## Resource

Authorities recently apprehended Jancys Santiago for his alleged involvement in two unsolved sexual assault cases from over two decades ago in New York City. Investigators utilized Investigative Genetic Genealogy, a sophisticated technique that cross-references crime scene evidence with consumer DNA databases to build familial profiles. This breakthrough allowed police to link the suspect to a 2000 assault in Manhattan and a 2001 attack in the Bronx. Detectives ultimately confirmed the match by covertly collecting a DNA sample from a discarded water bottle in Florida. This case represents a historic milestone as the first time this advanced forensic technology was used to resolve cold-case rapes in the state. Santiago has since been extradited to New York to face multiple criminal charges.
