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.

And, the CCP own your DNA info, now.

Way to go!

Those DNA test kits are like the covid test kits full of errors.

My daughter did the 23 and me one. They’ve updated her ethnicity twice.. months apart. How does that happen?

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

Wait until medical insurance companies start denying people medical insurance for certain illnesses because their DNA results show a family propensity for that illness and it gets classified as a pre-existing condition.

Because they are constantly doing research to get it more precise. Each update gets you closer to original location of the ancestors.

It’s a good way to get your DNA on record without violating your rights.

“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.”

Here is a possible reason in a very strange video.

If accurate, it appears to have occult qualities.

LOL - I’m well aware of the “rule”... I do it way too often, in fact.

That seems bizarre not to mention a pair of twins that did it had different ancestry from several like DNA labs.

Be a perfect defense I would think. I may be a match judge but give a month or two my DNA may change.

Let’s start with her lie that they got her DNA from her 23andMe test. The only DNA companies that cooperate with law enforcement are GEDMatch and FTDNA. She may have tested with 23andMe, but she would have had to have uploaded her DNA to one of the others and AGREED (by reading a blurb and checking a box) to allow law enforcement to use her DNA for cold cases.
All she is doing with this article is promoting herself and hurting the cause for others searching for family. Many people will read this and be afraid to take these tests because “the government/law enforcement might frame me for a crime”. She should have told the truth and admitted she uploaded her DNA and literally agreed to allow law enforcement to use her DNA.

Their DNA did not change, the reference panels for ethnicity changed. As they learn more about inheritance, things will be updated.

“Do you really think they erased their DNA from their files?”

Ditto for the Covid tests. I’ve always believed the tests were more for data mining (of DNA) than for testing. The test results were glaringly inaccurate.

“it’s always interesting to see that you are correct, and you may even find a couple of unknowns... People you are related to that you didn’t know you were related to.”

So true. My sister and I put on a “cousins’ reunion” last June for our generation — Grandpa’s grandchildren and families. In a SMALL town. Not even a traffic light.

100 people came. Two little girls came with their hair in buns and wearing makeup. They were friends, and their dance class had a recital later that day. Their parents had no clue they were related. (Their mothers were distant cousins.)

Two older ladies in their 40s taught at the same school in the adjacent town, and were surprised to see each other there. They didn’t know they were related.

Our generation has always been close, but over 80 years the branches of the family tree spread in different directions.

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

I would be gobsmacked if they haven’t been doing that for years already.
