DNA: MY SON DIED WITH DOUBTS is the 43rd episode of the 14th season of The Steve Wilkos Show. In this emotional and heart-wrenching episode, Steve Wilkos helps a mother and son confront a tragic loss and uncover the truth about paternity.
The episode opens with Steve introducing his guests, a mother named Erika and her son Jeremy. Erika explains that her son Graham recently passed away at the young age of 22, and that before he died, he had doubts about whether Jeremy was his biological father.
Erika tearfully tells Steve that Graham's doubts weighed heavily on him in the months leading up to his death, and that she promised him she would help him find the truth. She reveals that Graham had taken a DNA test before he died, but they were unsure of how to interpret the results.
Jeremy admits that he had a relationship with Erika around the time of Graham's conception, but that he was not sure if he was the father. He tells Steve that he has always been there for Graham, despite the doubts about his paternity.
Steve brings out a DNA expert to help Erika and Jeremy understand the results of Graham's DNA test. The expert explains that the test shows a 99.99% probability that Jeremy is Graham's biological father.
Erika and Jeremy are both emotional as they absorb the news, and they hug each other and cry tears of relief. Steve congratulates them on finally having an answer and urges them to continue to support each other through this difficult time.
The second half of the episode focuses on a woman named Angie and her sister-in-law Amber, who are at odds over the paternity of Angie's daughter. Angie believes that her husband, Amber's brother, is the father of her daughter, but Amber insists that Angie cheated on her brother and that the paternity is in question.
Steve brings out an expert to help Angie and Amber understand the results of a paternity test. The expert reveals that there is a zero percent chance that Angie's husband is the father of her daughter, and that the most likely candidate is a man named John, whom Angie had a brief relationship with before she became pregnant.
Angie is devastated by the news and bursts into tears. She tells Steve that she never meant to hurt her husband or her family and that she has been living with guilt and shame for years. Steve offers her words of comfort and urges her to be honest with her husband and her daughter about the situation.
