Bryan Kohberger's Legal Team Brings Aboard A Genealogist To Challenge The DNA Evidence

Bryan Kohberger's Legal Team Brings Aboard A Genealogist To Challenge The DNA Evidence

Genetic genealogy is a field that combines traditional genealogy research with modern DNA testing techniques to trace familial relationships and ancestry through genetic information. It involves analyzing an individual's DNA to uncover their genetic heritage, connect with distant relatives, and map out family trees. This approach has gained significant popularity due to advancements in DNA sequencing technology, particularly in the form of direct-to-consumer DNA testing kits.Here's how genetic genealogy works and how it's used by investigators:
  1. DNA Testing: Individuals interested in exploring their genetic heritage and family history can submit their DNA samples through services provided by companies like AncestryDNA, 23andMe, and MyHeritageDNA. These companies analyze specific segments of the submitted DNA to identify genetic markers that are common among different populations and individuals.
  2. Genetic Markers: Certain sections of the DNA, particularly those found in the Y chromosome (passed from father to son) and the mitochondrial DNA (passed from mother to all offspring), contain genetic markers that can be used to identify ancestral lineages. Autosomal DNA, which is inherited from both parents, is also examined to find matches with other individuals in the testing company's database.
  3. Matching and Comparison: Testing companies compare an individual's genetic markers with those of other users in their databases. If two individuals share a significant amount of genetic material, they are considered genetic matches. The more segments of DNA they share, the closer their relationship is likely to be.
  4. Building Family Trees: Genetic genealogy involves constructing family trees using a combination of traditional genealogical research and the information gained from DNA matches. By connecting with other users who share segments of DNA, individuals can extend their family trees and discover new branches of their lineage.
  5. Identifying Common Ancestors: As more people participate in DNA testing, the chances of finding common ancestors increase. Overlapping segments of shared DNA can help identify specific ancestors or ancestral groups that are shared among related individuals.
  6. Forensic and Investigative Applications: Genetic genealogy has also found applications in criminal investigations. Law enforcement agencies have used DNA databases to identify unknown perpetrators of crimes like murder and sexual assault. In cases where traditional investigative methods have been unsuccessful, investigators can upload DNA profiles from crime scenes to genealogy databases and identify potential relatives of the suspect based on shared genetic markers.
  7. Building Family Trees for Identification: Once potential relatives of the suspect are identified, investigators work to build family trees using genealogical records, such as birth certificates, marriage records, and obituaries. By tracing the shared ancestry of these relatives, law enforcement can narrow down the list of potential suspects to a smaller pool.
  8. Narrowing Down Suspects: Investigative genetic genealogy can help law enforcement focus on specific individuals who fit the profile of the unknown suspect based on age, location, and other relevant factors. This process has led to the successful identification and capture of suspects in several high-profile cases.




Bryan Kohberger's defense team has brought on Leah Larkin, a well respected genealogist to challenge the findings made by the prosecution during the DNA portion of the investigation. She will look to punch holes in the DNA evidence provided by the FBI and Moscow police and hopefully, from the defenses standpoint, provide a narrative that differs from the one presented by the prosecution.

Morning Update:   Judge Berman Denies The DOJ's Request To Unseal Maxwell Grand Jury Documents (8/21/25)

Morning Update: Judge Berman Denies The DOJ's Request To Unseal Maxwell Grand Jury Documents (8/21/25)

The third judge has now denied the Trump administration’s request to release Epstein’s grand jury documents, and while it’s being spun as a setback, the truth is the administration knew this was coming all along. Grand jury materials are sealed by design, and no court was going to break decades of precedent. The request was never about actually getting those documents—it was about making a move that was guaranteed to fail, so the administration could later point to the denial as proof that the system had tied their hands. In other words, the loss was baked into the strategy from the start.Now the denial has become the centerpiece of a carefully scripted narrative. The administration and its allies are out in force, claiming they sought transparency only to be blocked by the courts, painting themselves as victims of a cover-up. But the truth is, if they truly wanted the Epstein files exposed, there were other levers of power they could have pulled. Instead, they opted for a performative stunt designed to fail, knowing the denial would hand them a scapegoat. It’s political theater masquerading as justice, and while the spin benefits them, the victims remain forgotten and the truth stays buried.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Judge declines to unseal grand jury material in Jeffrey Epstein case - CBS NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Murder In Moscow:  Bryan Kohberger Is Being Threatened By Fellow Inmates (8/21/25)

Murder In Moscow: Bryan Kohberger Is Being Threatened By Fellow Inmates (8/21/25)

Bryan Kohberger, who is serving four consecutive life sentences at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution (IMSI), has filed formal complaints detailing verbal threats and sexual harassment shortly after his transfer to J‑Block in late July. In a handwritten note dated July 30, he described being subjected to minute‑by‑minute harassment and asked to be moved to the quieter B‑Block. Five days later, on August 4, he submitted another complaint specifically citing crude sexual remarks from fellow inmates—one allegedly told him, “I’ll b--- f-- you,” while another quipped, “The only a-- we’ll be eating is Kohberger’s.” A guard confirmed hearing vulgar language directed at him, though could not identify the speaker, and Kohberger’s transfer request has been denied, with officials noting he reportedly still “feels safe to remain on tier 2 in J‑Block.”Beyond these direct threats, reports indicate psychological harassment is already taking a toll. Inmates are reportedly taunting Kohberger continuously—including yelling through the vents in his cell—which has disrupted his sleep and mental well‑being. Despite being housed alone, the relentless nature of the harassment has prompted multiple complaints to prison staff. Authorities have acknowledged the taunting but maintain that security and order are being upheld, stating that verbal interactions among inmates are common and that Kohberger remains in a safe environment..to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Kohberger complaints rise in first month of prison in Idaho | Idaho StatesmanBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Did Jeffrey Epstein Pay The College Tuition For The Child Of The Former First Lady Of The USVI? (8/21/25)

Did Jeffrey Epstein Pay The College Tuition For The Child Of The Former First Lady Of The USVI? (8/21/25)

In 2011, court filings from JPMorgan revealed that Jeffrey Epstein—already a registered sex offender—paid a $25,000 tuition bill at Skidmore College for one of Cecile de Jongh’s children, upon her direct request via email subject‑lined “Please approve.” This was no act of charity; this was influence-peddling in plain sight. At the same time, de Jongh was coordinating policy to benefit Epstein, soliciting his input on softening a sex‑offender law to allow him freer movement within the territory. By drawing up legislation that Epstein could personally exploit while cashing in on his largesse, de Jongh blurred the line between public service and private profiteering.Moreover, the tuition payment fits into a broader pattern of de Jongh being Epstein’s political and logistical conduit in the U.S. Virgin Islands. JPMorgan labeled her as his “primary conduit for spreading money and influence” within the territory, citing other ways she facilitated his trafficking network—from arranging visas to crafting cover‑class schemes.^1 The tuition bill is far less an isolated favor and far more an emblem of how Epstein weaponized connections with public officials to shield his abuse. De Jongh’s actions weren’t innocent oversights—they were integral to maintaining a corrupt system of protection and impunity.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein had close ties to U.S. Virgin Islands First Family | FortuneBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition: How Jeffrey Epstein Tried To Slide His Tentacles Into The 2016 Trump Campaign (8/21/25)

Jeffrey Epstein was a man who got around New York city and it didn't matter what political party you belonged to. All that mattered to him was that you were willing to play ball. Unfortunately for the rest of us, there were plenty of people who were willing to sell their soul to increase their power or status, even if that meant ignoring what and who Jeffrey Epstein was. Afterall, the only sin in that world is the sin of being poor. In this episode we dive into the new article from The Wall Street journal about two of the top bundlers for the Trump campaign in 2016 and their connection to Jeffrey Epstein.

Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell Motion For Rule 45 Sanctions Against Virginia Roberts (Part 3-4) (8/21/25)

In October 2020, Ghislaine Maxwell filed a combined memorandum opposing Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s request to extend the deposition deadline and, separately, moved for sanctions under Federal Rule 45. Maxwell argued that Giuffre served subpoenas in ways that directly violated Rule 45(a)(4), which requires timely pre-notice to all parties before serving a non‑party subpoena for documents. Specifically, Maxwell noted that Giuffre attempted to subpoena witnesses—such as Jeffrey Epstein, Sarah Kellen, and Nadia Marcincova—without providing proper advance notice to the defense, including issuing subpoenas before notifying Maxwell’s counselMaxwell framed this as part of a broader pattern of bad‑faith discovery tactics: she emphasized that Giuffre squandered the discovery period, failed to diligently schedule depositions, and attempted to secure depositions well past the court‑ordered cutoff without showing good cause. In support, she detailed her own efforts to coordinate schedules and comply with rules, contrasted with Giuffre’s “last‑minute scramble,” and urged the court to reject the extension of deadlines and impose sanctions under Rule 45 and Rule 37 for the procedural violationsto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.447706.1137.19.pdf (free.law)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
