Joseph James DeAngelo, the suspected Golden State Killer
It’s going to be everyone or just white folk?
Why not database everyone at birth or entry into the US?
And we can ask for these databases from all of the nations that have membership in the UN. Including the rapist diplomats.
No one forces you to send your DNA to an ancestry database.
And you better hope that second cousin Suzie on your dad’s side and third cousin Earl on your mom’s side of the family does not send in their DNA.
I thought that race was a social construct.
I am of the opinion that EVERY violent felon should have their DNA taken and recorded post conviction. This would serve to simplify cold case files buy facilitating DNA searches.
By the time most criminals see a conviction, they have already committed several crimes.
If they're gonna find me so I can get my $50 million it better be soon...I ain't gettin' any younger.
I’m sure the library carpet here has the DNA of a few thousand people.
And the local sewer is probably loaded too.
Forensics could become a very stinky job.
DNA is a fantastic tool. I recently had my 96-year-old mother take a DNA test. Her mother, my grandmother, was adopted in 1889, and we had no idea who her biological parents were. Thanks to some 2nd and 3rd cousin matches, within 3 weeks of getting her results, I had found both my grandmother’s birth mother and the biological father.

Ancestry and Amazon are the only authorized sellers of AncestryDNA: “AncestryDNA® is available for purchase online at ancestry.com/dna/ and in four continents and 35 countries around the globe. With over 10 million DNA tests in our database, Ancestry is the largest provider of consumer genetic testing in the world.”
With Ancestory.com, I have just under 18,000 identified/probable relatives and only about 1,100 have a DNA link. That is a fairly larger base versus the less than 400 DNA links a few weeks ago.
Ancestry recently sent out % changes in the countries where our DNA profiles came from. Their changes from originally based on the relatively small DNA numbers compared to the larger numbers created a lot of surprises with many of us.
For example my previous DNA % from the Iberian peninsula went from a range of 5-7+% to nothing. I still have over a hundred plus Iberian ancestors. Yet, I have 0% on my report.
My UK and Western Europe went from about 35% to close to 90%.
California has money for rocket trains that go from no where to no where, and it doesn’t have money to do complete DNA tests of rape kits going back years.
Apparently, this is sop for most big blue cities/counties/states in America.
We know retired and still working ER nurses friends. Who feel that the elites in charge of Sacramento, and our big blue cities don’t want those DNA rape kits used to identify the rapists.
The Genographic Project (Have Your DNA Checked, Find Your Roots)
Our DNA was used in this Project:
If you're company has less than X percent of a certain race as employees, you must be guilty of racial discrimination, yes?
Be wary of "dragnet dna". It's one thing to use it as a possible lead in a case, but shouldn't be used by itself to get something like a no-knock warrant.
Of course, many won't care until they are the ones mistakenly dragged out of bed in the middle of the night and stuck w/jail and thousands in legal fees defending themselves.
Before supporting what's discussed in this article, I strongly recommend you familiarize yourself with the concept of false positives.
I just don't feel invaded by it.
"Scientists see Iceland as a goldmine for doing genetics research. The country was founded by a small group of settlers from Europe arriving about 1,100 years ago and it remained isolated for the next thousand years"
There are 360,000 closely related people living in Iceland today.
Seems like this is a mute point, pretty well set in cement, apart from a complete breakdown of society’s records. I guess we need to deal with it.
