A 92-year-old man convicted in 2025. And DNA evidence recovered from a skirt that sat in storage for 57 years. Louisa Dunne's case isn't just a remarkable true crime story — Kevin thinks it's a preview of what's about to happen to dozens of cases that everyone has quietly accepted will never be solved.\n \nFirst, some follow-up on the James Renner special from last Wednesday. Kevin clarifies why he felt the need to address Renner's Amy Bradley book publicly: Renner has a documented history of sensationalizing cases, alienating families who don't cooperate — as he did with the Maura Murray family — and prioritizing his own narrative over the known facts.

What Kevin finds most significant about her case is not just the conviction — it's how it happened. Forensic genetic genealogy, the same technology pioneered by labs like Othram Labs, allowed investigators to extract a usable DNA profile from physical evidence that had been in storage since 1967 and cross-reference it against modern databases. A 92-year-old man who murdered a 75-year-old woman in Bristol, England and went on to commit further offenses — serving only seven years — was finally identified and convicted. Kevin believes cases like this are going to become a pattern, not an exception. If you're not already following Othram Labs on Facebook and X, he recommends it — they announce new case resolutions regularly.\n \nOn the fall series: the planned Henry Lee Lucas false confession series has been set aside.
