New DNA technology can ID victims in hours, rather than months

Orange County Deputies now have a new tool to help them identify people through their DNA.

It’s called the Rapid DNA System, or ANDE for short.

It can cut down the time it takes to make a positive DNA match, from months to only hours.

The system proved effective after a recent fiery car crash on Narcossee Road, where the victim was unidentifiable, and her mother couldn't get her body back until she was positively identified.
