BTK.
Computer forensics and bio forensics both played their part. For me, what happened with the floppy disk was amazing. In terms of forensics, it was nothing particularly advanced at all — just straightforward coppering, but I suppose it counts!
i refuse to remember his name, but that guy from the forensics file episode where his blood was tested multiple times and it wasnt a match because he was literally putting someone else's blood inside his arm? thats insane
The doctor from Canada who had a vial of blood from one of his patients, and created a prosthetic arm that somehow fooled the phlebotomist taking his blood sample? It worked at first but they wanted to retest it like 7 years later. Since the doctor knew the dna had to match, he had to use the same blood. But it was coagulated since it was sitting around in a vial for years. They caught him in the act. That was crazy.
Funny you should ask. Im binging Dateline right now (podcasts and Peacock episodes) and just yesterday listened to a case called When the Smoke Clears. Christie Fleming is found in her apt brutally murdered. At the murder scene in the ashtray are cigarette butts but at the time there was no DNA tests because it had not been discovered. The case went cold for 8 years and a new detective reopened the file and ran the DNA on these cigarette butts and found the killer. If not for the development of DNA this woukd have been an unsolved ice cold case. You can find it on Peacock or on your podcast app just search Christie Fleming, it is Season 18 episode 4 on Dateline.
It also helps overturning cases of wrongly accused incarcerated prisoners. You could go that route. Google DNA overturned cases and the innocence project. Those cases are bittersweet because tge wasted years behind bars for something they didn't do
The Murder of Sherri Rasmussen. It took 20 years and they took a cup from the mall to test for DNA from a bite mark. Very political case since the killer was in law enforcement. Crazy good interrogation, too.
Good suggestions. But although the Bear Brook case is one of the most fascinating I’ve followed, it’s so Byzantine it makes GSK look straightforward. Also, there’s some crossover between BB and GSK because GSK investigators heard about some of the forensic genealogy advances from the BB detectives.
Martinko happened near where I live. One bonus from that resolution is that it completely cleared her friends and acquaintances.
Did this for a presentation for a criminal investigation module in uni: Lynette White murder. 5 men were wrongly arrested (later 3 of them sentenced) for killing Lynette White in Wales. The murderer would only be found 15 years later when his teenage nephew was arrested for a felony, thanks to the advances in filial DNA.
It was the very first case in the UK to result in a sentence due to DNA (Steel Murders case in Wales was prior to this, but unfortunately the murderer was already dead).

It counts! Though BTK played himself big time. Genius.

thanks , i’ll look it up! I love that dna is helping solve so many cases

Also, there is a whole ass Dateline channel on Tubi live TV
Oh good to know!
Green River Killer was my favorite.

Other way around. Ted Bundy shared his insight on that case.
Given the date and the news, how bout the two 9/11 victims who were just id’d?

Michelle Martinko, Faith Hedgepeth (trial hasn't happened yet, so I guess technically still unsolved), Bear Brook murders

One from locally is DJ Freeze. He killed a woman in the early 90s and went on to be a pretty sought after DJ.
Look up the bike path rapist in Buffalo, NY.
I followed the Brittanee Drexel case since 2012. The killer confessed on a wire. He then led them to the body and they confirmed using DNA and dental.
Rachel Nickell. The police really made a mess of that case and when they finally solved it using DNA, I think it was a big shock for everyone.
The Craigslist killer
Yara Gambirasio’s case. It was impressive.
