THE DNA OF MURDER WITH PAUL HOLES 7 p.m. on Oxygen. After spending more than two decades trying to catch the Golden State Killer, Paul Holes, an investigator with the Contra Costa County district attorney’s office, finally got a break in the case when he thought to combine DNA collected at the crime scenes with genealogy websites. The innovative scheme, which involved creating an undercover profile on GEDmatch under a pseudonym, led to the arrest of Joseph James DeAngelo. Holes has since retired, but he’s gone on to use his expertise to help with existing cold cases as a co-host on the podcast “The Murder Squad,” and now with his own TV show. On “The DNA of Murder,” Holes gives true crime fans a behind-the-scenes look at how he approaches cases, aiding law enforcement agencies with unsolved crimes. On the series premiere, he’ll look into a bludgeoning murder at an Iowa Holiday Inn from 1980.
