There are two sides of this coin. On one hand, it’s creepy as all hell that people are being found, not just by their own DNA, but by the submissions of relatives, and who knows where this can lead. On the other side, it’s bittersweet justice. Whoever would have thought that something done 4 decades ago could come back to haunt these very bad people in such a way, and even if they aren’t out to harm anyone anymore, they still got it coming. No pity for them being elderly when they face justice either. How much mercy did they show to the innocents they harmed?
I know of a woman who, at age 16 or so, back in 1970, gave up her illegitimate baby for adoption. She had no way of knowing who the person is - until now.
Her sister gave a DNA sample to one of these companies and it showed the usual suspects as “similar” - but also a guy on the west coast nobody knew about.
Well, this woman did a search and found him on Facebook and he looks just like her other kids she had from her later marriage. And his birth date matches exactly the day she gave birth.
The question is, does she tell him who she is? It’s a mess.
Yep, really creepy that the police can find murderers. Better that they can remain free and have the opportunity to commit more murders.
