I Took a 23andMe DNA Test — and Cops Linked Me to an Unsolved Murder
New York Post ^ | February 2, 2023 | Asia Grace

When homicide detectives called Jackie Vadurro at the end of January, claiming to have matched her 23andMe DNA test kit to a 36-year-old cold case murder, she thought they were joking. But, no — the cops were dead serious.

SNIP

Vadurro, a content creator who lives in an RV around Palm Springs, CA., went on to reveal that the detective said her DNA was a possible match to a 1986 cold case murder of a Jane Doe who’d been fatally shot and thrown off onto the side of a rural San Diego road.

SNIP

“And now they think that I might be her family member because of my DNA that I uploaded on 23andMe,” she shrieked.

Something good came of this generation’s annoying penchant for taking pictures and videos of themselves and posting them?

And why are they always in cars? 🤔

I call those “Seatbelt Selfies.”

Rock music writer Mikal Gilmore kept his real name although his brother was Gary Gillmore the convicted and executed serial killer. Wrote a book and had a movie about it later.

Guess that qualifies as a black sheep in the family for holiday dinner talk.

His book was called: “Remarkable, astonishing... Shot in the Heart reads like a combination of Brothers Karamazov and a series of Johnny Cash ballads... chilling, heartbreaking, and alarming.” It won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.

In 2001, Shot in the Heart became an HBO film. The 1977 punk rock single “Gary Gilmore’s Eyes” by the band The Adverts was used in the soundtrack of the movie. The song is written from “the point of view of a hospital patient who has received the eyes of Gary Gilmore in a transplant.”

There are some serious problems with dna testing, especially in certain parts of the country.

Just wait until they take every baby’s DNA for “statistical” purposes.

Imagine the massive database the totalitarians will have at their disposal.

A guy said he didn’t know his wife was dead until the dishes started piling up in the sink.

““I got a ‘No Caller ID’ call on my phone,” the brunette explained online.”

Answering a ‘No Caller ID’ call on her phone was her first mistake.

This will help ID the victim, they can use the living woman’s family tree to figure out the common ancestor, and then work out who the victim is.

I was able to use a text editor to look for a defective allele in the MTHFR gene.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

So let’s say you had a few one night stands in your youth. These DNA tests could really cause a problem. A friend was asking of course.

Interesting post. My husband reacted to ibuprofen with angioedema. He’s done 23 and me and did the health marker profile. Are there certain genetic sequences that we should look for with that?

Yeah I was going to say, sounds to me like she may be related to the victim.

You know how I can tell you didn’t read the article?

You need to brush up on the unwritten rules around here.

It's post your response, then read. Not Read then Post.

"It is bad policy to have your DNA sent to any private company. I have to think that it will eventually hurt DNA companies like 23 and me in the long run. "

23Andme is involved in a big scam based on the mistaken idea that small amounts of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans implies past interbreeding. That DNA arose from early humans EATING Neanderthals, not ****ing them.... In those days, members of a human war party eating a Neanderthal that had been killed in battle was just sending the Neanderthals a message in their own language...
