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.

Former  Prince Andrew And The Erasure Of Empathy (11/3/25)

Former Prince Andrew And The Erasure Of Empathy (11/3/25)

In recently surfaced reports, it was revealed that Prince Andrew personally deleted references to sexual abuse survivors from official palace statements drafted in the aftermath of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. According to palace insiders, senior aides attempted to include lines acknowledging and expressing sympathy for the victims of Epstein’s crimes, but Andrew repeatedly struck those sections out before public release. His edits reportedly came at a time when the royal family was under immense scrutiny, and his actions were viewed internally as both tone-deaf and self-serving, reflecting his continued refusal to show genuine contrition or empathy.The revelations have reignited public anger and further cemented Andrew’s fall from grace. Royal commentators noted that his removal of those references symbolized how out of touch he remains, prioritizing his own reputation over compassion or accountability. This incident also underscores the divide between him and the rest of the royal family — particularly King Charles III — who later approved a statement explicitly expressing sympathy toward “the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.” The move was interpreted as a deliberate correction and an implicit rebuke of Andrew’s earlier actions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Andrew erased royal tributes to Jeffrey Epstein victimsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

A Throne Built on Denial: Why Andrew Fears the Witness Chair (11/3/25)

A Throne Built on Denial: Why Andrew Fears the Witness Chair (11/3/25)

If Prince Andrew is truly serious about clearing his name, there’s only one path left to take—and it doesn’t involve hiding behind palace walls or issuing carefully worded press releases. It means sitting down with investigators, under oath, and answering every question about his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Public opinion won’t shift through PR stunts or vague denials; the only thing that could restore even a shred of credibility is the kind of transparency that comes with sworn testimony. Anything less will always look like evasion, and at this point, the court of public opinion has already rendered its verdict.By avoiding formal questioning, Andrew reinforces every suspicion surrounding him. His silence isn’t a shield—it’s a confession of fear. If he genuinely has nothing to hide, he should welcome the chance to confront the allegations head-on, with evidence and truth as his defense. Until he does, every statement he makes will sound hollow, every “no recollection” another nail in his reputation’s coffin. The door to redemption is open, but only if he’s willing to walk through it and face the same scrutiny as the people he once surrounded himself with.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:‘If he wants to clear his name, he will come forward’: Andrew under fresh pressure from Congress to testify over EpsteinBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The OIG Report Into Jeffrey Epstein's Non Prosecution Agreement (Part 37-38) (11/3/25)

The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement (NPA) of 2007-08, reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailed how federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida negotiated a deal that effectively ended an active federal investigation into Epstein’s alleged trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The agreement granted broad immunity to Epstein and unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” allowed him to plead guilty to state charges instead of facing major federal sex-trafficking counts, and did so without informing or consulting the victims before the deal was executed. The OPR found that while no evidence of corruption or impermissible influence was uncovered, the decision represented “poor judgment” by the prosecutors.Further, the report underscored significant procedural deficiencies: victims were not made aware of the NPA, the USAO did not meaningfully engage with them in accordance with the Crime Victims’ Rights Act’s principles, and the immunity granted in the NPA curtailed future federal prosecution of Epstein’s associates—even as investigation into other victims and broader criminal conduct may have persisted. In short, the OPR concluded that the case resolution was legally within the prosecutors’ discretion, but deeply flawed in its execution and fairness to those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell And The  Pardon That Never Came

Ghislaine Maxwell And The Pardon That Never Came

Right after her arrest in July 2020, Ghislaine Maxwell went into survival mode — and behind the polished courtroom façade, she began quietly fishing for a pardon. Her legal team and inner circle floated the idea that she could “name names” connected to Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network if she were granted immunity or clemency. At the time, Donald Trump was still in office, and Maxwell’s camp appeared to believe they could leverage his public comments — particularly his infamous “I wish her well” remark — into something more substantial. Rumors circulated through legal and political channels that Maxwell’s attorneys were probing whether a preemptive pardon could be arranged before trial, suggesting she might have valuable information to trade. It was a desperate gambit, driven by the awareness that the evidence against her was overwhelming and that Epstein’s death had made her the last major target standing.But the pardon never came. Trump, already under scrutiny for the Epstein connection, backed away publicly, saying he hadn’t considered it and that “no one had asked.” Inside the White House, advisers reportedly warned that granting clemency to Maxwell — a woman accused of grooming and trafficking minors — would be political suicide. As a result, her quiet lobbying efforts died on the vine. When the administration’s final list of pardons was released in January 2021, her name was nowhere to be found. Instead, she was left to face the full weight of the justice system alone — a would-be power player turned prisoner, watching the man she once might have counted on to save her walk away without lifting a finger.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
