概要

In 1987, bartender Sandra Lison was murdered in Green Bay, Wisconsin. DNA evidence excluded two brothers from the crime, but they were convicted anyway and spent 25 years in prison. Meanwhile, the real killer died free.


In 2024, a team of college students used investigative genetic genealogy to finally identify Sandra's killer: William Hendricks, a convicted rapist who had never been investigated. This is the story of how science aided police in freeing two innocent men and gave Sandra Lison the justice she waited 37 years to receive.

Robert and David Bintz are the third and fourth people in the United States to be exonerated through forensic genetic genealogy, the same technology that catches killers can also free the innocent.
