I was expecting 23andMe strikes again! Just regular police work.
stop promoting the idea that DNA is evidence.
hey, this was an episode of Law & Order
forensic genetic genealogy
I’m happy they got the guy, but this is why people submitting their DNA to any lab should understand that it also reveals the DNA of all your blood relatives to some extent, not just yours and yours alone.
Not everyone would be pleased to find out they inadvertently got their child arrested for whatever crime even if it is ‘just’.
I’m a twin. I do not have exclusive license over my DNA, and also I fear I’m gonna get picked-up for some crime he committed 20 years ago.
They matched the guys own DNA to DNA he left at the crime scene. Did you eve read the article, or do you just need something to be outraged about today?
Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said on social media that his office’s sexual assault kit initiative funded forensic genetic genealogy testing that “narrowed the list of suspects.”
so…
Did you eve read the article?
I don’t get that—they got eleven matches in their database, which presumably only covers a fraction of the whole population. So there are potentially tens or hundreds of people out there who could match, most of which they don’t even know. And the article doesn’t really say how they narrowed down the list to him in particular, especially since he’s not even from the same state.
Thanks. Not only that but did I sound outraged? People should know to check with all their direct blood relatives and get their approval before submitting potential evidence to 23AndMe or similar to avoid potential family friction/crises. That’s all.
I’d be cool with it if it was murder. That being said fuck these companies selling data to police and insurance companies

CBS is left-center? The AP is left-center? ABC is left-center?
Does anyone know what number I can dial to reach MBFC’s “fuck all the way off you bunch of frauds” department?
Neither CBS, AP, or ABC organizations appears to support the removal of a woman’s right to choose her reproductive habits, nor do they make any claims that the 2020 election was stolen, never even seen them make claims that climate change is fake.
However, I also haven’t seen them advocate for single payer healthcare, or expansion of pathways of citizenship for the undocumented, or extreme restriction of gun ownership.
So left-center seems pretty sound to me. So what part of “left-center” offends you in that bot’s analysis?
Sorry, no, even in the right-wing Overton window hellhole that is the US, not giving credence to the completely, obviously baseless and brazenly fascist lie that the 2020 election was stolen isn’t bias toward the “center-left”.
The offense I take is that MBFC consistently conflates reporting actual, undeniably factual statements with left-wing bias, which is emblematic of the ridiculous place it chooses to plant its center (US politics is their stated location). But more importantly, even from that ridiculously skewed starting point, it’s patently ridiculous to call these organizations “center-left”.
MBFC is a trash organization that poisons the well for sources by calling them left-biased on the basis that they report true things. They themselves show consistent bias toward the right-wing (for example, they consider both The Guardian and Breitbart “MIXED” in their factual accuracy based on wild double standards) but then try to equate basic factual reporting as political bias.
