DNA testing has provided the biggest revolution in the identification of criminals since the adoption of fingerprinting in the early part of last century. Still, the technology has limitations. Most genetic tests take 24-72 hours but the time taken for DNA to go from crime scene to identification can span as long as 14 days. By the time that the results are back, the suspects often have been released.
The investigation time depends on how serious the allegation is. Investigations can take a week or they can take 18 to 24 months. Our office has seen at least two particularly long investigations. One was 14 months long, and another was over 18 months long. The first case was a financial fraud case, and the second was sexual assault and child pornography.
