Overview#
Cold Case Intelligence provides unsolved case reinvestigation capabilities that leverage modern forensic technology, advanced DNA analysis, and artificial intelligence to breathe new life into investigations that have gone cold. The platform enables law enforcement agencies, district attorney cold case units, and investigative organizations to systematically reexamine unsolved homicides, missing persons cases, sexual assaults, and major crimes using modern investigative tools unavailable during original investigations.
Key Features#
Advanced DNA Re-Analysis#
Forensic genealogy, familial DNA searching, and touch DNA analysis using modern sensitivity thresholds applied to decades-old evidence. Coordinate with commercial DNA databases and forensic laboratories to identify suspects through genetic connections.
AI Case Pattern Recognition#
Machine learning algorithms identify connections across cold cases, recent crimes, and unsolved patterns. Detect similarities in modus operandi, victimology, geographic patterns, and forensic evidence that may link cases across time and jurisdiction.
Forensic Technology Application#
Apply modern forensic capabilities to historical evidence including enhanced fingerprint analysis (advanced processing techniques on previously examined evidence), digital forensics on recovered media, and reanalysis of physical evidence with current technology.
Witness Re-Interview Management#
Cognitive interviewing techniques, timeline reconstruction, and memory enhancement protocols for re-engaging witnesses years or decades after original events. Track witness availability, interview scheduling, and statement comparison with original records.
Multi-Jurisdictional Case Linking#
Identify serial offenders and crime patterns across agency boundaries. Cross-reference unsolved cases from multiple jurisdictions to detect patterns invisible within single-agency databases.
Evidence Chain of Custody#
Maintain legal integrity while applying new testing methods to decades-old evidence. Document evidence handling, testing requests, and results within defensible chain of custody frameworks.
Use Cases#
- Cold Case Homicide Investigation: Systematic reinvestigation of unsolved murders using forensic genealogy, DNA reanalysis, and modern forensic techniques to identify suspects.
- Serial Offender Identification: Link unsolved cases across jurisdictions through AI pattern matching and forensic evidence correlation to identify serial offenders.
- Missing Persons: Reexamine missing persons cases with modern investigative tools, including genetic genealogy for unidentified remains identification.
- Sexual Assault Kit Analysis: Process and analyze backlogged sexual assault evidence kits with modern DNA technology and cross-case matching.
Integration#
Connects with forensic laboratory systems, DNA databases, fingerprint identification systems, and multi-jurisdictional case sharing platforms. Integrates with evidence management systems for chain of custody continuity across decades-old cases.
