Bear Brook

34-year mystery. DNA genealogy breakthrough. Peabody + IRE Award winner.

Bear Cracked a Cold Case Using Forensic Genealogy That Outperforms S-Town's Traditional Methods. Over 34 years, four unidentified bodies in barrels remained a mystery until reporter Jason Moon applied the same DNA phenotyping technology that caught the Golden State Killer. The 6-episode podcast weaves science, psychology, and heartbreak into a masterclass, earning a Peabody and IRE Award, while its concrete closing is 30% faster than the average true crime resolution rate.
