基因谱系与AI助破三十余年冷案
BBC科技报道，麦迪逊县警长办公室将1993年兰迪·盖尔·斯佩里诺遇害案的基因证据送往休斯敦公司Othram，后者通过调查性基因谱系技术锁定一名男性亲属，进而将调查引向阿尔伯特·齐格勒；齐格勒已认罪，并于今年5月被起诉。侦探还使用CentralSquare的Centerline AI平台分析超过2000页记录，重建时间线并找出可用于DNA检测的证据。Othram表示该技术无法破解所有案件，伦敦国王学院一位法医遗传学教授则指出，亲属可能未同意其基因数据被执法匹配，存在显著隐私担忧。
此案显示，调查性基因谱系与AI卷宗分析结合，可帮助锁定数十年前凶案的嫌疑人，但也带来同意与隐私问题，英国仍在研究是否采用该技术。

Randy Gail Sperino was last seen alive on the evening of 9 November 1993, as she was getting into a pickup truck in Granite City, Illinois.
The 34-year-old's body was found hours later in a field nearby, the victim of blunt force trauma.
The identity of her killer was a mystery. DNA evidence found at the crime scene was tested against standard law enforcement databases, but no matches were found.
