Chargement... The Forever Witness: How DNA and Genealogy Solved a Cold Case Double Murderpar Edward Humes
![]()
Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() This is the case which served as the hallmark of DNA genealogy used to solve crimes. It seemed to be happenstance that a woman CeCe Moore in California began investigating genetic genealogy not realizing that she was about to fall into a rabbit hole. Since then, she was able to lend her knowledge of this technology to solve crimes. That's where Detective Jim Scharf comes in wanting to solve a cold case from 1987 in Seattle of a double murder of two teens: Tanya Van Cuylenborg and Jay Cook. Once he sends the DNA to Parabon NanoLabs he isn't prepared for the media storm that will follow regarding privacy of DNA samples versus the legal system wanting to solve decades old murder cases. It is fascinating how the collaboration of dedicated people were able make advances in solving crimes. Thank you NetGalley and Random House for providing this book for review consideration. All opinions expressed are my own. A totally absorbing read about the 1987 murder of two Canadians in Washington state, and the solving of that crime 31 years later using DNA. Well written and researched, rich in details that really set the atmosphere of the crime and the subsequent police work. The description of how DNA was used was fascinating and raises so many issues around privacy and consent. This was fascinating! The lengths Detective Scharf went to solve this case! He was good about keeping in touch with the families. If you have ever watched TV where they have solved a cold case involving genetic genealogy you probably are familiar with CeCe Moore. This was the first case that CeCe Moore solved using genetic genealogy. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:??Thought-provoking true-crime thriller?the book raises urgent questions of balancing public and private good that we??ll likely be dealing with as long as the title implies.???Wall Street Journal A relentless detective and a civilian genealogist solve a haunting cold case??and launch a crime-fighting revolution that tests the fragile line between justice and privacy. In November 1987, a young couple from the idyllic suburbs of Vancouver Island on an overnight trip to Seattle vanished without a trace. A week later, the bodies of Tanya Van Cuylenborg and her boyfriend Jay Cook were found in rural Washington. It was a brutal crime, and it was the perfect crime: With few clues and no witnesses in the vast and foreboding Olympic Peninsula, an international manhunt turned up empty, and the sensational case that shocked the Pacific Northwest gradually slipped from the headlines. In deep-freeze, long-term storage, biological evidence from the crime sat waiting, as Detective Jim Scharf poured over old case files looking for clues his predecessors missed. Meanwhile, 1,200 miles away in California, CeCe Moore began her lifelong fascination with genetic genealogy, a powerful forensic tool that emerged not from the crime lab, but through the wildly popular home DNA ancestry tests purchased by more than 40 million Americans. When Scharf decided to send the cold case??s decades-old DNA to Parabon NanoLabs, he hoped he would finally bring closure to the Van Cuylenborg and Cook families. He didn??t know that he and Moore would make history. Genetic genealogy, long the province of family tree hobbyists and adoptees seeking their birth families, has made headlines as a cold case solution machine, capable of exposing the darkest secrets of seemingly upstanding citizens. In the hands of a tenacious detective like Scharf, genetic genealogy has solved one baffling killing after another. But as this crime-fighting technique spreads, its sheer power has sparked a national debate: Can we use DNA to catch the murderers among us, yet still protect our last shred of privacy in the digital age??the right to the ve Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
