What is FIGG?
Genetic Genealogy combines DNA testing with traditional genealogical and historical records to determine relationships between individuals. Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy utilizes this method to identify unknown DNA for crime scene DNA and Unidentified Human Remains (UHR).
Choosing Your Case(s)
Is your case the type of case that qualifies for FIGG? Have you uploaded an STR profile into CODIS with no hit? These questions (and a few more) are ones you'll need the answers to as you move forward with FIGG. Our Team can assist with this and has experience with choosing the most viable cases and moving them through the FIGG process.
The Lab Process
We work with a number of accredited labs for both STR (if needed) and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS). If you would like to handle the lab quotes/process and then hand it off to us OR let us collect quotes for you and assist from start to finish, we can adjust to your requirements.
Uploading to Allowable Databases
There are currently 3 allowable databases for Law Enforcement to use for their cases: GEDmatch PRO, FTDNA and DNA Justice. We work in all three.
The FIGG Work
At this stage, the actual FIGG work begins. Cases have an investigative lead in days, weeks, months and in some cases it can take much longer. However, at CCC we actively work, make recommendations, and monitor every case until resolution.
Reporting
Upon confirmation of a candidate, we issue a final report with our research and findings.
FIGG Resources
Understanding the FIGG Process & Terminology
FIGG is an emerging field and can be a bit of an unknown. In response to this, we created resources for our LE partners to help better understand the workflow, terminology and expectations while navigating the FIGG process.
