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.

From Riyadh to Wall Street: The Education of Jeffrey Epstein in Secrets and Shadows (Part 2) (8/20/25)

From Riyadh to Wall Street: The Education of Jeffrey Epstein in Secrets and Shadows (Part 2) (8/20/25)

Jeffrey Epstein’s story doesn’t begin with the penthouse, the island, or the mugshot—it begins in the shadows of the Cold War. In the 1980s, he worked as a financial adviser for Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, a man entangled in the Iran–Contra scandal and the massive Al-Yamamah arms deal. Through Khashoggi, British defense contractor Douglas Leese, and financier Steven Hoffenberg, Epstein was introduced to a world where money moved invisibly, arms were traded for oil, and intelligence agencies relied on businessmen as covert intermediaries. These early associations taught him the culture of power: secrets were currency, crimes could be reframed as strategy, and the right connections offered protection from the law.Epstein didn’t invent this playbook—he adapted it. Where Khashoggi traded weapons and oil, Epstein traded access and leverage, turning young victims into bargaining chips in a network of elites. His empire mirrored the same operating principles he absorbed in the 1980s: plausible deniability, hidden money flows, and the insulation of power. This is why his story is more than personal depravity—it’s proof that the system itself breeds and shields men like him. Epstein wasn’t a glitch in the matrix. He was the proof that it works, and the machinery that built him is still running, still producing new Epsteins, waiting for their turn in the spotlight.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Morning Update: IRS Blindness, Billionaire Bribes, and Epstein’s Empire (8/20/25)

Senator Ron Wyden has sharply criticized the IRS for failing to audit or investigate the massive payments—estimated at at least $158 million, and possibly up to $170 million—made by private equity billionaire Leon Black to Jeffrey Epstein between 2012 and 2017. Wyden questioned how Epstein, who had no formal credentials in tax or accounting, could receive such high sums—exceeding compensation paid to other top advisors—without raising any red flags, and pointed out that much of this was paid “ad hoc” without written contracts. He urged the IRS to explain why these seemingly suspicious tax‑planning transactions were never subject to scrutiny despite their scale and Epstein’s criminal historyAdditionally, Wyden revealed that his office accessed a trove of financial records indicating approximately 4,725 wire transfers amounting to over $1 billion linked to Epstein, including interactions with Russian banks connected to sex trafficking. He accused the Treasury Department of withholding these critical Suspicious Activity Reports from oversight and insisted that the lack of broader prosecutions or investigations suggests a cover‑up. Wyden accused federal agencies of “sleepwalking” through evidence that might have exposed Epstein’s alleged façade of financial expertise and facilitated accountability for those who funded his operations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Senator Seeks Investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Work for Leon BlackBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr Gives His Jeffrey Epstein Related Testimony To Congress  (8/20/25)

Former Attorney General Bill Barr Gives His Jeffrey Epstein Related Testimony To Congress (8/20/25)

Bill Barr’s closed-door appearance before the House Oversight Committee was less an act of revelation and more of carefully dosed denial and damage control. While he acknowledged Epstein’s death resulted from a “perfect storm of screw-ups,” he denied awareness of missing surveillance footage or any so-called “client list” of associates. And despite widespread media focus on camera blind spots and unmonitored jail lapses, Barr insisted no evidence had emerged contradicting the official suicide determinationCritics argue that Barr’s testimony underscored the DOJ’s reluctance to fully own up to systemic failure. His assertion that he was “personally satisfied” with the outcome—and his resistance to acknowledging deeper institutional faults—fueled the notion that his role was protecting narrative more than uncovering truth. The hearing did little to quell concerns, instead leaving many in Congress and the public convinced there’s more yet to emerge.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Barr tells House he saw no evidence linking Trump to Epstein crimes: Comer | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition:   The  Grindingly Slow Process  Of The  OIG Investigation Into Epstein's Death (8/20/25)

Mega Edition: The Grindingly Slow Process Of The OIG Investigation Into Epstein's Death (8/20/25)

The release of the Office of Inspector General’s report on Jeffrey Epstein’s death was marked by a delay so drawn out that it raised more questions than it answered. Epstein died in August 2019, yet the OIG report—supposedly the definitive account of the failures at the Metropolitan Correctional Center—did not surface until mid-2023. That nearly four-year gap created an atmosphere of suspicion, where the public was left to speculate in the absence of transparency. For a case of such magnitude, involving one of the most notorious prisoners in U.S. custody, the government’s inability—or unwillingness—to produce timely findings came across as stonewalling rather than due diligence. Each year that ticked by without answers only deepened the impression that the investigation was less about accountability and more about managing fallout.Critics have argued that the slow pace betrayed the very purpose of oversight. The OIG is meant to reassure the public that even the federal system can police itself, but when it takes nearly half a decade to confirm “errors” that were obvious within days of Epstein’s death—broken cameras, sleeping guards, falsified logs—the credibility of the process collapses. Instead of restoring confidence, the delay reinforced the perception that the system was dragging its feet, hoping the public’s outrage would fade. By the time the report finally arrived, many saw it as an afterthought: a bureaucratic box checked too late to matter, more a shield for officials than a search for truth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Death: Justice Department Still Hasn't Released Report (businessinsider.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

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. These individuals are alleged to have been involved in or facilitated the abusive behavior at Diddy’s notorious parties, often referred to as "Freak Off" parties. Buzbee has stated that the names on this list will be shocking, implying that other powerful figures in the entertainment industry could be implicated.While Buzbee has not yet publicly named these accomplices, he has assured that they will be identified as the lawsuits proceed. He emphasized that his legal team is being meticulous in vetting the accusations to ensure accuracy before exposing these individuals. This development comes as part of a broader legal effort, with over 120 alleged victims coming forward, including men, women, and minors, with accusations dating back to the early 1990s​.(commercial at 8:23)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsoure:Diddy 'list' of accomplices includes 'powerful hotel execs, bankers and pharmaceutical bosses, says lawyer | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
