Across the United States and beyond, the number of unsolved sexual assault and murder cases is astronomical. Statistics report that over 200,000 murders have gone unsolved in the United States and the figure is far greater for sexual assault. In the United States, there are over 1 million cases with DNA evidence from the crime scene that have been entered into the National DNA Database but have not been matched to the perpetrator. Recent advances in forensics, including the use of forensic investigative genetic genealogy (FIGG) are revolutionizing law enforcement’s ability to solve crime. These advances impact investigations from evidence collection methods to forensic analysis and the interpretation of the results. Additionally, the use of FIGG to solve crimes impacts the prosecution of these cases, from discovery, pretrial motions and case presentation This course covers the use of FIGG in investigations, prosecution considerations as well as best practices for investigators and prosecutors.
