3 Michigan Cold Cases FINALLY Solved

For decades, these three Michigan murders seemed impossible to solve.

Families waited. Detectives refused to give up. Evidence sat untouched for years. Then advances in DNA technology and forensic genetic genealogy changed everything.

In this episode of Twisted Crimes, Chris takes you through three chilling Michigan cold cases that were finally solved after decades of unanswered questions. You'll hear the heartbreaking stories of Sheri Jo Elliott, Roxanne Wood, and Cathy Swartz. Three victims whose killers believed they had escaped justice forever.

Discover how investigators used cutting-edge DNA science to identify suspects, clear an innocent husband who lived under suspicion for 35 years, and finally provide grieving families with long-awaited answers. Some of these cases were solved using incredibly small DNA samples that experts once believed were impossible to analyze.

These stories are reminders that while justice can be delayed, it is not always denied.
