How Genetic Genealogy Was Used To Locate Bryan Kohberger

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.

Mega Edition:  Jeffrey Epstein And His Infamous Black Book (Part 2) (9/21/25)

Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And His Infamous Black Book (Part 2) (9/21/25)

Jeffrey Epstein’s so-called “black book” was less a contact list and more a grotesque monument to power shielding power. It wasn’t filled with your everyday acquaintances; it was a who’s who of billionaires, politicians, royalty, celebrities, and Wall Street heavyweights—names that had no business being in the same Rolodex as a convicted sex offender. The book exposed just how deep Epstein’s tentacles reached, how many doors he could knock on, and how many influential people were willing to at least tolerate, if not outright embrace, his presence. Whether every name in there was complicit or simply embarrassed by association, the sheer scale of it laid bare how Epstein weaponized access to the elite as both shield and currency.The real stench of the black book wasn’t just who was in it, but what it represented: a roadmap of complicity and cowardice. It proved that Epstein didn’t thrive in isolation—he thrived because powerful people answered his calls, opened their homes, and boarded his planes. It’s a reminder that the “Epstein problem” wasn’t just Epstein; it was the system of enablers, gatekeepers, and opportunists who kept him socially viable long after his crimes were known. The black book is less a curiosity and more a ledger of shame, an artifact that shows how the elite protect each other, even when the cost is justice for survivors.to contact me:    bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/10/i-called-everyone-in-jeffrey-epsteins-little-black-book/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jes Staley Was Jeffrey Epstein's Banker,  His Buddy And His Fool (9/20/25)

Jes Staley Was Jeffrey Epstein's Banker, His Buddy And His Fool (9/20/25)

Jes Staley’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just a lapse in judgment—it was a full-blown embrace of depravity dressed up as “networking.” Staley wasn’t dragged into Epstein’s orbit; he signed up for the frequent flyer program. He flew to the island, sent creepy “Snow White” emails, and played the role of banker, buddy, and image-launderer for a convicted sex offender. This wasn’t ignorance—it was arrogance. He knew exactly who Epstein was and decided that power, money, and access were worth more than decency, truth, or his own reputation.In the end, Staley will never be remembered for his banking career or “leadership.” His legacy is sealed as Epstein’s enabler, lapdog, and fool—the man who polished the monster’s image while survivors were left fighting for justice. He represents everything rotten about high finance: greed over morality, image over truth, connections over humanity. Staley thought he could walk hand-in-hand with Epstein and still be respected. Instead, he’s a permanent cautionary tale of complicity, corruption, and cowardice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition: Elon Musk And His Alleged Epstein Connections And His Denials (9/20/25)

Reports say that Musk once visited Epstein’s New York residence for about 30 minutes one afternoon, along with Talulah Riley. Musk has said the meeting was at her request, because she was curious, and that nothing inappropriate was observed—just “weird art.” He also says Epstein invited him more than once to visit his private island, an invitation Musk declinedMusk has also been vocal in demanding that files related to Epstein be made more public. He has made claims—without presenting evidence—that Donald Trump is named in still-sealed “Epstein files,” and that this is a key reason they have not been released. Musk has criticized the Trump administration for withholding them and said such transparency is important for public trust.to contact me:bobbycapucci@Protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
