I felt sick.

I mean, it scared me to death.

How frightened that it's happened.

close to home, at home.

I have been involved in over 360 law enforcement cases that I've been able to help law enforcement resolve.

Genetic genealogy is the combination of using documentary sources and DNA to learn more about someone's family history.

I started filming a series with ABC News called The Genetic Detective.

The work I did laid the foundation for the investigators who identify the killer in the Yogurt Shop murders.

March 28, 1998, a teenager and his father came home and made a terrible discovery.

Megan and Sherry Shearer, a mother and young daughter, had been viciously murdered.

Unfortunately, Megan was sexually assaulted, and so they were able to collect DNA from the perpetrator off of her body.

What's amazing to me is that that wasn't enough for him.

Two murders and a rape wasn't enough.

He tried to go and victimize somebody else in the very same day, and I think that tells us something important about him.

The survivor, the woman who fought him off, she was able to describe him to law enforcement, and so that was a really key piece of information.

The Shearer family was beloved in their community and Zuri State Police.

This was a really important case to them.

But years passed until they were able to do more with that biological evidence.

And once DNA technology advanced, they were able to get that DNA profile created and uploaded into the law enforcement database CODIS.

A lot of jurisdictions across the country, there was a backlog of processing rape kits.
