08/18/2020 I love this show. It's gratifying to see people brought to justice after decades. Real people, real cases. Cece is gifted. See more 08/08/2020 It was captivating and awesome. I told everyone about it. They liked it too. So sad that it suddenly vanished. Looked forward to it. See more 07/19/2020 If you are looking for a routine whodunnit, have a short attention span, or prefer fiction, then this show probably isn't for you. This show is about something different, something new, and something real. Citizen scientists like CeCe Moore have pioneered the use of genetic genealogy to identify unknown subjects over the past decade. Law enforcement is playing catch up now, and fortunately for the real families of real victims and potential future victims some detectives are not too embarrassed to ask for help. I feel privileged to watch this forensic science development unfolding up close and personal. And yes it is personal. The show's title character is an ordinary citizen doing extraordinary things, a real person with a real history and a real family, and we get a glimpse of that. I have watched all six episodes and my only complaint is I want more. See more 07/13/2020 I LOVED this show! Please don't cancel!! See more 07/08/2020 Loved this show! Hope to see more! See more 07/06/2020 I started doing genealogy years ago. I did pretty well at it. Studied shortcuts and tricks to dig out information on. And I love mysteries and ferreting out information. Now people come to me to investigate people through public records,government records, newspapers and websites. See more Read all reviews
