Cece Moore, a pioneer in genetic genealogy, explained that in modern America, avoiding detection is nearly impossible for serial offenders due to the widespread availability and use of DNA databases. The forensic team successfully matched the DNA from the crime scene to Coberger through his DNA sample, obtained via a cheek swab during the investigation.

Coberger’s case showcases the remarkable progress in forensic science, especially genetic genealogy, which has revolutionized criminal investigations. Where once a suspect might evade capture for years, today’s technology ensures that even a tiny DNA trace can lead to conviction.
