This is a long YouTube video discussion of the Long Island Serial Killer (LISK)/Gilgo Beach serial murders. Othram Labs, Inc. has been instrumental in identifying victims who were previously unidentified in this case. Listen to Dr. Kristen Mittelman, Chief Development Officer of Othram describe the groundbreaking work done by them in victim i.d. cases and also very difficult cold cases with degraded and/or contaminated evidence.

Why won’t the MSP submit ALL of the evidence in the OCCK case to Othram? Why is the OCCK case exempt from the kinds of inquiries that take place in virtually every other cold case across the country? A case with four child victims, who were held captive before their murders days later? Are they less important?
The response is always a non sequitur: We don’t allow use of a third party lab. We don’t have permission to use a third party lab in this case. The state lab and the FBI have already run “all of the tests” (as Dr. Mittelman explains, their labs are incapable of performing the kinds of tests needed here). All of the evidence has already been tested. Evidence has been extinguished during testing. The dog ate my evidence.
The MSP HAS partnered with Othram to solve a cold case. https://dnasolves.com/articles/michigan-murder-cathy-swartz-1988/. So tell me (and the public) again why the evidence in the OCCK case (all of it) can’t be submitted to Othram?
