Reknowned investigator Lindsey Wade, author of the new book "In My DNA: My Career Investigating Your Worst Nightmares" (nominated for a CrimeCon CLUE Award) joins "Mind Over Murder" hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley to discuss the CODIS Gap.  Why are so many offenders, including rapists, murderers and even serial killers not found in the CODIS DNA database? Why does the United States have 50 sets of rules, one for each state, as to how DNA samples are handled and uploaded to CODIS/  How many offenders are slipping through the cracks?
