Casework Services Programs

Cold Case

Orchid Cellmark's Cold Case program provides testing of evidence from property locker rooms to help solve old crimes.

A Cold Case program can work for you because:

  • DNA is highly stable and remains unaffected when stored in typical property room conditions
  • Even degraded material can usually be successfully tested
  • New technologies may allow success with samples that may not have previously yielded results

The Statistics Pertaining to Cold Cases:

  • Evidence in more than 500,000 cases remains untested
  • More than 220,000 rape kits remain untested
  • 60,000 homicide and violent crime cases are backlogged

What Orchid Cellmark Can Offer:

  • Evidence screening services to assess which pieces of evidence may contain DNA
  • A track record: Orchid Cellmark has obtained DNA results in thousands of sexual assault cold cases
  • A full panel of DNA technologies to achieve results in the maximum number of cases
