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.

Ding Dong The Witches Appeal Is Dead:   Ghislaine Maxwell's Appeal Is Denied By The Supreme Court (10/6/25)

Ding Dong The Witches Appeal Is Dead: Ghislaine Maxwell's Appeal Is Denied By The Supreme Court (10/6/25)

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear Ghislaine Maxwell’s final appeal, effectively ending her legal battle to overturn her 2021 conviction for sex trafficking minors alongside Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell’s attorneys had argued that a 2007 non-prosecution agreement between Epstein and federal prosecutors in Florida should have shielded her from prosecution in New York, claiming she was unfairly targeted after Epstein’s death. The justices, however, refused to take up the case, leaving intact the lower court rulings that upheld her 20-year sentence and dismissed her arguments as meritless.Following the rejection, Maxwell remains imprisoned at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, a low-security facility where she was transferred after previously being housed at FCI Tallahassee. Her only remaining avenue of relief now lies outside the judicial system—through executive clemency, such as a presidential pardon—though such outcomes are exceedingly rare.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Diddy Trial:  Diddy And His Legal Team Move Swiftly To Appeal His Sentencing (10/6/25)

The Diddy Trial: Diddy And His Legal Team Move Swiftly To Appeal His Sentencing (10/6/25)

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team has filed notice of appeal following his conviction on two federal counts of transporting individuals for prostitution under the Mann Act. His attorneys argue that the verdict was inconsistent with the sentencing, claiming the judge improperly considered conduct the jury had rejected — particularly allegations of coercion — to impose a harsher penalty. The defense contends this violated Diddy’s constitutional right to a fair trial and effectively turned the judge into a “13th juror,” overriding the jury’s findings. They are seeking either a full reversal of the conviction or a new trial.The appeal will also challenge several procedural rulings from the eight-week trial, including evidentiary decisions and jury instructions the defense claims were prejudicial. Diddy was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison and fined $500,000 — far less than the 11 years prosecutors had sought, but still viewed by his team as excessive given the acquittals on other charges. The appellate process will now move to the Second Circuit, where his attorneys plan to argue that the sentencing exceeded the lawful scope of the jury’s verdict and that key testimony was improperly admitted.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein's Victims Number In The 1000s According To This Lawyer (10/6/25)

Jeffrey Epstein's Victims Number In The 1000s According To This Lawyer (10/6/25)

Lisa Bloom has asserted that the number of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims likely extends far beyond those publicly known, arguing that the hundreds who have come forward represent only the “tip of the iceberg.” She reasons that if the public disclosures amount to perhaps one in ten of those harmed, then “thousands” of victims remain undisclosed. She has also pointed to testimony in some cases indicating that Epstein abused as many as three girls a day during peak periods, underscoring the scope she believes has been hidden.Alongside quantifying the scale, Bloom has been vocal in calls for transparency and accountability. She has criticized powerful individuals linked to Epstein for failing to comply with investigations and pushed for the unsealing of legal files (excluding victim identities) to shed light on how far the network reachedto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:I investigated Epstein's twisted sex empire - there's thousands more victims... we’ve only seen tip of sordid iceberg | The SunBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

How The Federal Government Broke The Law When It Comes to Epstein And The CVRA (Part 2) (10/6/25)

How The Federal Government Broke The Law When It Comes to Epstein And The CVRA (Part 2) (10/6/25)

The Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA) was supposed to guarantee fairness and transparency for victims—making sure they were informed, included, and respected in the legal process. But when Jeffrey Epstein came along, that promise evaporated. Federal prosecutors secretly cut a Non-Prosecution Agreement that protected not only Epstein but also his “potential co-conspirators,” violating the very law designed to stop such backroom deals. The victims weren’t told; they found out months later from the press. The same Department of Justice that preaches accountability deliberately hid the deal, broke federal law, and then argued that the CVRA didn’t apply because no federal charges were filed—an argument so twisted it turned their own crime into a loophole.Instead of punishment, Epstein got 13 months in county jail with daily work release, while the prosecutors who betrayed the victims got promotions. The courts sided with the government, ruling that since the feds never formally charged Epstein, the survivors technically weren’t “victims” under the CVRA. The result was a legal farce that showed how easily the system bends for the powerful. The law that was supposed to protect victims ended up protecting predators, proving once again that in America, justice isn’t blind—it just looks away when the wrong people are involved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Mega Edition: Precious Muir And Her Diddy Experience (10/5/25)

Precious Muir, a British model and broadcaster, recently shared unsettling accounts of her experiences at Sean "Diddy" Combs' infamous parties. She described how these gatherings were laden with predatory behavior, drugs, and a toxic environment aimed at exploiting young women. Muir reflected that many attendees, including models like herself, were lured by the promise of advancing their careers but found themselves in risky situations. She emphasized that her decision to avoid drugs saved her life, noting that several others who participated developed severe addictions or faced tragic outcomes​Muir recounted that some of these events, starting as daytime parties, devolved into disturbing scenes at night, including graphic sexual behavior. Shockingly, she mentioned the presence of children at these gatherings, questioning how such an inappropriate environment could allow that. Her narrative aligns with broader allegations against Diddy, who is currently under scrutiny following numerous accusations of sexual misconduct from over 120 individuals. Muir expressed no surprise at his recent arrest, implying that his behavior at these parties always carried a sinister undertone.(commercial at 8:54)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:I went to Diddy's 'scary' parties as a young model - a lot of my friends from that time didn't make it, but the choice I made saved my life | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition:  Les Wexner And His Political Patronage  And The Harvard Hypocrisy (10/5/25)

Mega Edition: Les Wexner And His Political Patronage And The Harvard Hypocrisy (10/5/25)

Les Wexner, billionaire founder of L Brands and longtime Epstein associate, has poured significant money into Republican politics over the years. He was a high-profile donor in the 2012 presidential race, hosting fundraisers for Mitt Romney and giving $250,000 to the pro-Romney “Restore Our Future” super PAC. In 2015, he chipped in another $500,000 to Jeb Bush’s “Right to Rise” PAC, solidifying his reputation as one of Ohio’s most influential GOP financiers. For decades, Wexner’s name appeared in donor rolls tied to party machinery, think tanks, and candidates who benefited from his wealth.Then came the dramatic “I quit the GOP” moment in 2018, when Wexner loudly declared he was leaving the Republican Party, citing differences with its modern direction. But, irony alert—despite the public distancing act, he was back in the donor headlines in 2022, cutting a $250,000 check to the Republican Governors Association. So much for walking away. It seems that, like many billionaires, Wexner can’t quite resist keeping his influence alive where it counts—inside the political cash pipeline.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
