JFS Forensic Lab Talks Seminar

Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy – Part II
Beyond the OMG Era: Forensic Genetic Genealogy 2011 - 2023, Expectations Versus Realities

Dr. Fitzpatrick is widely recognized as the founder of modern Forensic Genealogy. She has pioneered the use of genetic genealogy Y-STR and autosomal SNP analysis for generating forensic intelligence on cold cases sometimes decades old. Dr. Fitzpatrick's presentation will discuss how Forensic Genetic Genealogy (FGG) has been used for more than ten years to solve hundreds of cold cases, many dating back decades. As more cases move forward to successful resolution, the capabilities of FGG are becoming more well characterized, tempering expectations, and mitigating the risk of over-using a technique once regarded as a miracle cure for the common cold case.
