The DNA Hit of the Year program is an international collaboration that is able to share, through real cases, the value of DNA Databases on a global scale. During the first four years, the cases the judges selected as the DNA Hit of the Year, truly opened our eyes to what is possible when the advancement of science is combined with the tenacity of DNA scientists and police officers.
Tim Schellberg, President of Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs, along with a global panel of judges and a special guest, discuss those four cases, along with other submissions, and what made them so unique.
In this webinar you’ll hear about:
- The benefits of incorporating Y-STRs and familial searching into a DNA database program
- The advantages of expanding national DNA databases with increased reference samples from arrestees and convicted offenders
- Case examples on how modern and historical technologies can be used to identify perpetrators from serial rape cases and decades-old cases
