California Expands DNA Search for Missing | Sacramento News
Description
California just upgraded its Missing Persons DNA Program, now allowing DNA databases to identify any unidentified victim — alive or dead — a massive leap forward for solving both fresh and cold cases. Championed by Assemblymember James Ramos, the law removes outdated barriers like the “high-risk” requirement, keeps familial DNA samples longer for future matches, and equips coroners and law enforcement with faster, more accessible forensic tools. Attorney General Rob Bonta stressed that no family should live in prolonged uncertainty — this law is about delivering justice, answers, and peace to grieving loved ones.
