Delve into the world of Forensic Genealogy, also known as investigative genetic genealogy, and advances in solving cold cases of missing and murdered persons!

Dr. Redgrave will present a general overview of forensic genetic genealogy, examples of cases that he has worked on with his team, and the particular difficulties inherent in cases involving LGBTQ+ victims. Dr. Redgrave will also be available to answer any technical or ethical questions presented by attendees.

Anthony Redgrave (he/him) of Redgrave Research Forensic Services is a founding board member of the Trans Doe Task Force, an organization that seeks to resolve cases of missing, murdered, and unidentified members of the queer community, especially Transgender individuals. His dissertation focused on determining barriers to communication between members of key stakeholder groups affected by the use of forensic genetic genealogy in order to develop standards of practice that support its use to resolve cold cases of fatal violence towards marginalized victims. He is also the founder and instructor of FG4LE (Forensic Genealogy for Law Enforcement), an online education program designed to teach forensic genetic genealogy to law enforcement professionals, and Redgrave Research Forensic Services, a forensic genetic genealogy research team for hire by law enforcement clients and private clients with difficult genetic genealogy questions that others haven’t been able to answer. He has assisted in the resolution of dozens of cold cases since 2018 and presents frequently at universities and academic conferences on the topics of forensic genetic genealogy and the reduction of postmortem violence towards Transgender individuals.
