A True Crime fan, I once saw a case where a woman, disenchanted with her marriage, set up her husband for murder.
She was in law enforcement, handling fingerprinting. Using some kind of tape, she transferred her husband’s fingerprints to the door handle of a murdered person’s car. It worked. For a while. But she eventually was found out.
It would be SO much easier for someone at 23 And Me to grab some DNA on file and do nefarious things with it. Imagine voluntarily handing over basically who you are to random unknown people. Shudder.
In one of Scott Turow’s 90’s novels-and the movie made from it-”Presumed Innocent”-the jealous wife of an assistant DA murdered her husband’s mistress-went to the woman’s home, cleverly staged the scene as a rape-and-murder, left hubby’s DNA on a glass on the kitchen counter-wine, I think-and on/in the private parts of the mistress, then sat back, played the wronged-but loving wife-hoping hubby would go to prison for life. It almost worked, too-the movie kept me on the edge right until the end.
You are right-someone with a criminal mind at 23 And Me could provide that to someone’s enemy-for a price, of course-and the consequences could be catastrophic for the targeted victim. I’ll pass on the 23 And Me and those other testing services, thanks...
