    Love this show

    I am hooked on this show. I find the genealogy mapping fascinating. I want more episodes!

    Mystery, murder, mad skills, and more...

    I absolutely love this show! First, as our family's genealogist, I couldn't believe that someone was finally using this innovative and groundbreaking technique to solve crimes. Each episode is a fascinating adventure to see exactly how CeCe performs her detective work as she demonstrates her approach. Locked at home due to coronavirus, I could easily relate to her working from home on her laptop just as I do each day with family around, which will probably be the wave of the future. My true love is solving mysteries so after the first episode I was hooked. She is clearly deeply empathetic, professional and dedicated to doing the best job that she can. The fact that each of these cases gets resolved intrigued me. The appeal of the cold cases was that her technique had the potential to finally bring closure to these long-suffering families. However, I was thrilled to see her work contribute to securing a conviction for an active case resulting in a dangerous perpetrator being taken off the streets before hurting someone else. I know the law enforcement team in these various and demanding cases who worked every other tool at their disposal to solve these crimes are relieved and delighted to add this powerful tool to their arsenal. This show is profoundly satisfying in a way that many other reality TV programs strive to be and fail.

    Freaking loved it!

    I loved it! Interesting and fascinating that it can solve seriously old cold cases and a bit of insight into the gal who can do it!

    This will be interesting!

    Can't wait for the next episodes. This is "state of the art" true crime solving in an emerging field.

    This first episode introduces the main characters: CeCe, GEDMatch and Codis. Future episodes will certainly focus on the mystery and "whodunnit"

    Looking forward to each episode!
