“DNA is a footprint from God”

Dr. Lavinia B. Masters proudly supports the Forensic Criminal Justice Alliance because its mission aligns with the very heart of her life’s work—ensuring that every survivor has access to truth, justice, and healing. As a survivor whose own rape kit remained untested for more than two decades, Lavinia understands firsthand the cost of delays, barriers, and systemic failures.

The Alliance’s commitment to uniting laboratories, law enforcement, victim advocates, and technology leaders represents the kind of collaborative force needed to end backlogs, strengthen forensic practices, and solve more crimes with DNA.

For Lavinia, DNA is a divine footprint—evidence that speaks when survivors cannot. Supporting FCJA reflects her belief that when we remove barriers, invest in innovation, and work together, we not only solve more cases… we restore dignity, safety, and hope to countless survivors across the nation.

 We are an allied coalition of laboratories, law enforcement, victim's rights advocates, and technology providers who believe in removing existing barriers to solve more crime with DNA.
