@justiceforleonlaureles Is there DNA evidence available in Leon’s case?

Was stunned last night to stumble upon the 48 Hours episode about one of the first cases I was involved in last year, the murder of Roxanne Woods. It was such a complex case and almost didn’t get solved 2 or 3 different times. Teamwork made it happen. I learned so much through this experience about bridging gaps in communication on multidisciplinary law-enforcement teams. #forensics #coldcase #genealogy #geneticgenealogy https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/MF2we9IsMx5oAvuCjHFOdGf0seXXSvAy/

Curious : where are the #genealogy / #geneticgenealogy geeks on Mastodon ? Looking for new people to follow on this specific subjects.
Woot! Found you, @taneyakoonce

When I wrote this piece about the #twittermigration of #sciencetwitter last week, #Mastodon had gained 100,000 users since Musk’s purchase of Twitter.
When I updated it a few days ago, it was half a million.
Now, @Gargron just announced that there are 1 million more users.
The speed and scale of this is remarkable and I know that countless people worked hard to manage it. Thank you!

As Musk reshapes Twitter, academics ponder taking flight

Many researchers are setting up profiles on social media site Mastodon

“What About Holly?” is the number one #truecrime #podcast on Spotify today. Great job, Christina Corbin and team at Fox News. Thank you for your diligence.
Scenes from an intimate conversation on the sea wall in Daytona last week on solving #coldcases, #advocacy, and serving the wide ranging needs of survivors. Thanks, Madison. #geneticgenealogy
A nice perk of having an account on http://mastodon.online is that it's hosted in Germany and the rules are you can't post stuff that is illegal in Germany....so no Holocaust denial, no Nazi propaganda or symbols, no hate speech. (Sounds like a MAGA free site to me 😀)
