Anne Marie is joined by the parents of Jodi Serrin, a 39 year-old victim of sexual assault and murder from 2007. While a cold case for more than 10 years, it was DNA technology that ultimately brought her killer to justice after he committed suicide. San Diego District Attorney, Summer Stephan, highlights the work of the San Diego Police Department's cold case division with 43 year veteran Anthony Meli. Collectively, they share the impacts of horrific crimes, like the Barbara Beck case, on the San Diego communities and how advancements in forensics are changing investigations dating back to the 1960's.
