Cassandra Preslar

Cassandra “Cassy” Preslar serves as Director of Client Experience at DNA Labs International, where she is a strategic partner to law enforcement agencies and forensic laboratories nationwide. Acting as a critical bridge between public agencies and the private lab, Cassy drives clear communication, accelerates decision-making, and helps agencies move cases forward with confidence—whether active investigations or decades-old cold cases.

With deep expertise in advanced forensic DNA methodologies, Cassy leads high-level case reviews that transform complex case histories and evidence inventories into actionable, results-driven testing strategies. She works closely with agencies to design fully customized plans that maximize evidentiary value and align with investigative goals. Her command of cutting-edge capabilities—including forensic genetic genealogy, MVAC collection, and spent shell casing analysis—positions agencies to leverage the most advanced tools available from the outset.
​

Known for her strategic insight and client-first approach, Cassy plays a pivotal role in helping agencies generate leads, unlock critical DNA evidence, and achieve meaningful breakthroughs. Her work directly supports faster resolutions, stronger cases, and the pursuit of justice in even the most challenging investigations.
