About this episode

The episode discusses how forensic genetic genealogy helped solve the Yogurt Shop Murders after more than 30 years.

In Part One, we examined the decades-long investigation into the murders of Eliza Thomas, Amy Ayers, and sisters Jennifer and Sarah Harbison. Today, Chanley sits down with renowned investigative genetic genealogist CeCe Moore, whose groundbreaking work helped solve the case more than 30 years later. Moore explains how forensic genetic genealogy identified a new suspect, brought answers to the victims' families, and helped clear four men who spent years under suspicion for a crime they say they did not commit.
