HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Genetic DNA is helping police solve crimes. But how does it work? Is curiosity about your family tree leading to suspects?

A law enforcement expert, who spent his career putting criminals in prison, is now one of the most prolific at using investigative genetic genealogy to identify suspects.

The process answered a key question in one of Hawaii’s most notorious murder cases — the 1991 attack and killing of Dana Ireland.

In this episode of “The Other Side of Paradise,” Stephen Kramer explains how it was done and why the method will mean more cold cases will be solved.
