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.
Mobile users can watch a video of the new Rapid DNA System here.
