human remains, possibly a female, found lying near an unoccupied house. badly decomposed. hands and wrists still bound together. 30 years ago a young woman's body was discovered in the american midwest. nobody knew who she was. it is america's silent mast disaster, that there are so many people without names. she became known as grace doh, one of an estimated 250,000 unsolved murders in the us. i was going to keep looking, i didn't care what it took. now dna from genealogy websites is revolutionising cold case murder investigations like grace's, but at what cost? we have a multibillion—dollar industry unearthing the secrets

abandoned farmhouse in mcdonald county south—western missouri. the victim had been restrained with six types of rope. the police knew she had been murdered, but little else. 0scar tally road? 0scar tally road 7 awesome! 0scar tally road? awesome! we will see una bit. thanks. wow! this really is a dirt road. we are in the middle of nowhere stop behind, i'mjames. nice to meet you. stop behind, i'm james. nice to meet yon-— meet you. i'm gary from up the road. meet you. i'm gary from up the road- are _ meet you. i'm gary from up the road. are lovely _ meet you. i'm gary from up the road. are lovely to _ meet you. i'm gary from up the road. are lovely to meet - meet you. i'm gary from up the road. are lovely to meet you. l road. are lovely to meet you. lieutenant — road. are lovely to meet you. lieutenant hall— road. are lovely to meet you. lieutenant hall has _ road. are lovely to meet you. lieutenant hall has been - lieutenant hall has been working the case for 14 years. although he has driven by, he has never been to the site where the body was found. gary pugh, a neighbour, who lived on the road at the time of the discovery, has come to pinpoint the exact location. can you

e—mail address and how much dna you share with that profile. effectively what they are doing is building family trees so you have to build back far enough until you reach what they call a most recent common ancestor and then figure out where the trees came together and then build forward from there. by doing that you are able to zero in on the potential suspect. the capture of the golden state killer was a proof of concept moment. the technique worked. so could it be used to identify grace? , . , grace? frustrated by their case, jennifer _ grace? frustrated by their case, jennifer and - grace? frustrated by their case, jennifer and her - grace? frustrated by their- case, jennifer and her students managed to raise enough money to pay some genealogy experts to pay some genealogy experts to look into the case. the company was founded shortly after the golden state killer was identified with a mission to solve unsolvable cases. you want to fine — to solve unsolvable cases. you want to fine hits _ to solve unsolvable cases. you want to fine hits within - to solve unsolvable cases. you want to fine hits within third cousins _ want to fine hits within third cousins to make the case tractable. we definitely had

shawna was removed from her mother and adopted when she was five years old, before danielle was born. we are travelling to meet her older brother, robert, to find out more about the family and what shawna was like. so robert always thought that he would find shawna. it is pretty common that adopted brothers and sisters would try to find each other into adulthood. so this news that she had been killed and had been killed 30 years ago has hit him pretty hard. i want to find out firstly how that feels but secondly what kind of person shawna was, because he is one of the only people who we found who knew shawna, can

remember shawna, and the kind of difficult upbringing that they had. this must be rob? rob? hello, rob, it'sjames. this must be rob? rob? hello, rob, it's james. it's this must be rob? rob? hello, rob, it'sjames. it's nice this must be rob? rob? hello, rob, it's james. it's nice to meet you, sarah. how's it going? nice to meet you. nice to meet you. going? nice to meet you. nice to meet you-— to meet you. our biological mother was... _ to meet you. our biological mother was... a _ to meet you. our biological mother was... a little - to meet you. our biological- mother was... a little demented and rather evil, to be nice about it. and, shejust...

relatives to a crime, potentially none of whom have consented to being in a database used by police. shawna beth gabba's data came through because someone she had never met shed some dna. 0nce because someone she had never met shed some dna. once one person puts up their dna, they are agreeing for their entire extended family to be searchable, essentially, and thatis searchable, essentially, and that is a privacy issue. it’s that is a privacy issue. it's an interesting _ that is a privacy issue. it's an interesting issue i that is a privacy issue. it�*s an interesting issue but not necessarily specific to dna. suppose you and i are roommates at home, and i am not at the house, and the police come to your house and say, james, could i please take a look inside your home? if you say yes, you have essentially accepted that invitation for both of us. law enforcement does not access the underlying dna but they do and accessing the relationships that you would have two that unknown person. would have two that unknown erson. �* . . person. and that is the previously _ person. and that is the previously concerned. l

when it means occasionally some crimes go unsolved. i think it is incredibly hard to say this, i do not mean to minimise or be dismissive of the claim. but we do not make policies about the civil liberties of our whole society based on the personal feelings of single victims or the needs of single victims. there are an estimated 250,000 unsolved murders in the us alone, a number that increases by around 6000 each year. advocates of this technology say it is cruel to tell victim's family that the technology is available to solve a crime but it cannot be used. . . . , used. the privacy until

hello. a few places got close to 29 degrees on friday, it's likely over the weekend we will get above 30 for the first time this summer. mostly dry with hot sunshine and it is all because of high pressure which is taking up residence right on top of the uk. but notice there is a frontal system to the north, that will provide more cloud, especially across the north—west of scotland. some cloud to start the day across the irish sea coast, england, north wales, quite a lot of cloud for northern ireland and a little bit across the south of england. that will clear quite quickly but some cloud further north and west will be stubborn, staying quite grey, damp and windy for north west scotland, just 17 degrees for stornaway but in the sunshine in aberdeen, highs of 25. the cloud in northern ireland retreating to the coast, 26 inland through the afternoon, murky for some irish sea coast of north—west england and north wales, but inland, temperatures in a few places up to 29 or 30 degrees. always cooler around

the coasts with sea breezes. at silverstone, for the british grand prix, it looks hot through saturday and more especially for race day on sunday, lots of sunshine. strong sunshine, very high uv levels for many, especially in the south and west of the uk. make sure you protect yourself if you are out and about for any length of time. heading through saturday night, we see long clear spells, especially down towards england and wales, northern ireland and scotland have more cloud, some of that filtering across the irish sea towards north wales and north—west england, pretty mild and warm night in places, 14, 15 or 16 degrees. sunday, the further south you are, expect sunshine again, further north, generally more cloud in the mix, and some patchy rain across the north of scotland. temperatures a little bit lower across the northern half of the uk, further south, another very warm or hot day, one or two places in the london area could get up to 30 or even 31 degrees. into the start of next week, our area of high pressure will still be with us but tending to slide further west, that will allow something of a northerly wind,

knocking the edge off the temperatures, turning less hot, the odd shower in the south on monday and some rain later in the week.
