For decades, thousands of murder victims and unidentified human remains cases across the United States went unsolved, with investigators having little more than a name missing from a file. Today, a rapidly developing field known as forensic genetic genealogy is changing that.
In “Naming the Nameless: Forensic Genealogy and Cold Case Justice,” internationally recognized genealogist and human identification expert Eric Schubert of ES Genealogy, as seen on Good Morning America, People Magazine, and more, will explore how DNA analysis, family tree research, and modern technology are helping investigators identify unknown victims, solve decades-old murders, and return names to those long forgotten. Combining detective work with genealogy, forensic genetic genealogy has transformed criminal investigations and captured national attention through cases once thought impossible to solve.
The lecture will examine how these investigations work behind the scenes, from extracting DNA and building family trees to narrowing down suspects and identifying unidentified persons. Schubert will also discuss the ethical questions, challenges, and emotional impact that come with this emerging field, both for investigators and for families searching for answers.
Through past case examples from ES Genealogy and personal insight, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how science, history, and human stories intersect in the search for justice. Whether you are interested in true crime, genealogy, forensic science, or the power of modern technology to uncover the past, this lecture offers a compelling look into one of the most significant developments in criminal investigation in recent years.
Eric Schubert, ES Genealogy, is an internationally recognized genealogist and genetic genealogist. His journey helping individuals through genealogy began at the age of ten and has led to countless family reunifications. He assisted in solving several cold cases across the country in groundbreaking partnerships with state and local police, the youngest individual to ever do so. These cases include Marise Chiverella which remains the oldest cold case ever solved through this technology in Pennsylvania, Lee Rotatori, and Edna Laughman. For this, Schubert has been featured multiple times on shows like A&E’s Cold Case Files, Bloodline Detectives, and On The Case With Paula Zahn. Other features include People Magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Good Morning America, and more.
