Synopsis: DNA evidence speaks when victims can’t. There are over 100,000 cold cases in America. Only about 1% are ever solved – and, increasingly, advancements in forensic science are key to cracking these long-running mysteries.
COLD CASE FILES: DNA SPEAKS is a new, 10-part documentary series focusing on murder cases that remained unsolved for decades and were ultimately cracked with DNA evidence. It explores these stunning scientific developments – as well as the unwavering dedication of families and investigators – that eventually brought the killers to justice.
The Emmy-nominated Cold Case Files was the original forensic science crime show when it first aired in 1999. This brand-new series is narrated by the original host and executive producer, celebrated journalist Bill Kurtis, and builds on the success of the original with spectacular cinematography, extraordinary crime scene footage, and cutting-edge science.
Each one-hour episode meticulously dissects the twists and turns of a single cold case – following the critical elements that heated it up and the forensic breakthroughs that finally ended in the conviction of the killer. The show follows investigators as they harness the latest DNA extraction techniques and the transformative combination of genealogy and DNA-tracing to bring closure to even the most mystifying, impenetrable murder cases.
Featuring interviews with family, friends, detectives, and others closest to the cases, the refreshed, classic series gives voice to a wide range of victims and families – and to the investigators and scientists who are fighting for justice.
