DNA identification made with information from a public genealogy database helped California authorities arrest Joseph James DeAngelo as a suspect in the high-profile Golden State Killer case earlier this year. The same system led to an arrest of suspect Roy Charles Waller in the NorCal Rapist case last month.

Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert joins Insight to talk about the new technology and how it's helping solve crimes in California.
