From Backlog to Breakthrough - The Murder of Nadia Iverson

Sins & Survivors: A Las Vegas True Crime Podcast

It's easy to think that DNA is the panacea that will solve every cold case. The technology has come mind-blowingly far and has been used to solve many many cases including the murder of Stephanie Isaacson that we covered just a few weeks ago, and of course, DNA and Investigative Genetic Genealogy helped identify the Golden State Killer James DeAngelo in 2018.
That’s not how it worked out initially for Nadia Iverson though. Investigators knew exactly who she was, and it was clear how she was murdered, but for a variety of reasons the case went cold quickly, leaving her family with nothing but questions. It wasn't until 20 years later when Nevada cleaned up the gigantic rape kit analysis backlog that investigators and her family were able to get some answers, and 25 years later before they saw any degree of justice served on her killer.
