June 19, 2026
In this episode of Experience Fulton the Podcast, we sit down with Jimmy Sadler, Chief Investigator with the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office, to discuss a groundbreaking initiative aimed at identifying unidentified decedents dating back to 1970.
Thanks to a $362,000 grant, the Medical Examiner's Office is expanding its efforts to use modern investigative techniques, forensic science, DNA analysis, and genealogy resources to help identify individuals whose names and stories have remained unknown for decades.
Chief Sadler shares how this funding will support ongoing investigations, provide opportunities to revisit cold cases, and most importantly, help reconnect families with answers they may have been seeking for years.
This conversation offers a unique look into the important work happening behind the scenes at the Medical Examiner's Office and the dedication to ensuring that every individual is treated with dignity, respect, and the opportunity to be identified.
Join us as we explore how science, technology, and determination are helping bring closure to families and restoring identities that have been lost to time.
Listen now to learn how Fulton County is working to give names back to the unidentified and answers back to families.
