Sgt. Celestina Rossi is a Crime Scene Investigator at Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office in Conroe, Texas with over 21 years of law enforcement experience. She is also the President of the International Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts. Meanwhile, Detective Fadi Rizk is also an officer at the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and is a member of the Cold Case Squad, responsible for all cold case investigations assisting MCSO detectives, Country and District Attorneys, as well as other law enforcement agencies.

In this podcast series, Sgt. Celestina Rossi and Detective Fazi Rizk join Jared Bradley to talk about a recently solved cold case involving the abduction and murder of then 12-year-old Lesia Jackson in 1979. They discuss their investigative work on the case and shared details on the events leading up to her abduction and subsequent murder, and how M-Vac helped in finally solving the case 43 years later.

DNA technology has come a long way since Lesia Jackson's murder in 1979. At the time, DNA was not an investigative tool, and the case went cold for many years. However, with the advancement of DNA technology, it has become a powerful investigative tool that can help solve crimes. 

DNA collection machines like the M-Vac Systems helped to solve many cases that would have otherwise gone unsolved. It is an invaluable and powerful tool that can help law enforcement bring justice to victims. However, it is important to remember that it is not a panacea and that it is only one part of the investigative process.

Takeaways

1. DNA technology is a powerful investigative tool.
2. Crime still lurks in rural areas.
3. Remain vigilant and alert in public.
