Check out all of the exclusive perks for crimeHQ members at CrimeCon 2023 Orlando!

EXCLUSIVE SESSION

CrimeCon is over for everyone but crimeHQ members with a bonus session at 3:15pm on Sunday in Breakout One: "Unraveling the Past: Applying Forensic Genetic Genealogy Towards Solving Violent Crimes & Identifying Human Remains, Presented by Othram and DNASolves." In the ever-evolving landscape of forensic science, genetic genealogy has emerged as a powerful tool for identifying human remains and suspects of violent crimes. This session will delve into the intriguing intersections of genetics and genealogy, and its transformative role in the world of law enforcement.


In this engaging and interactive finale to CrimeCon weekend, crimeHQ members will have the opportunity to apply their newfound knowledge and detective skills to solve a hypothetical case. Using online tools and resources, coupled with their laptops or iPads, they will collaborate in small teams to crack the case. Each team will analyze genetic data, scour historical records, and follow digital breadcrumbs to uncover the truth. This hands-on experience will provide a glimpse into the challenges and rewards of modern-day forensic genetic genealogy.


By the end of this workshop, participants will not only appreciate the pivotal role of genetics and genealogy in forensic investigations, but they'll also gain a deeper understanding of the ethical and privacy considerations that accompany this groundbreaking field. Science meets sleuthing and the result is closure to cold cases and justice for the victims and their families.
