Courtney Fretwell-Ariola: 本期节目讲述了澳大利亚Sandy Point John Doe案,该案始于1929年发现的一块人类下颌骨,历经95年,最终通过法医遗传基因技术成功识别死者身份。案件调查过程充满挑战,传统方法未能取得突破,直到2023年,维多利亚法医研究所启动试点项目,利用法医遗传基因技术,将遗骸送往美国Othram实验室进行分析,最终通过DNA比对找到死者远房亲属,并成功重建家谱,确定死者身份为克里斯托弗·卢克·穆尔,死因为意外溺水。此案的成功为澳大利亚利用法医遗传基因技术解决悬案提供了有力支持。 Kristen Middleman: Othram实验室利用其专有技术创建了死者的完整家谱图,该技术能够处理最棘手的证据,包括在海水中浸泡多年的遗骸。传统方法难以从这类遗骸中提取足够的DNA信息,而Othram实验室的技术突破了这一瓶颈,成功构建了可用的家谱信息,为案件的最终解决提供了关键线索。 Judge John Kane: 2023年7月27日,法官正式确认Sandy Point John Doe的身份为克里斯托弗·卢克·穆尔,死因为意外溺水。判决书中详细阐述了案件调查过程,以及法医遗传基因技术在案件侦破中的关键作用。 Courtney Fretwell-Ariola: 本案的特殊之处在于,1929年发现的下颌骨曾被初步识别,但由于未被报告失踪,且后续调查缺乏关键技术手段,导致案件长期未能侦破。直到2017年发现完整的骨骼遗骸,并应用先进的法医遗传基因技术,才最终解开了这起长达95年的悬案。
