California has expanded its Missing Persons DNA Program under a new law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. The law, AB 2018, allows the program to identify living unknown individuals and revisit unresolved cases. It also extends the retention period for DNA samples and makes forensic identification resources more accessible to investigators. The expansion aims to help families find answers about their missing loved ones, especially in cases involving the missing and murdered indigenous persons (MMIP).
