Minnesota cold-case suspect alleges constitutional violations in DNA database search Private services intended for individuals to conduct genealogical research have increasingly been used by police and researchers to crack long-unsolved crimes, but the tactics present legal issues that have never before been litigated in Minnesota. 10:23 am, Jul. 1, 2021 × Michael Carbo Jr. VIRGINIA, Minn.
