The Quicky

How reliable is DNA evidence in 2019? What about DNA that was collected 20 or more years ago? Is it possible for you to leave DNA in a place you've never been? We ask those questions as the case against alleged Claremont serial killer Bradley Robert Edwards is before the court, police and the victim's families hoping to finally get closure on the deaths of Sarah Spiers, Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon.

We heard a statement this week that after recent devastating bushfires, koalas are now 'functionally extinct' here in Australia... so is that true?
