MOO- I agree with you completely and definitely messed my words up. I was trying to explain that the match that ultimately had him arrested was the trash sample with fathers dna that matched the knife sheath with enough accuracy to determine the killer was BK. Sample belonged to father of the killer.
I absolutely should have been more cognizant and careful with my words on the speculative reports I read about familial dna evidence having been used before the trash sample.
Again… anyone reading this or that… that’s still speculative and I should have prefaced that or left it out.
MOO- However I’ve attached a link to explain what I was referring to previously. While you are 100% correct… it has not been confirmed or officially publicly released… it has been reported / speculated that was not the only dna connection made and possibly not the first and that in some fashion… familial dna database searched was possibly used and was potentially the prime reason they began surveillance on BK.
Again, you are completely validated in calling me out on mentioning it above… I’m sorry I should have left speculation out…
This article specifically discusses how they find it unusual it was left out of the affidavit.
Again… I’m sorry, I will be more careful with how I word things.
Investigators found suspect Bryan Kohberger with the method that solved the Golden State Killer case. But they aren’t saying so.
