How Genetic Genealogy Was Used To Locate Bryan Kohberger

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.

From Wikileaks Warrior to Epstein Email Evasion: The Art of Steve Bannon’s Hypocrisy (11/14/25)

From Wikileaks Warrior to Epstein Email Evasion: The Art of Steve Bannon’s Hypocrisy (11/14/25)

In an explosive disclosure this week, newly released documents reveal that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein maintained a remarkably active role as political and media strategist, notably guiding Steve Bannon—former chief strategist to Donald Trump—on messaging, media appearances and international political optics. The records show that even as Epstein’s reputation crumbled, he was advising Bannon on how to “play” Europe, seize one-on-one meetings with world leaders and shape narrative around Trump and his team. Epstein wrote: “If you are going to play here, you’ll have to spend time, Europe by remote doesn’t work…. there are many leaders of countries we can organize for you to have one on ones.Perhaps more unsettling are the exchanges that suggest Epstein used this role to underpin his own bid for influence and image redemption. Emails show Epstein calling Bannon after forwarding a German media piece calling him “as dangerous as ever,” to which Epstein responded “luv it … we should lay out a strategy plan.”to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Epstein Files Phase One: The Fraud, the Farce, and the Freakshow (11/14/25)

The so-called phase one release of the Epstein files was nothing more than a pathetic PR puppet show dressed up as transparency. Instead of inviting the only people who actually deserved to be in that room—the survivors—the organizers hand-selected a cast of online clowns and grifters who have about as much understanding of the Epstein case as a houseplant. They paraded around the White House like they won a radio contest, smiling for cameras, posting selfies, and pushing prewritten talking points as if they were uncovering Watergate. It was state-sponsored propaganda masquerading as accountability, an insult delivered with a smile. Survivors were ignored, the press was sidelined, and instead the public was spoon-fed a carefully constructed narrative built for PR optics, not truth.What should have been a moment of brutal honesty and real disclosure was reduced to a circus of Twitter personalities and YouTube hustlers with zero investigative credibility—people who built their brands on culture-war outrage and have never spent a second doing real reporting on Epstein. The entire spectacle reeked of panic management, damage control, and political theater designed to neutralize public pressure and pretend progress was being made without actually releasing anything of substance. It was a grotesque mockery of justice: a stage play designed to distract, deflect, and buy time. If the goal was to treat the public like idiots and spit in the face of survivors, mission accomplished.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Epstein’s Media Whisperer: Michael Wolff’s Troubling Role Behind the Curtains (11/14/25)

Epstein’s Media Whisperer: Michael Wolff’s Troubling Role Behind the Curtains (11/14/25)

The question surrounding Michael Wolff and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has taken on a much darker shade with the release of the new emails. For years, Wolff positioned himself publicly as a critic, an insider-journalist who supposedly dissected the powerful rather than served them. But the emails paint a very different picture—one where he wasn’t just observing Epstein from afar; he was advising him, strategizing with him, and offering counsel on how to navigate his public-relations disasters. That alone is damning, but it becomes even more grotesque when contrasted with Wolff’s public persona as a crusader against corruption and abuse. The correspondence suggests a level of familiarity, even alignment, that cannot be squared with the image Wolff has sold to the public.And then there’s the tone of those emails—clinical, tactical, and utterly devoid of moral recoil. In them, Wolff talks about Epstein’s situation as if he’s managing a political candidate, not analyzing a child-sex trafficker. He outlines ways Epstein could manipulate public sentiment, how he might “hang” Trump to his own advantage, and essentially how to leverage scandal as currency. It doesn’t just make Wolff look compromised; it makes him look complicit in a world where power protects power at any cost. The revelations cast their relationship in an extremely unfavorable light—and honestly, calling it “less than favorable” is me being charitable to the point of absurdity.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Man Who Made Introductions: Epstein’s Currency of Connection  (11/14/25)

The Man Who Made Introductions: Epstein’s Currency of Connection (11/14/25)

Jeffrey Epstein’s entire operation, once you strip away the tabloid sleaze and the lurid headlines, always comes back to one thing: he was a broker. A fixer. A middleman who existed in the gray zones where powerful people needed plausible deniability and off-the-books problem solving. Whether it was moving money, introducing the right players, arranging meetings far from prying eyes, or engineering situations that created leverage, Epstein’s real utility was never the public façade of “financier” or “philanthropist.” His value came from being the guy who could get things done when official channels were too slow, too risky, or too visible. He cultivated that persona—discreet, connected, morally flexible—and in exchange for delivering solutions for the elite, he was granted protection that no ordinary criminal could ever dream of.And that protection is exactly what allowed him to run the monstrous, industrial-scale operation that ultimately defined his legacy. His handlers, his allies, and the institutions that shielded him looked the other way because Epstein’s usefulness outweighed the cost of his depravity, at least to them. He bridged gaps between governments, billionaires, academics, intelligence circles, and corporate titans, and each of those worlds found something in him worth exploiting. That’s the core truth: Epstein wasn’t an anomaly, he was an instrument—an unofficial conduit who served the interests of people far more powerful than himself. And because he was useful, he was protected, insulated, and allowed to keep operating until the system finally collapsed under the weight of its own secrets.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein positioned himself as Trump insider in newly released emails | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition:  How Andrew's Own Behavior Left Him With No Off Ramp (11/14/25)

Mega Edition: How Andrew's Own Behavior Left Him With No Off Ramp (11/14/25)

Prince Andrew’s entanglement with Jeffrey Epstein reached a point where there was no off-ramp, no graceful escape route left for him to take. From the moment photos surfaced of him walking with Epstein in Central Park after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, his public credibility began to erode. Every attempt to distance himself only made things worse—his disastrous 2019 BBC interview cemented his reputation as arrogant, evasive, and tone-deaf. Instead of expressing remorse or empathy for Epstein’s victims, he portrayed himself as the victim, insisting he’d done nothing wrong while offering implausible excuses about medical conditions and faulty memories. The public and the press weren’t buying it. With Epstein’s death reigniting global outrage, Andrew found himself cornered by mounting evidence of his closeness to the financier—flight logs, photos, and testimony from Virginia Giuffre made denial untenable.By the time Andrew settled Giuffre’s civil lawsuit in 2022, reportedly for millions, his royal career was finished. The Queen stripped him of his military titles and public duties, while King Charles quietly ensured his permanent exile from frontline royal life. Every possible exit strategy—silence, denial, legal settlements, staged contrition—had failed. Epstein’s shadow had consumed Andrew’s reputation, leaving him radioactive even within his own family. What began as an elite friendship turned into a life sentence of disgrace; there was no PR fix, no royal favor, no public forgiveness that could undo the damage. Epstein’s name became an anchor Andrew could never cut loose from—dragging him deeper every time he tried to escape.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition: Prince Andrew And The Claims That He Was More Addicted To Sex Than Epstein (11/14/25)

Prince Andrew’s fall from grace is a portrait of unchecked privilege, arrogance, and moral rot. Once celebrated as the “Playboy Prince,” his lifestyle spiraled into decadence and scandal — marked by his association with Jeffrey Epstein, lavish parties, and a pattern of reckless indulgence that blurred royal decorum with outright degeneracy. Accounts from multiple sources depict Andrew as consumed by lust, status, and ego, surrounding himself with the world’s richest and most corrupt figures while maintaining a reputation for being boorish and entitled. His close relationship with Epstein — a man accused of preying on minors — wasn’t a coincidence, but a reflection of his own appetites and blindness to consequence. Even before Epstein’s crimes became public, Andrew’s behavior was infamous among insiders who quietly regarded him as a liability to the Crown.Jeffrey Epstein allegedly bragged in a documentary that there was “only one person who likes sex more than me, and that’s Andrew,” referring to Prince Andrew, Duke of York. The film, which examines the close friendship between Epstein and the disgraced royal, paints a picture of mutual indulgence and depravity. Epstein reportedly described Andrew as his “real best buddy,” claiming they shared similar appetites and circles of company. According to the documentary, Epstein kept Andrew’s contact information prominently listed multiple times in his black book — a testament to how close their bond was. The insinuation from those who knew Epstein was clear: this was not just a social friendship, but one built on shared secrets and vices, and Epstein took pride in boasting about it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And The Predators Assistant (11/13/25)

Sarah Kellen (also known as Sarah Vickers or Sarah Kensington) is widely described as one of the key assistants to Jeffrey Epstein during the 2000s — a role in which she allegedly managed and coordinated many of the logistical and operational elements of Epstein’s sex-trafficking network. Court records, witness statements, and investigative reporting claim that Kellen was responsible for arranging “massages” (in many cases euphemisms for sexual encounters), scheduling flights on Epstein’s private jets, keeping contact lists of girls, and effectively acting as a gatekeeper for victims who were transported to various propertiesDespite her deep involvement, Kellen has never faced criminal charges. Federal judges and prosecutors have described her as a “knowing participant” and a “criminally responsible” figure in Epstein’s network, yet she remains free — claiming she was also a victim of Epstein’s control. Many survivors reject that narrative, arguing that she had full agency and willingly helped enable the abuse of minors. Her story underscores a broader truth about the Epstein case: that key facilitators, assistants, and coordinators — often women — operated the machinery of exploitation with precision, and most have evaded accountability under the guise of victimhood.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Lady Ghislaine Is Spotted In New Zealand

The Lady Ghislaine Is Spotted In New Zealand

In January 2020, the 58-meter yacht once known as Lady Ghislaine—the same vessel on which Robert Maxwell died mysteriously in 1991—was sighted in New Zealand, sparking a wave of intrigue and speculation. Now renamed Dancing Hare, the yacht docked at Akaroa before moving south to Dunedin’s Victoria Wharf, its arrival prompting widespread coverage due to its grim legacy. Built in 1986 and named after Ghislaine Maxwell, the vessel symbolized the wealth and decadence of her father’s media empire. Its reappearance decades later, in the waters of New Zealand, revived interest in the Maxwell family’s dark history and the unanswered questions surrounding Robert Maxwell’s death, as well as Ghislaine’s later involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s operations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
