The Hampden District Attorney’s Office was the first in the state to utilize cutting-edge DNA phenotyping technology to provide law enforcement with the ability to generate leads and narrow down suspect lists. Phenotyping is a process of predicting physical appearance and ancestry from DNA evidence. With this technology, it is possible to produce a composite sketch of a suspect who has been previously unknown to law enforcement.
