DNA Doesn't Lie: The Atkinson and Derrick Todd Lee Cases | Double Feature | Forensic Factor

Two cases. One scientific revolution. From the boiler rooms of Toronto to the streets of Louisiana, discover how DNA profiling turned the tide on "unsolvable" crimes. In this double feature, we dive into two chilling installments of forensic history. First, we revisit the 1991 murder of Andrea Atkinson. We explore how investigators used acoustic testing to solve the mystery of a "silent" crime scene and how early DNA profiling narrowed four suspects down to one. Then, we head to Baton Rouge to track the hunt for Derrick Todd Lee. Known as the "South Louisiana Serial Killer," Lee terrorized a university town, proving that even the most elusive predators leave a microscopic trail.
