Othram - General Discussion - #3

[Caring1]

This case was funded by a budget request that Senator Bradley and her colleagues supported last year. The legislation that you are tracking goes into effect this year, as you noted, and is modeled after that budget request. It adds funding for law enforcement to use forensic genetic genealogy more broadly. We couldn't be more grateful. You can't crowdfund every case!

So much good to be done!

Grateful Othram could assist the Hayward Police Department and the FBI in identifying the suspect in two brutal assaults and murders. Investigators now believe he might be responsible for even more unsolved crimes. Everyone deserves justice and we can't afford to not solve these terrible crimes.
