I'm glad they got the bastard as well but with all due respect, you're deluding yourself if you believe that what's done in the darkness will come to light, everytime. It does NOT come to light every time. There are countless unsolved crimes in this world and most will not be solved.
If you do it in the right order than you may help yourself. First you find out who relatives are then you change your name. Secon you win the lottery and all those who say they are related to you- you can tell them to fack off!! Either way tell them that. Give to a good charity before you get it from 'friends' and 'family'
For all the people that were victims of unsolved murders, people who's last moments were lived in fear, the fact of familial DNA is a form of justice in of itself. Even if the perpetrator of a crime escapes punishment, they are now the ones that live in fear. Everytime there is a knock on the door or they see a police officer, these bastards that got away with murder, they have got to know, it could be their last minutes of freedom. Live in fear, your time is short and retribution lurks.
Most of the psychopaths are not worried. They have an idea that they are above normal human beings and never will be catched. But for all the other criminals...yes, they are bot having a happy life...
Sadly there’s this thing called statute of limitations and that sucks. However, they will still live in fear knowing that since they were identified they’re marked for life. Someone is out there to take revenge.
This is so interesting because it is a private sector effort that has nothing to do with law enforcement. You sound like you are aware of many cases. I’ve never heard of anything related to closing old cases. How did they make the linkage , exactly? I mean, wouldn’t someone in law enforcement have had to have access to her DNA report results?
@@Happybidr Yeah.... When you do DNA through ancestrydna.com, you basically volunteer for the FBI database. It's in the contract, all DNA is shared with law enforcement.
Those companies are private ones and have not given permission To police departments or the fbi to use any of our personal dna data or any other data on their sites. Quit giving false information.
@@Happybidr Cold cases in the UK have been solved when a relative has also commited a crime and DNA is checked against a database to see if they have committed any other unsolved crimes. In the US the DNA of the Golden State Killer was sent to GEDmatch which solved the case. GEd have since closed this loophole which is shame but that is not what others signed up for
They had suspects DNA from the murder, but did not know who he was, her DNA partially matched suspects DNA that was found on victim, so you trace her name to find out what relatives of hers knew victim or lived in the are of the victim, bingo now you you have a name, test his DNA it's a match to the DNA found on murder victim.
Genetic Genealogy... through triangulation a p rein can find common ancestors between cousins. So you go “back” to find the great grandparents... then you move forward and find where a kid of great grandparents married a kid from another set of Great Grandparents and you have the unknown person’s grandparents. This is done not just for murders and Jane Does... people use this to figure out biological parents for adoptees or other people that might have an unknown parent.

This is a lesson to anybody wanting to commit a crime. If you leave your DNA at the scene you will be found. It might not be you or even a close relative that gives it away but it most likely will be somebody you have never met that puts you behind bars.

Why do people always say “they went to the grave not knowing “. Me thinks, from the Book of Nancy, they went to heaven and are all finally together again. Just an optimistic person. Great job Girl that guy is in jail!
Umm what? They died not knowing what happened to their relative, that is literally all that occurred . Nothing else. They say “they went to the grave not knowing” because *they went to the grave not knowing*
Here ma,am is why that is true.When we die we become unconscious or as Eccl 9:5-10 says "conscious of nothing"This agrees with Ezekiel 18:4 which states that the soul "dies".This agrees with the account at John11:11-15 where Jesus describes his friend Lazarus who had died as "resting " and "sleeping".When he said this he was on his way to resurrect his friend from the dead.So since Lazarus was Jesus friend and you are taught that good people go to heaven when they die,you would have to conclude that Jesus robbed Lazarus of his heavenly reward.But that is not the case,as Jesus own words and actions demonstrated.Jesus even wept over Lazarus death,and that would not be so if Lazarus was in heaven.No Lazarus was dead,"sleeping"resting"conscious of nothing" and the kind thing that Jesus did was restore him to life.The bible clearly teaches a coming resurrection of "both the righteous and the unrighteous"Act24:15.Yet christendom teaches that the unrighteous go to a fiery hell forever,no escape.So why and from where will they be resurrected?From the grave,where like Lazarus,they"are conscious of nothing".Hebrew word for this condition of lifelessness is ,Sheol,the Greek word is, Hades.The English translation of these words is ,Hell, so you see Hell is mankinds common grave not a place of torment.Yes Revelation speaks of a lake of fire,but that is symbolic because it goes on to say that "death" is thrown in to the "lake of fire".Death is not a literal object that can be picked up and thrown,so neither is the lake of fire literal.If you truly are looking for the truth,meaning what the bible really teaches,go to JW.ORG.You will discover the truth,but understand, this will take courage.It takes courage to believe the truth.
I think when someone who wants to commit a crime knows they can track him through his relatives’ DNA this will not prevent him from committing the crime, but instead he will try not to leave any DNA evidence in the crime scene.
I believe that when the mother passed her daughter was there waiting. (her father as well) We hear a lot of those statements, 'I want to know before I die' and that is just because our minds cannot comprehend what happens after we die. That is what I believe.
This report completely fails to explain HOW this women submitting her DNA led to finding a killer. Simply saying that it did is not reporting anything of value.
I remember this case strongly and it happened before I was even a thought. It was so sad what happened to Michelle. All she wanted to do was get a winter coat at the mall and this sick man took her life

They were more than vague about that. I THINK what happened is the cops had taken DNA samples from the victim's body but there were no matches at the time. The killer either hadn't been arrested before or was arrested before DNA tests became available. This lady's DNA must have been a close enough match, when the unknown killer's DNA was again submitted, to lead to looking back at suspects and getting DNA samples from them. I THINK!
@@helenhunter4540 check out the full story about how they nailed the Golden State Killer via DNA and GedMatch/Para on Labs. Full explanation. I can't get my head around genealogy. It's like magic.
They may have had a suspect but no way to tie him in. If she was a match to a certain degree they can trace the geneology tree back to him. They may have used that as probable cause to get a warrant for DNA evidence too.
I believe the feds would have simply checked the names of individuals (and therefore families) on the shared list and compared it with suspects or persons of interest and when they got a hit looked at the name more closely and then probably asked for or acquired a sample of his dna to compare it with the sample from the crime scene
Can someone pls summarize the crime and let me know if there are links that will give more info of how they got the DNA info and triggered solving the case? a bit confuse about the story.
It's certainly already written up in news articles, so gather some keywords from this video and search them. Names of the people, locations, "DNA", "murder".
Its a very poorly scripted piece and actually explains nothing. She uploaded her DNA and somehow someone discovered some relative of hers had killed someone. Rubbish journalism.
Horrible reporting and editing. You show one guy, her father and don't clearly say who the arrested man is in relation to the woman being interviewed. If I have to watch it again, at home alone, on a laptop that's in front of me...what about a busy person who's watching on a phone? Can ya' think things through for next time?
When she put her DNA out there to find relatives, the list included a man who was in the same area as the victim. When they got his name from that list, they checked his DNA and it was a match to what was found on the murder victim. Arrest was made.
@@DWF33 Lol no that doesn't make sense. His DNA profile was in the database without a name attached, when she uploaded her DNA it came back as a match to his unnamed DNA. Then they used her and the other relatives on GEDmatch to make a family tree and find his name.
You will need to test with Ancestry or one of those companies and then upload the results to Gedmatch. As I recall, that part is free, and the site where you tested would instruct you on how. Gedmatch will ask if you are willing to allow police to access your DNA.
The killer had left his blood on the victim. The cold case detective working the case came across the killer's blood among the evidence stowed away in storage. There was no match in the DNA database until the woman in this story got curious about her family tree and submitted her DNA. The result showed that she and the killer were related. Investigators narrowed the search to the killer's branch of the family. They were able to eliminate the killer's 2 brothers and positively identify the blood found on the victim as his.
for now they help the odd cold case, what is going to happen to all this dna evidence in the future? i would suggest you never send dna in to these companies
It’s called “genetic genealogy”. They had DNA (probably sperm) from the killer and compared it to people in a genealogy database (like GEDmatch) where she happened to be a distant match. Then they just went backwards through her family tree (by comparing the DNA and/or sifting through family records) until they got an exact match. Google “golden state killer” because it’s the most famous case solved through genetic genealogy and there are articles detailing the process more thoroughly.
@@Bibblesupremacy1992 *I* don't have to "get over it" as you put it, *they* do :( . If it were just a matter of looks who cares ? But it's a major health issue :( .
The description says everything you get on this video. It doesn't tell how the DNA helped, what the results were, how the girl passed away, or what the connection was with the person they claim committed the murder with the victim or the person in this video. Nothing - fairly uninformative, honestly.
Gordon Dahle, the woman just looking for relatives by checking her DNA brought up a list of people she had never met, including the man accused of that murder. They were able to crosscheck the DNA found on the murder victim's body and match it to him.
After the era of Trump and seeing the utter disregard for the rule of law; DNA websites are a very, very, bad idea. I basically disowned my entire family when they tried to force me to 23andme. I do not take kindly to 'legal' threats.
Parents should be "expected" to furnish dna evidence at a child's birth. This evidence should be mandatory and available to the parents, child and legal system. If a mother won't come forward with the information, the child should be removed and placed in foster care, until the matter is straightened out. jh PS: It wont matter to most but it would help prevent or close most criminal cases. jh

It doesn't tell how the DNA helped, what the results were, how the girl passed away, or what the connection was with the person they claim committed the murder with the victim or the person in this video. Nothing - fairly uninformative, honestly.
You really didn’t tell us much.
Story doesn’t make any sense. How did her DNA results solve a crime?? 🙄
Gordon Dahle, the woman just looking for relatives by checking her DNA brought up a list of people she had never met, including the man accused of that murder. They were able to crosscheck the DNA found on the murder victim's body and match it to him.
Lousy reporting ladies, complete flub!
I guess I didn't listen close enough? Was it her father that killed the blonde girl?
1:23 - 1:29 to a distant relative!
No. Her father died in 2009. 0:44 - 0:56
Distant relative
A distant uncle. DNA cM across segments, tells where in the family tree the person is.
Rewatch it, it's just 2:40 minutes. It was not her father.
This does not explain anything about the story, how it helped solve the case

After the era of Trump and seeing the utter disregard for the rule of law; DNA websites are a very, very, bad idea. I basically disowned my entire family when they tried to force me to 23andme. I do not take kindly to 'legal' threats.
Awww poor baby
Parents should be "expected" to furnish dna evidence at a child's birth. This evidence should be mandatory and available to the parents, child and legal system. If a mother won't come forward with the information, the child should be removed and placed in foster care, until the matter is straightened out. jh PS: It wont matter to most but it would help prevent or close most criminal cases. jh
No right to privacy? This is only legit for criminals
