Investigators trace genealogy to 1700s to identify suspect

OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. (Fox 2) - Two sexual assaults on golf courses in Oakland County and Penn State University's campus have been solved nearly 25 years later after digging into genealogy records led investigators to three potential suspects, authorities say.

  1. I have nothing to hide but that is still scary shit. I suppose there are some who hope and pray they were adopted.

  3. It kind of makes me think….
    that the tv push for 23andMe, Ancestry, etc….
    might have had a government surveillance angle.

    1. That’s why you do it under a fake name.

    2. @Ed357: Between the ChiComs using the DNA to formulate bioweapons and the fedguv using it to track people, I had opted out. I can find out everything I need to know, and more, by looking at my late grandmother's family books.

  4. I'm a science guy and all but I have zero trust in a lot of these cases solved by DNA. I'm still not convinced the process is sound enough to be used to say, incriminate someone for murder. Especially when you're using "dated" DNA. That shit can break down and denature IMO.

  5. I thought all those genealogy/family history companies were run by the Morman's? Don't they have a belief that the living can pray or pay penance so as to get their ancestors into heaven?

  6. I'm not sure that those DNA ancestry services are all that good.

    When members of my immediate family submitted their DNA for analysis, the results "proved" that my son was unrelated to his mother (my wife), and that my daughter had a completely different ancestral group than her brother AND my wife.

    I am pretty sure that both results were absurdly wrong. After all, I was there when they were born, and neither baby left the room until we took them home.
