I tell everyone my genealogy results.The discussions on BK's DNA on a knife sheath found next to one of the victims, and how it led LE to him keeps taking me back to a discussion he supposedly had with his neighbor about submitting his DNA for genealogical testing:
Tracking Kohberger: Idaho Murder Suspect Told Neighbor About Taking an Ancestral DNA Test
Kohberger told neighbor of prior DNA test, raising questions about how police found him - East Idaho News
Idaho suspect Bryan Kohberger sent DNA for genetic testing to explore ancestry: neighbor
It doesn't really make sense on the face of it since LE apparently didn't find a DNA match to him in 'available databases'.
Maybe he said this under false pretenses to add to the distraction and noise of DNA evidence and databases, as in the guy told me his DNA "was out there" !
So if his DNA wasn't found in the house then he couldn't be a suspect?
Or he sent it to a company that will not share DNA with LE?
Or sent someone else’s DNA in under an assumed name whose DNA is an unidentified male whose DNA would be found at the house?
It's a bit mind bending, but hey, lesser criminals have come up with all kinds of “don’t look over here” tactics, and he was a criminology student after all so should know a thing or two about DNA.
This has always been a real head scratcher for me because the DNA aspect of this case seems complicated enough as it is.
I could be wrong about this not making sense, if he did say this to his neighbor, but if it does make sense it seems like he was planting this info re his DNA with his unsuspecting neighbor to "add to the churn" and possibly goes to a SODDI/TODDI defense.
Which as I've wondered often about before, now sounds like it could be surfacing up from out of all the possibilities (SODDI/TODDI).
MOO
In reality it’s not mine. It’s my sisters. We share both parents so it’s a super close approximation of my genetic makeup.
It could really be something as benign as that or maybe he just lied for the sake of conversation.
