Ep: 118 | A Conversation with Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick | Pioneer of Genetic Genealogy | Murder Unscripted

Her degree says nuclear physics but her work changed the way cold cases are solved. ⬇️

To close out our Killer Connections block, Ed and Melissa sit down with the woman whose name has come up all month long: Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick. Before forensic genetic genealogy was a headline, before it was even a field, Colleen saw a different way to use DNA.

She founded Identifinders International, helped turn distant relatives into the key that unlocks decades-old cold cases, and became a legend in true crime genre along the way.

In this insightful conversation, Colleen discusses the road from physics to the front lines of cold case work, the cases that never left her, and where this science goes next.
