CeCe Moore is an American genetic genealogist, who has been described as the country's foremost such entrepreneur. She uses her unique research skills to solve crimes. Working with police departments and crime scene DNA, she traces the genetic path of a violent criminal's family tree through relative's DNA to reveal their identity and help bring them to justice. She has reportedly helped law enforcement agencies in identifying suspects in over 300 cold cases using DNA and genetic genealogy. She has appeared on many TV shows and worked as a genetic genealogy researcher for others such as Finding Your Roots. In May 2020, she began appearing in a prime time ABC television series called The Genetic Detective in which each episode recounts a cold case she helped solve. She has appeared on many TV shows such as 20/20, Dateline NBC, 48 Hours, The Doctors, The Dr. Oz Show, CBS This Morning, The Today Show, Good Morning America, NBC Nightly News, and CBS 60 Minutes. She has been the genetic genealogy expert for Finding Your Roots since 2012 and heads the Parabon NanoLabs genetic genealogical unit. In addition to her television work, she is known for pioneering the genetic genealogy methodologies used by adoptees and others of unknown origin for identifying biological family. ​From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
