How Genetic Genealogy Was Used To Locate Bryan Kohberger

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 was tracked down by authorities using genealogy according to sources. While the process is not even admissable in court, it is an important tool for investigators who are trying to solve complex cases.


In this episode, we hear from one of the industry leaders in the field of genealogy who is discussing how the process works and what goes into an operation such as this.

Mega Edition: The Order Remanding Jeffrey Epstein To The Care Of The State (Part 1-2) (9/5/25)

In July 2019, following his arrest on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges, Jeffrey Epstein was formally ordered remanded to custody after a detention hearing before Judge Richard Berman. Prosecutors argued that Epstein’s extraordinary wealth, private planes, offshore residences, and history of evading consequences made him an overwhelming flight risk. They also stressed that his release would pose a danger to the community, citing sworn testimony from multiple accusers and evidence that he had used money and influence to obstruct accountability in the past. Despite his defense offering an unprecedented bail package—including $100 million bond, house arrest under armed guard, and electronic monitoring—the court determined that no conditions could ensure his appearance in court or protect the public.Judge Berman’s written order underscored the seriousness of the charges and the strength of the evidence, including testimony that Epstein had sexually abused underage girls and facilitated a broad trafficking network. The court rejected the defense’s argument that strict bail conditions would suffice, ruling instead that the only way to guarantee community safety and secure Epstein’s presence at trial was to deny release altogether. With that, Epstein was remanded to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he would remain in custody until his death a month later.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, has had his appeal to overturn his 2019 life sentence rejected by a U.S. court. Guzman was convicted on charges including drug trafficking, operating a criminal enterprise, and firearms violations. His legal team argued that his trial was unfair due to jury misconduct and the harsh conditions of his solitary confinement, which they claimed impacted his ability to mount a defense.Despite these arguments, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the original verdict, praising the trial judge's management of the high-profile case and rejecting the claims of juror misconduct. The court also dismissed the argument regarding Guzman's solitary confinement, stating it did not infringe on his right to a fair trial.In this episode, we take a look at the DOJ's El Chapo Brief.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Chapo-ca2-us-brief.pdf (courthousenews.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Dahmer Tapes:  Jeffrey Dahmer And The Confession (Part 2) (9/4/25)

The Dahmer Tapes: Jeffrey Dahmer And The Confession (Part 2) (9/4/25)

When Jeffrey Dahmer was finally caught in 1991, his confessions to detectives revealed the full horror of his crimes. He admitted in chilling detail that he had lured men and boys back to his apartment, where he drugged, strangled, and dismembered them. He described how he kept body parts as trophies, including skulls and bones, and in some cases engaged in acts of necrophilia and cannibalism. His willingness to recount these actions without visible remorse shocked investigators, as he openly discussed his urges, rituals, and the escalating compulsion that drove him to kill.Dahmer explained to detectives that he had begun killing in the late 1970s and that his crimes grew more methodical and grotesque over time. He spoke about his desire to create “zombies” by drilling into victims’ skulls and attempting to inject chemicals, a twisted effort to make them submissive and permanently under his control. His confessions painted a picture of a man consumed by obsession, driven by both sexual compulsion and a profound need for domination. The level of detail he provided gave law enforcement the clearest view into his psyche and the systematic way he carried out his murders, making his case one of the most infamous in modern criminal history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:confession1.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
