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.

Joseph Manzaro And The Lawsuit Filed Against Diddy And His Alleged Co-Conspirators (Part 1)

Joseph Manzaro And The Lawsuit Filed Against Diddy And His Alleged Co-Conspirators (Part 1)

​On April 1, 2025, plaintiff Manzaro Joseph filed a federal lawsuit in the Southern District of Florida against Sean "Diddy" Combs and several associates, including Eric Mejias, Brendan Paul, Emilio Estefan, and Adria English. The complaint alleges that the defendants participated in a criminal enterprise involving human trafficking, sexual exploitation, kidnapping, and obstruction of justice. Joseph claims he was drugged, transported across state lines, and subjected to sexual violence orchestrated by Combs, with assistance from the other named individuals. The lawsuit invokes federal statutes such as the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA), the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), and the Civil Rights Act, as well as Florida's human trafficking laws.The complaint details each defendant's alleged role: Mejias is accused of drugging and threatening Joseph; Paul of coordinating transportation; Estefan of facilitating and approving the transport; and English of aiding in Joseph's targeting and concealment. Joseph also references unidentified individuals ("DOE Johns") who may have contributed to the alleged crimes. He seeks damages and injunctive relief, asserting that the defendants' actions violated multiple federal and state laws. The case brings renewed scrutiny to Combs, who has faced previous legal challenges, and raises questions about the involvement of high-profile individuals in alleged criminal activities.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.flsd.686843.1.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Katie Johnson and Donald Trump: Examining the Claims and the Silence (11/22/25)

Katie Johnson and Donald Trump: Examining the Claims and the Silence (11/22/25)

In 2016 a woman using the name Katie Johnson filed a federal lawsuit alleging that she had been assaulted as a minor — in her complaint she claimed that in 1994, when she was 13, she was lured by Jeffrey Epstein to his Manhattan residence with promises of modeling, and that Trump and Epstein took turns sexually assaulting her during a series of parties. After filing the suit, the case was dismissed or voluntarily withdrawn, and the woman's identity and credibility came under heavy question. Media investigations found no independent verification of the accuser’s identity or direct confirmation of her story, and suggested the legal action may have been tied to outside actors, raising serious doubts about the authenticity of the claims.The pushback included abrupt cancellation of a planned press appearance by Johnson, no confirmed attorney-client communications, and serious scrutiny of the legal counsel and promoters of the case, including accusations of coordination by a controversial figure with a history of disputed celebrity claims. Trump’s camp denied the allegation outright, and legal analysts pointed to procedural deficiencies in the filing — including that the lawsuit alleged criminal conduct under a civil statute that did not apply. This resulted in the case failing to proceed, major media outlets treating the matter as unverified, and critics arguing that the entire matter became a lightning rod for conspiracy theories rather than a credible path to accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:A California woman accused both Epstein and Trump.

Bill Gates And The Epstein Questions That Just Won't Go Away (11/22/25)

Bill Gates And The Epstein Questions That Just Won't Go Away (11/22/25)

Bill Gates has once again been pulled back into the Jeffrey Epstein maelstrom as newly resurfaced records and correspondence reignite questions about the true depth of his relationship with Epstein—long after Epstein’s 2008 conviction made his reputation impossible to ignore. The latest disclosures include communications involving Gates’ philanthropic circle that appear to show Epstein positioning himself as a broker of influence, attempting to connect Gates with political figures and high-level networks. These revelations undermine the long-standing public narrative that Gates only met with Epstein a handful of times for benign philanthropic purposes and had no meaningful partnership with him. They also intensify scrutiny over why one of the most powerful and well-informed figures in the world continued to engage with someone already known as a convicted sex offender.The renewed spotlight has also revived the internal controversy surrounding Gates’ personal life, including widely reported tensions within his marriage as Melinda French Gates repeatedly objected to the association and later described Epstein in strikingly harsh terms. As more details surface, Gates’ attempts to minimize the relationship appear increasingly strained, especially with each new record that contradicts earlier public statements. What was once portrayed as a minor footnote now looks like a strategic, mutually beneficial connection—raising the central unresolved question: Why was Bill Gates willing to maintain contact with Epstein after the world knew who Epstein truly was?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s Whistleblower Silenced: Inside the BOP Cover-Up  (11/22/25)

Ghislaine Maxwell’s Whistleblower Silenced: Inside the BOP Cover-Up (11/22/25)

In a development that has raised serious questions about transparency and accountability, the Bureau of Prisons has reportedly terminated the employee who exposed Ghislaine Maxwell’s preferential treatment while in federal custody. Rather than address why a convicted sex trafficker was receiving unusual accommodations — including a relocation that has never been fully explained — officials chose instead to penalize the individual who alerted the public. The agency’s justification rests on claims of “policy violations” and unauthorized communication with the media, a defense that has done little to dispel concerns that the move was designed to suppress scrutiny rather than uphold procedure. For observers, the timing and severity of the response appear less like a personnel issue and more like a concerted effort to control the narrative surrounding Maxwell’s conditions.The decision has intensified frustration among survivors, advocates, and members of the public who have demanded answers about how and why Maxwell has been treated differently from other federal inmates. Rather than clarifying who approved her transfer, why she was granted amenities rarely afforded to prisoners, or what internal discussions led to these decisions, the focus has shifted toward silencing the whistleblower. The optics are stark: a system that has repeatedly resisted transparency in the Epstein-Maxwell case now punishing the one person attempting to shed light on it. The unresolved questions remain central: Who authorized the move? What motivated it? And why has the response to legitimate inquiry been discipline instead of disclosure? Until those questions are answered, concerns about a deepening institutional coverup will only continue to grow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com'source:Nurse is fired after revealing Ghislaine Maxwell's VIP treatment at comfortable new federal prison where she has access to puppy | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition: Johanna Sjoberg's Deposition In The Maxwell/Virginia Roberts Suit (Part 9-10) (11/21/25)

In her deposition in the defamation lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, Johanna Sjoberg described being recruited to work for Jeffrey Epstein under the impression that it was a legitimate job opportunity. According to her testimony, she was initially hired to help with office work but was soon asked to give massages to Epstein—something she testified quickly evolved into inappropriate and unwanted conduct. Sjoberg stated that Ghislaine Maxwell played a central role in managing the household and was often present during these encounters, contributing to the atmosphere of control and pressure. Her deposition supported claims made by Giuffre and other women who alleged they were misled into situations where they were exploited.Sjoberg also testified about interactions with well-known individuals while in Epstein’s company, including an allegation involving Prince Andrew, which she said took place at Epstein’s residence. She described an incident in which Maxwell, Epstein, and others were present during a moment she considered inappropriate and unsettling. While the full extent of those interactions remains the subject of legal scrutiny and public interest, Sjoberg’s deposition contributed to the broader pattern of allegations suggesting a tightly controlled environment where young women were manipulated under false pretenses. Her account was one of several that added weight to the claims being investigated in both civil and criminal proceedings surrounding Epstein and Maxwell.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
