Too much manual labor + outdated tech = chokepoints everywhere. The fix isn’t just more people; it’s better tech that automates & scales, brings certainty (e.g. whose DNA was left), & creates a transparent, objective process that stands up in court. Othram's mission. #dnasolves

In 1983, a man was found burned beyond recognition in a car in Mississippi. Authorities thought he was Edward Cates—until Cates was found alive a year later. Cates, running from the law, faked his death.
So who died in the car 40+ years ago?
