How one Florida medical examiner is using it to solve cold cases /science-technology/2024-03-29/hillsborough-county-medical-examiner-genetic-genealogy-cold-cases Some family history websites allow investigators to match DNA samples with relatives, even distant ones. They can then build family trees in the hopes of tracking down the person they're looking for.
