TODAY’S CASE
This week we’re talking about Colin Pitchfork — the guy who ended up being the first ever criminal caught using DNA. Back in the 1980s, two terrible crimes in a small English town had everyone on edge, and police had no clue who was behind them. Then along came a brand-new bit of science that completely changed the game.

Note: This episode discusses real-life tragic events and contains sensitive content that may be distressing to some listeners.
