Fitzpatrick coined the term forensic genealogy. She had started writing a book about forensic genealogy in 2002, and after no publishers would accept it, she self-published the book in 2005. She started selling her book at genealogy conferences. She set up a corresponding website, and started writing columns on the topic for magazines and websites. In 2006, Hebron Investments asked her to find a missing person because someone wanted to buy land, but the title owner could not be found. This led to her trying to locate owners in 75 cases (of which she found 73) in 30 countries. Her next venture, Identifinders International, uses the techniques of forensic genealogy to find missing people. In 2007 she helped identify the body of a child about two years old that died in the 1912 Titanic disaster as Sidney Leslie Goodwin from England, aged 19 months, whose family had died the wreck and had relatives in New Zealand. In 2008 she helped identify the remains found in the wreckage of Northwest Flight 4422 that crashed in Alaska in 1948. That same year she helped expose Misha Defonseca’s book “Misha: A Memoire of the Holocaust “as a fraud. In 2020 Identifinders International and The Porchlight Project helped Ohio police identify James Zastawnick as a suspect in the 1987 murder by strangulation of 17-year-old Barbara Blatnik.

In 2018 and 2019, she helped Rapid City, South Dakota police with the case of the rape and murder by strangulation of 60-year-old Gwen Miller in 1968. Using Y-DNA, Fitzpatrick narrowed the possible suspects down to 6-7 men with the surname Field. Local police were then able to identify Eugene Field as the prime suspect. Field had already died in 2009 from cancer.
