   DNA genealogy and AI help solve a 1993 Illinois cold case

   BBC Technology reports that Madison County Sheriff's Office detectives sent genetic evidence from the 1993 killing of Randy Gail Sperino to Houston-based Othram, which used investigative genetic genealogy to identify a male relative and point investigators to Albert Zigler, who confessed and was charged in May. Detectives also used CentralSquare's Centerline AI platform to analyze more than 2,000 pages of records, reconstruct timelines and identify evidence for DNA testing. Othram says the technique cannot solve every case, and a King's College London forensic genetics professor flagged privacy concerns because relatives may not have consented to law-enforcement matching.
