The DNA DOE PROJECT — Part 2 Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

The DNA Doe Project had worked to solve the cases of unidentified decedents—also known as "Does." Through the use of investigative genetic genealogy, cases once though impossible to close are now being solved, and some of the volunteers behind this nonprofit speak to us about its history, its biggest solves, and the cases that need the most support—and the gaps that still remain in IGG that can be improved to better serve the unidentified dead.

Carolyn DeFord, Part 3: Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women and People Nov 25, 2022

Show notes

This week, in honor of National Native American Heritage Day, we are re-releasing one of our most popular series: our three-part interview with Carolyn DeFord.

In the final installment in our series covering the life of MMIW advocate and daughter of a missing person, Carolyn DeFord, we learn how the disappearance of her mother, Leona Kinsey, has shaped her current world--and work--and the crisis she sees in MMIWCR cases; disappearances and murders are undercounted, underreported, misclassified, and rarely addressed outside action groups and specific political campaigns. Carolyn, and advocates like her, are changing that. And they need your help.
