to get there — two years or so of planning and preparation. i had a special heat resistant suit and self—contained air. i was able to drop down in the centre and spend 17 minu...

The database of police dna profiles only began in 1985, and wendys killer wasnt on it. but part of another plate can tell you where and when a car was registered. and now part of a dna profile can tell you the family the sample likely comes from. you can imagine over 65 million people in the uk, there are around 6.5 million profiles on the dna database. through science, through algorithms, through brilliant individuals, they will narrow that profile down to a population of around 90 people. 90 p...
