Compelling writeup on how DNA tech finally cracked this case. The 27-year wait for that sexual asault kit to be processed really shows the gap between evidence collection and analysis capacity. I've been following forensic genealogy cases and the trickiest part isn't the science, it's navigating teh consent issues around using familial DNA from databases. Justice here, but definitely raises questionsabout database governance.
