Show Notes

One of your family members could be missing, and your DNA could help find them. 

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

In this episode, Jodie takes us through exactly what the program did and how it's helped track down and identify hundreds of missing Australians.
