The tour occurred on Friday, March 8th, at Othram’s state-of-the-art headquarters in The Woodlands, Texas.

During this exceptional experience, Ludlow and her peers were granted access to Othram’s cutting-edge forensic lab, where they delved into the intricacies of forensic DNA testing and genetic genealogy. Led by Othram’s expert scientists, the attendees gained invaluable insights into the innovative technologies revolutionizing crime solving.

“I felt honored to be included in such an exclusive sneak peek into the cutting-edge science employed in DNA testing and genetic genealogy in crime solving. The standards and practices used by Othram scientists go above and beyond what has been possible before to solve human remains cases that have been unsolved for decades. It’s very exciting to see how the families and loved ones of the missing and murdered are finally getting answers and, in some cases, justice,” states Ludlow.

Project: Cold Case says between 1965 and 2022, an estimated 340,000 cases of homicide and non-negligent manslaughter remained unresolved, as per an analysis of FBI Uniform Crime Report data conducted by The Murder Accountability Project. Othram’s groundbreaking advancements in forensic science have played a pivotal role in helping resolve some cold cases that have remained unsolved for decades. Through firsthand accounts shared by investigators, Ludlow and her fellow attendees witnessed the profound impact of Othram’s technology on bringing closure to families and delivering long-awaited justice.

“I look forward to highlighting some of these cases on Once Upon a Crime. I know my listeners will be as interested in learning about how the advances in processing forensic evidence are being used by law enforcement to close previously unsolvable cases,” says Ludlow.

Ludlow encourages the public to support Othram’s mission by visiting DNASolves.com, where individuals can contribute DNA or provide case funding. She emphasized, “The public’s support helps solve crimes, identifies John and Jane Does, and brings closure to families.”
