Using Forensic Genetic Genealogy to Solve Serial Sexual Assaults and Sexually Motivated Homicides

Using Forensic Genetic Genealogy to Solve Serial Sexual Assaults and Sexually Motivated Homicides

More and more suspects are identified using the analysis of biological samples collected at a crime scene or developed from the remains of Jane or John Doe combined with traditional genealogical research on potential relatives identified in public DNA databases. Nowhere is this investigative technique more relevant than with a cold case sexual assault homicide, deemed otherwise stagnant.

DNA and Sexual Assault Kits: A Great Forensic Tool

DNA and Sexual Assault Kits: A Great Forensic Tool

Identifying Repeat Offenders by Applying Lessons Learned from The Rape Kit Backlog

Identifying Repeat Offenders by Applying Lessons Learned from The Rape Kit Backlog

A new picture of sexual violence and homicide offenders has emerged due to increased funding to test backlogged and unprocessed rape kits, and the collection and processing of DNA from known offenders. This session will summarize findings from agencies nationwide and outline specific best practices gleaned from big misses in investigations and DNA processing. The presenter will provide case examples, resources for further guidance on intra- and inter-agency collaboration, as well as ideas for using DNA and information technology to identify and track repeat offenders.

Unsubmitted Sexual Assault Kits: Changing What We Know About Rape

Unsubmitted Sexual Assault Kits: Changing What We Know About Rape

In the Fall of 2014, The Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education was approached by the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office (CCPO) for the purposes of understanding more about these unsubmitted SAKs. Funded by the CCPO, the researcher team was given access to the SAK case files, and they coded a random sample of 243 sexual assaults case files with completed investigations that either resulted in prosecution or were not pursued due to insufficient evidence.
