Episode 197 DNA ID Replay Christy Mirack While Jess is on summer break preparing new episodes of DNA ID, we are airing some of our favorite one part episodes weekly in what we call 'DNA ID Replay' episodes. In this episode, we explore the case of Christy Mirack which originally aired in episode 3. In 1992, beloved young teacher Christy Mirack was brutally slain in her own home. Although police investigated thoroughly, and there were some intriguing clues that Christy was targeted, there were no viable suspects, and the case went cold. Then, with the help of Parabon, police discovered the identity of Christy's killer. And his identity was a surprise to everyone. This is one of the first cases in the country to secure a conviction of a killer from decades ago on the basis of DNA traced back to him through forensic genealogy. And it's not over yet. I'll share new information about the killer and the status of his conviction.
