Description
Today we are talking about the cold case factory. After the capture of the Golden State Killer exposed many to forensic genealogy last April, many cold cases have been solved using this technique of combining DNA analysis and family tree building. One company, who has worked with several law enforcement entities and has had a lot of success in solving over 30 cold case murders just last year is Parabon NanoLabs. Writer and journalist Sarah Weinman, joins us to discuss how Parabon has gotten so good at solving cold cases using forensic genealogy and the bigger question, how this crime solving game changer will hold up in court.
Next, we’ve talked about deepfake videos before, but deepfake audio is not far behind and companies are already working on trying to identify fakes before it’s too late. Experts say that great deepfake audio is only a couple years away and is most likely to supercharge political mayhem, spam calls, and white collar crimes. Kaveh Waddell, emerging tech reporter for Axios, joins us to talk about the future of fake audio.
