About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode The Cigarette from The Snare centers on a single, pressing question: could DNA evidence, tucked away in storage for decades, finally lead police to an answer? The episode focuses on this piece of forensic evidence and what it might mean for a case that has waited years for resolution. Rather than offering a full account of the case's history, the episode narrows in on this specific piece of physical evidence and the hope it represents for investigators looking back at material that sat untested for a long stretch of time.
