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.

Former Gov. John De Jongh And His Battle With Epstein Survivors Over Jurisdiction (11/26/25)

In the case Does 1-6 vs. Gov. John de Jongh, Jr., et al., the defense counsel for Gov. John de Jongh, Jr. submitted a supplemental briefing in compliance with the court’s order to address topics discussed during a prior conference and highlight relevant cases or arguments raised by both parties. While primarily focusing on venue-related arguments, the defendant also joins and incorporates the arguments made by co-defendants in their respective submissions. The defense reiterates its position that the Second Amended Complaint (SAC) should be dismissed based on prior arguments made by the defendant and co-defendants.Should the SAC not be dismissed, including for reasons of improper venue, the defense asserts that the case should be transferred to the District of the Virgin Islands (D.V.I.), where it would be more appropriately handled.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.610915.178.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Gaslighting the Public:  James Comer Blames Americans for Not Buying Congresses Epstein BS (11/26/25)

Gaslighting the Public: James Comer Blames Americans for Not Buying Congresses Epstein BS (11/26/25)

James Comer whining that nobody will believe his upcoming Epstein report is the most unintentionally honest thing he’s ever said. Public trust in Congress has evaporated after years of empty investigations, hollow promises, and political theater that never produces consequences. Comer acts shocked that people won’t blindly accept whatever narrative he puts out, comparing the response to the Warren Commission like that’s some badge of honor instead of a historic failure. He’s mad not because people are irrational, but because the old playbook—grandstanding, dramatic press conferences, and meaningless “bombshells”—doesn’t work anymore. The American public isn’t buying “trust me bro” politics, and they’re not applauding another expensive report destined to collect dust while the powerful walk free.Comer’s outrage is nothing more than a tantrum from a politician terrified of losing control of the narrative. Instead of delivering real accountability, Congress consistently delivers nothing but smoke and excuses, and then blames the public for refusing to cheer. The reason nobody trusts Comer or his colleagues isn’t conspiracy—it’s track record. We’ve watched them talk a tough game, promise justice, and produce absolutely nothing, from Russiagate to every other so-called investigation that fizzled into nothing. The era of blind obedience is dead. If Comer wants belief, he needs results—not another worthless performance. Until that day, the disbelief he’s crying about is just the country telling him the truth: he earned it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:‘Nobody will ever believe it’: James Comer airs doubts about his own Epstein investigation - POLITICOBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Filthy Reality of Epstein’s Political Power in the United States Virgin Islands (11/26/25)

The Filthy Reality of Epstein’s Political Power in the United States Virgin Islands (11/26/25)

Jeffrey Epstein’s influence over elected officials in the U.S. Virgin Islands has been severely underreported, and what little has surfaced paints a disturbing picture of a predator who understood exactly how to weaponize wealth and access. Epstein embedded himself deeply into the political fabric of the territory, using his private islands as both a physical and symbolic base of power. He exploited the region’s tax-benefit programs through entities like Southern Trust and Financial Trust, turning the USVI into a financial stronghold that allowed him to move money with minimal scrutiny. Along the way, he courted and financially supported political figures, cultivating the kind of access that most lobbyists would kill for — but without any of the transparency or accountability required of legitimate political influence.It wasn’t just checks changing hands; it was strategy, direction, and coordination. Private emails and lawsuit filings have shown that prominent political figures in the USVI sought Epstein’s approval and assistance, with some even consulting him on how to secure campaign support and manage political relationships. Epstein allegedly pushed for changes to laws and regulations that would directly benefit him — including adjustments to sex-offender requirements — and he kept a stable of officials close enough to act as buffers and facilitators. Yet despite the magnitude of this corruption, the national media largely ignored it for years, focusing instead on the glamour and scandal surrounding his high-profile associates. The story of how Epstein essentially operated as an unelected power broker within a U.S. territory remains one of the most neglected and revealing components of the broader cover-up.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

What the Epstein Emails Reveal About Influence, Access, and Power  (11/26/25)

What the Epstein Emails Reveal About Influence, Access, and Power (11/26/25)

The explosion of Epstein revelations has exposed decades of corruption, lies, and cowardice from the elites and the institutions that protected them. For years, the media treated Epstein like an awkward footnote instead of a global trafficking mastermind, sanitizing his crimes and mocking anyone who questioned the official story. Now, as emails, calendars, flight logs, and personal messages leak out, people are realizing the truth was hidden in plain sight the whole time. The powerful weren’t just covering for Epstein — they were embedded in his world, protected by money, influence, and a justice system designed to shield them while everyday people were told to shut up and trust the process. The public shock now isn’t because the truth is new, but because the lies finally broke apart and the mask fell off.What’s happening now is a historic shift — a mass awakening fueled by humiliation, betrayal, and a sense of rage that isn’t going to fade with the next news cycle. People are furious because they finally understand just how deeply they were manipulated by the media, the government, and a class of wealthy predators who believed they were untouchable. The elites are panicking as their empire of secrets collapses, scrambling to distract and delay while their reputations crumble in real time. But the public isn’t backing down anymore. There’s no going back, no forgetting, no pretending the system isn’t rigged. For the first time, the consequences are coming for the people who always believed they were above them — and the storm they created is about to swallow them whole.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Royal Security or Personal 'Hit' Squad? The Andrew Investigation In London (11/26/25)

Royal Security or Personal 'Hit' Squad? The Andrew Investigation In London (11/26/25)

London’s Metropolitan Police has launched an active investigation into allegations that Prince Andrew used taxpayer-funded security personnel to obtain compromising information on Virginia Giuffre, his accuser. The probe centers on a 2011 email in which Andrew allegedly provided Giuffre’s date of birth and U.S. Social Security number to a personal protection officer and asked them to check for a criminal record or other damaging material. This request reportedly came just before the publication of a photo showing Andrew with Giuffre when she was a minor, raising questions about whether the prince misused his resources and influence to target someone who had accused him of sexual misconduct. The police have confirmed they are “actively looking into” the matter.The revelation has sparked outrage from political figures and the public alike, with calls for full transparency and accountability. At the same time, Andrew’s position has weakened further: he relinquished the title Duke of York and other royal honours amid these renewed allegations and the broader scandal surrounding his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. While there is no public evidence yet that the officer complied with Andrew’s directive, the investigation itself signals a rare instance of scrutiny directed at royal-protection resources being potentially exploited for personal agendas. The stakes are particularly high given Giuffre’s death earlier in the year, which has renewed pressure on authorities to leave no stone unturned.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew news: Police probe ex-royal protection officers over ‘deeply concerning’ emailBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition: The OIG Report Into The Death And Circumstances Of Epstein's Death (Part 3) (11/26/25)

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein’s death delivers a blistering indictment of systemic failures at the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and his holding facility. It documents a litany of procedural violations: Epstein’s cellmate was removed and never replaced despite explicit policy, surveillance cameras in his unit were malfunctioning or not recording, and the staff responsible for required 30-minute checks on Epstein didn’t perform them. Instead, employees falsified records indicating those rounds were completed, and in reality Epstein was alone and unchecked for hours before his death. These aren’t isolated mistakes—they’re classic symptoms of institutional collapse and neglect at a time when every safeguard should have been activated.Beyond the immediate night of his death, the report underscores a deeper rot: long-standing staffing shortages, indifferent supervision, and a culture that tolerated policy breaches without accountability. The OIG identifies that the same deficiencies had been raised in prior reports about the BOP, yet were never effectively addressed. By allowing one of the most high-profile detainees in the nation to slip through the cracks under such glaring conditions, the BOP didn’t just fail Epstein—they failed the public trust and all the victims who sought justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:2 3 - 0 8 5 (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
