About this listen
You might not know the name Othram, but if you’re the family of a victim looking for resolution, or a detective haunted by a case you just couldn’t solve, Othram is your best hope. The cutting edge company uses a fraction of the DNA needed by other services to solve cases, and they’re specialists at filtering out noise from a sample– whether it’s identifying remains from ashes in a burnt down house or identifying DNA in a vat of sewage. The crimes are horrific, but the science is stunning: the company has closed the book on everything from high-profile serial killings to 60-year old cold cases; they’ve helped the military identify sons and daughters unidentifiable on the battlefield, and they’ve reunited branches of families that had long ago lost hope. And they’re just getting started.
Each week, we meet weary detectives and family members as we run through a cold case that had wrecked a community and seemingly hit a dead end… until, in a last ditch effort, the evidence is mailed to Othram. Then we ride along as the team uses revolutionary techniques to extract DNA and crack open a decades-old case. Across the show, we spotlight the marvels of the science, but also the peace that victims’ families finally get after decades of anguish looking for answers.
