Cells: From DNA to Prison is a deep-dive true crime podcast focused on cold cases solved through forensic DNA and genetic genealogy. Hosted by Casey and Cole, the show examines how advances in science transformed decades-old evidence into investigative leads — identifying offenders who were never on law enforcement's radar. Using police records, court filings, and modern forensic methods, each episode dissects the science, the investigation, and the psychology behind the crime, revealing how one genetic profile can unravel an entire family tree — and a lifetime of secrecy.
