DNA: The Forever Witness

Presenter: Edward Humes, Lisa Hallett Taylor


We’ll discuss the 1987 Seattle murders of Tanya Van Cuylenborg and Jay Cook and how this 31-year-old mystery was solved in two hours through genetic genealogy. We’ll consider the uncertain future of this revolutionary crime-fighting tool amid persistent issues of equity, transparency, privacy, lack of regulation, and profiteering. Can investigative genetic genealogy move from novelty to ubiquity?
