On November 8, 1999, a young mother, 23-year-old Jennifer Watkins, was found dead in a secluded stairwell at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs where she worked. Despite the Colorado Springs Police Department’s extensive efforts, the case went cold for two decades until Sergeant Kory Dabb enlisted the help of Parabon’s Chief Genetic Genealogist, CeCe Moore.
Although investigative genetic genealogy would eventually lead to the identify of Jennifer’s killer, her co-worker 29-year-old Ricky Severt, the journey was far from straightforward. The presenters will take you through the twists and turns of the case and illustrate how, occasionally, even investigative genetic genealogy can initially send detectives chasing after a red herring.
