When DNA leads the way: The introduction of Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy in Sweden and its first use in Europe.

Forensic science international. Genetics - 1 Apr 2026

Fagerholm Siri Aili, Ansell Ricky, Tillmar Andreas

Abstract excerpt

This paper details the first successful use of Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG) in Europe, which was applied to identify a double murder perpetrator in a 16-year-old unsolved case. By integrating advanced SNP typing with genetic genealogy methods, conclusive leads were generated beyond the reach of conventional forensic approaches. By using this case as an illustrative example, we describe how FIGG...
