S2: Episode 03 - Caught After Death: Reverse DNA / Forensic Genealogy Exposes Joseph Holt
Update: 2021-07-01
Description
Welcome to Season 2 of Solve Crimes!
Thanks for dropping by and welcome to Solve Crimes’ new series, “Caught After Death”.
With recent advancements in Reverse DNA / Forensic Genealogy searches, law enforcement detectives working on cold cases are excited to close some of their most frustrating unsolved murders.
One such cold case unit was the El Dorado County Cold Case Task Force in California which encompasses the South Lake Tahoe, California area. They had two murders with assault from 1977 and 1979 that shared the DNA of one unknown suspect. The suspect's DNA was not in CODIS - the FBI's national DNA database of known criminals. So they used GED Match to find a close relative of the murderer and eventually they got him...but he was dead.
In February of 2019, it was announced that they had genetically matched Joseph Stephen Holt to the two murders in South Lake Tahoe, California.
