Course Description:
Cold cases are notoriously difficult to solve, and new leads virtually impossible to generate. Even with a DNA profile, police may not get a match in the CODIS system. Attendees in this course are introduced to the differences in the old vs. new DNA system and presented with how IGG is used to generate new leads. The class will show investigators, analysts, and law enforcement staff working homicides, sexual assaults, and unidentified remains how to use IGG to solve previously unsolvable cases. The course will provide legal recommendations for collaboration with prosecutors and funding options using grants and other sources. Attendees will leave with a solid understanding of how to apply new investigative techniques to solve old cases.
Instructor:
Tobi Kirschmann is a veteran DNA Analyst who worked in the California DNA Databank for 10 years before moving to Saratoga Springs, NY in 2017. She worked at the NYSP Forensic Investigation Center before starting DNA Investigations, a company dedicated to bringing genetic genealogy training and services to local law enforcement agencies. As part of the team of law enforcement personnel who worked on the Golden State Killer case, Tobi was moved by the success of the leads generated through genetic genealogy. She is adamant about the power of this new DNA tool and has aligned DNA Investigations to educate the public and promote the use of genetic genealogy in the hands of local law enforcement.
