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.

The Mega Edition:  Celebrities Knew When To Leave Diddy's Parties And Will There Be A Diddy List (8/19/25)

The Mega Edition: Celebrities Knew When To Leave Diddy's Parties And Will There Be A Diddy List (8/19/25)

At Sean "Diddy" Combs' infamous parties, celebrities became accustomed to certain signals that marked when it was time to leave before the night's activities spiraled into more debauched territory. Insiders revealed that around 2 to 3 a.m., the atmosphere at the parties began to shift dramatically. One clear indication that things were about to escalate was when young women would start shedding their clothes. For many high-profile attendees, this was the moment to discreetly exit.Those who stayed beyond this point encountered increasingly wild behavior, including drug use, explicit sexual activities, and the presence of sex workers willing to fulfill any request. Parties would continue into the early morning hours, often lasting until 7 a.m. According to sources, the atmosphere after 2 a.m. paled in comparison to the more extreme activities that would take place as the night progressed​.These parties have come under intense scrutiny following Diddy's arrest and the flood of allegations against him. Attorney Tony Buzbee, representing over 120 accusers, described the events as days-long drug-fueled sex parties, with some participants coerced into performing acts for blackmail purposes. The lawsuits, which involve both male and female victims, include accusations from individuals who were minors at the time​.As more victims come forward, the infamous nature of these gatherings—long an open secret in Hollywood—has been laid bare, with many former guests distancing themselves from Diddy amidst the mounting legal actions​.In our Second segment...Comedian Jeff Wittek recently shared his experience at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs' infamous parties during a discussion on his podcast, Jeff FM. Wittek described attending a "freak-off" party at a Miami mansion in 2010, which he originally thought was going to be a normal event. However, he quickly realized it was anything but ordinary when his then-girlfriend and her friend showed up in revealing lingerie.Wittek recounted witnessing "live sex" for the first time in his life, which shocked him. Although he did not participate, he admitted to getting drunk at the party. He described the mansion as sprawling and multi-leveled, with the atmosphere becoming stranger the higher he went. Wittek also mentioned that this party was one of many similar events Diddy hosted, which have since become part of the legal case against the music mogul, who faces numerous allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering.(commercial at 17:37)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs' party guests left before things took turn (pagesix.com)Comedian Jeff Wittek saw 'live sex' at 'f--king crazy' Sean 'Diddy' Combs party filled with scantily clad women (pagesix.com)Attorney Tony Buzbee has recently revealed that the ongoing lawsuits against Sean "Diddy" Combs will expose a "long list" of additional accomplices.

He emphasized that his legal team is being meticulous in vetting the accusations to ensure accuracy before exposing these individuals.

Bryan Kohberger's Legal Team Goes All In To Get Capital Punishment Removed

Bryan Kohberger's Legal Team Goes All In To Get Capital Punishment Removed

Bryan Kohberger, accused of the November 2022 stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students, is scheduled for a court appearance today in Boise, Idaho. His defense team has filed motions to suppress key evidence, arguing that the use of Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG) violated his constitutional rights. They contend that law enforcement's application of IGG, which involves using DNA from public genealogy databases to identify potential suspects, was conducted without proper warrants, rendering the subsequent evidence inadmissible. Additionally, the defense claims that search warrants for Kohberger's phone, car, and residences were obtained through misleading information presented to the court.In a broader strategy to remove the death penalty as a potential sentence, Kohberger's attorneys have previously argued that capital punishment violates contemporary standards of decency and international treaties against prisoner torture. They also assert that prolonged periods on death row constitute cruel and unusual punishment. However, these arguments were rejected by the court in November 2024, allowing the death penalty to remain on the table if Kohberger is convicted.   The outcome of today's hearing could significantly impact the admissibility of critical evidence and the overall trajectory of the case as it moves toward trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger looks to dodge death penalty with Lori Vallow's playbook | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Murder In Moscow: The IGG Closed Hearing Transcripts (Part 14)

On January 23, 2025, a closed hearing was held in the case of State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger before Judge Steven Hippler. The primary focus was the defense's motion to suppress evidence obtained through Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG), which they argued violated Kohberger's Fourth Amendment rights. Detective Brett Payne testified that the IGG lead was treated as a tip, with further independent investigation conducted to substantiate its validity. Defense expert Dr. Leah Larkin suggested potential violations of FBI policy and genealogy database terms of service during the IGG process. However, Judge Hippler expressed skepticism regarding the defense's claims, noting the lack of a reasonable expectation of privacy for DNA left at a crime scene.Following the hearing, Judge Hippler ordered the release of a redacted transcript, balancing public interest with privacy concerns. Redactions included the names of surviving roommates and distant relatives identified through IGG. The unsealed portions provide insight into the investigative methods used and the defense's challenges to the evidence's admissibility. This development underscores the ongoing legal debates surrounding the use of IGG in criminal investigations and its implications for privacy and constitutional rights.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:KB-25-01-23-Hearing-Redacted.eclBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Accountability for Thee, Not for Me: Epstein, Stacey Plaskett, and the Media Blackout (Part 2 ) (8/19/25)

The silence surrounding Stacey Plaskett’s lawsuit by Epstein survivors exposes the staggering hypocrisy of both lawmakers and the legacy media. Politicians who pound the table about justice and accountability fall mute when the accusations land inside their own chamber. Journalists who dissect every lurid detail of Epstein’s life suddenly find no headlines when survivors point to a sitting member of Congress. This selective outrage isn’t oversight—it’s complicity. Survivors are abandoned the moment their stories threaten insiders, and the system shows once again that accountability is conditional, not principled.That selective accountability corrodes credibility and turns justice into theater. By politicizing the scandal, lawmakers use survivors as pawns while letting the real villains—Epstein’s network of enablers—slip quietly back into the shadows. The result is a collapse of trust: citizens see investigations as performance, predators learn power protects power, and survivors are betrayed all over again. Epstein may be dead and Maxwell imprisoned, but the system that shielded them is alive and well—sustained by cowardice, silence, and the hypocrisy of institutions that pretend to defend justice while practicing selective blindness.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
