DNA: ID
by AbJack EntertainmentWe all hear stories almost daily now about cold cases being solved by investigative genetic genealogy. This new crime-solving tool answers the “who” question about these often decades-old crimes... but what about the why? This podcast will look at crimes solved by genetic genealogy, and examine the connection - if any - between the victim and the killer, and why the crime occurred. Each case is unique, and has its own story behind the headline. Join us for DNA: ID. New episodes will come out every other week on Mondays.

Episode 10 Rhonda Chantay Blankinship
In 2016, in the small, tight-knit town of Brownwood, Texas, everyone knew Chantay Blankinship. She was a developmentally challenged young woman who loved to walk the streets of the town, listening to music and waving and smiling to everyone. But one night, she disappeared. She was found raped and murdered in a location that pointed to a local offender. Investigators were at a loss until a Parabon Snapshot image of the killer was revealed. And that image generated not only tips, but ultimately, a confession.

Episode 9: Jennifer Watkins
In November 1999, married mom of two Jennifer Watkins had just started a full-time job at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs, CO. On a Friday night, she finished her shift, and everyone assumed she went home. But she didn’t go home. In fact, she never left the hospital alive. And even though her body was found in a restricted access area, no one saw Jennifer, or anyone else, go in. Someone close to Jennifer was considered the prime suspect for years, but he denied it. And it turned out, he was telling the truth. Her killer was someone else altogether.

Pam Milam
59m · Published
Episode 8: Pamela Milam
In 1972, Indiana State University student Pam Milam went missing after a night of sorority rush events. She was last seen walking to her car on the ISU campus. Her car was found the next evening, parked in a different spot than where she left it. Her things were still in the vehicle. And unfortunately, Pam’s father and sister were the ones to open the trunk and find Pam. Although there was a prime suspect in the case, it remained unsolved for decades. Finally, through the use of forensic genealogy, investigators learned that the man who killed Pam was not the prime suspect after all, but someone else altogether. Someone not on police radar – in her case, anyway.

Traci Hammerberg
50m · Published
Episode 6 Traci Hammerberg
Traci Hammerberg was bludgeoned to death and dumped in a private driveway in Grafton, Wisconsin in 1984. There were many very good suspects over the years, and another, very similar murder, but none of these were connected to Traci’s case. It was not until decades later that investigators were able to use the clues Traci gave them – her killer’s blood under her nails – to identify him.
Sources consulted in preparation of this episode include “The Murder of Traci Hammerberg True Crime Documentary” by MaxxMedia, and “Paula Zahn On the Case: Long Walk, Cold Night” – season 20 episode 8.
