Honored to have started the Daniel Paul Armantrout fund. Through donations we will fund unidentified remain cases that departments cannot fund themselves. Our first case comes to us from Dearborn Michigan. https://t.co/C2Tur0kipe Please consider sharing or donating. #dna#fgg
Every few weeks we get emails in about adoption or biological family searches. While @Identifinders only works Forensic cases, we wanted to shout out @birthparentfind for family related searches. Fill out their website form and their genealogists will be happy to help!

Dr. @CFitzp is a featured speaker this week at the Violent Crime Symposium Sponsored by the Wilmington University Criminal Justice Program. She will be speaking about "Forensic Genetic Genealogy - How it has Revolutionized Cold Case Work" on April 26th from 10:15am to 12pm.
This was possible because of YOU! With your support, we were able to fund the work of @Identifinders and HCIFS that identified Harold Dean Clouse and Tina Gail Clouse after over 40 years. Thank you for continuing to help us make a meaningful impact in the true crime space. 💜
Years later, staff with @Identifinders, connected the remains’ DNA to Clouse’s close cousins living in Kentucky.
The break was the result of new genealogical testing contributed by millions of people using testing sites, like Gedmatch and FamilyTreeDNA. https://t.co/KKZOSuSMdj
We have been fortunate to receive a lot of buzz this week about the identification of Daniel Paul Armantrout as Bibb County, Alabama's John Doe.
We would like to recognize Bibb County Coroner, C.W West. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for bringing Daniel home.
Reconnecting with our wonderful partners from the @napervillePD. John Reed and Mike Umbenhower were just two of the wonderful Detectives we worked with on the 1972 homicide of Julie Hanson. Catch us at the IHIA conference this week!
