Recent developments have revolutionized the way we catch criminals, by helping us solve cold cases, unravel murders, and find missing relatives.
During a fascinating two-hour show, Turi will take you behind the scenes of hit BBC 2 series DNA Family Secrets. She’ll reveal the heart-warming, and sometimes heart-breaking, real-life stories she’s worked on – and how it affects everyone involved.
“Sometimes people have waited their entire life to hear the truth,” explains Turi, “which makes my scientific work deeply personal.”
Turi will also discuss the improbability of cracking one of the biggest forensic DNA cases in history - the discovery and identification of King Richard III.
And how you yourself can unlock the mysteries of your own past.”
