Edmonton city police note that back in 2016, the Sexual Assault Section initiated a review of historical sexual assault files to identify those that would be suitable for further investigation. Historical Crimes Unit detectives continue to work through these files. From 2018 to date, members of the unit have reviewed or completed investigations on 126 files. Charges have been laid in nine of the investigations and charges are also pending in one additional investigation.
Since 2018, Edmonton city police have used investigative genetic genealogy in five cases, including three sexual assaults, one armed robbery and one human remains investigation. To date, the 1981 investigation is the only file using this technology that has resulted in charges. Currently, only two publicly available genetic databases, FamilyTreeDNA and GEDMatch, permit law enforcement to conduct searches, all limited to serious crimes. Both websites require users to either agree to a terms of service or “opt in” to terms that allow their DNA profile to be included in law enforcement searches.
