VIRTUAL: Learn How Amateur Sleuths Are Solving America’s Coldest Cases

Tuesday, October 87:00—8:00 PMZoom

Thousands of unidentified bodies are discovered in America every year according to estimates from the U.S. Department of Justice. This startling reality has led to the rise of an online world of amateur sleuthing with everyday Americans trying to solve cold cases from the comfort of their living rooms. Deborah Halber, author of "The Skeleton Crew: How Amateur Sleuths Are Solving America's Coldest Cases," will discuss how these armchair sleuths have evolved from the early days of the Internet to genetic and forensic genealogy, which uses results from DNA tests such as 23andMe and Ancestry.com to identify suspects or victims by tracing their family trees.
