A woman’s Ancestry DNA kit solved a nearly 30-year-old cold case, but it resulted in her grandmother facing a possible life sentence in prison.

TikTok user Jenna recently went viral after she explained how the results of her Ancestry DNA kit led to her grandmother’s arrest. She began her video with a bit of background on her family, noting that she “never met [her] grandmother” and “didn’t even know her name” until she was about 15.
