Show Notes

One of your family members could be missing, and your DNA could help find them. The AFP is putting out a call to the general public to help solve cold cases that have police them for decades. 

Associate Professor Jodie Ward is the Program Lead of the National DNA Program for Unidentified and Missing Persons at the Australian Federal Police. Funded by the Confiscated Assets Account, the program is a nationwide effort to find, or identify people who are unaccounted for.

Understand it all with host Kathryn Fox, as Jodie takes her through exactly what the program does and how it's helping track down and identify hundreds of missing Australians. 

If you think someone you know is missing, call the police on 000 or visit this link.
