Episode 204 DNA ID Replay Deborah Dalzell 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 Deborah Dalzell which originally aired back in episode 15. New episodes of DNA ID return next week on 8/31/26! In 1999, 47 year old lawyer and businesswoman Deborah Dalzell was found murdered in a horrific scene in the master bath of her own home. Workaholic, family-oriented Deborah lived alone, and her life was risk and drama free. That is, until someone scaled a wall, cut a screen, and brutally attacked her as she slept in her bed. Whoever killed Deborah left virtually no evidence behind – except a calling card in the form of bodily fluids which yielded a complete male DNA profile. But it would be decades before forensic genealogy led to Deborah's killer – and he was alive. After 20 years, Deborah's family stoically sat through a lengthy and painful trial, and finally saw justice served for their beloved Deborah.
