How the DNA expert from Netflix’s ‘I Just Killed My Dad’ reunites families — starting with her own

nypost.com:

Shayna Landry helped save Louisiana teenager Anthony Templet from life in prison after the 17-year-old shot and killed his father, the dogged investigator had one hell of a practice run — the search for her own biological father.

Landry, 35, who says she never closes a case until it’s solved, is featured in the new Netflix docuseries “I Just Killed My Dad,” for her role in locating Templet’s biological mother, Teresa Thompson, 12 years after he was kidnapped from his home in Houston, Texas.

Teresa’s groundbreaking revelations helped shed light on the years of abuse Anthony endured by his father leading up to that fateful night in 2019 when Anthony grabbed two guns to protect himself, shooting his dad Burt in the head and torso before calling 911.

Since the docuseries dropped on Aug. 9, fans have flooded Landry’s DMs, hoping she’ll help find their lost loved ones, or crack their own unsolved family mysteries. “I felt like I was just a blip in the show, but I’ve been getting contacted by phone, text and email — hundreds of emails in the last week,” Landry, who works as a civil engineer in Baton Rouge by day, and a licensed PI in her free time, told The Post.
