Crime Decoded is a podcast about forensic science, genetic genealogy, and the cases they help solve.
Our mission:
Every episode explores the intersection of science and justice—the DNA evidence that finally identifies a killer after decades, the genetic genealogists who build family trees to find unknown suspects, the investigators who never gave up on the cases everyone else forgot.
We believe victims deserve to be remembered as people, not just case files. We believe families deserve answers. And we believe the science that brings those answers deserves to be understood.
What you’ll find here:
– Deep dives into cold cases solved through forensic science
– Explanations of genetic genealogy and DNA technology
– Resources for understanding forensic methodology
– Updates on advances in crime-solving science
Crime Decoded approaches true crime differently. No sensationalism. No speculation beyond verified facts. Just rigorous, sourced storytelling that honors victims while explaining the science that brings them justice.
