District Attorney Marian Ryan, in partnership with Forensic Science Specialist Dr. Claire Glynn and Newton Mayor Ruthanne Fuller, is hosting a DNA Drive Day to assist in missing and unidentified persons cases. Members of the public are invited to attend and voluntarily take a free FamilyTree DNA test on-site. Participants' DNA will be uploaded to FamilyTree DNA and GEDmatch, which are genetic genealogy databases used to assist investigations. Participants will receive a genetic ancestry report. Family members of missing people are encouraged to attend. Must be 18 or older to participate, please bring identification. 

Providing your DNA is voluntary. Learn more and view the DNA Informed Consent Agreement here.
