His DNA Solved A Century-Old Jailhouse Rape. The Victim: His Grandmother.
Commercial DNA tests showed that Hiram and Bruce were related. But their link proved to be much deeper — and darker — than either could have imagined.
Hasnain says:
This was such a page turner - a human interest story that goes into American history, the prison system and a bit of slavery. Packaged with modern DNA testing.
"Hiram’s family secret was more dramatic than most. But DNA tests are unearthing all kinds of long-buried truths. Studies suggest that roughly 2% of people don’t know the true identity of their biological father — a “non-paternity event” in genealogy jargon."
