You may have heard of the Golden State Killer—or the East Side Rapist, the Visalia Ransacker, the Original Night Stalker, the Diamond Knot Killer...
After more than 40 years and countless investigations by hundreds of law enforcement professionals, Joseph James DeAngelo was finally identified—thanks to some DNA and an online genealogy database. In this episode, hear Anne Marie talk about IGG as a revolutionary new tool that can solve violent crimes and have a meaningful impact on human rights.
