Nah, it's not like it was a "sell out".Did I miss something?

I don’t know that much about DNA tests. Hans from the Netherlands matched my first cousin on My Heritage. Because my own father had been overseas during WW2, I took the My Heritage and was NOT a match. Then he did Ancestry and found some matches. So I tracked them down and found his half sister. These companies do not share information.
So when they find DNA at a crime scene..who does the testing? How do they find family matches? Are they only in the company you paid to do it or do they have access? Too bad there wasn’t just one company that had all the information.
and..it gets "deeper" LOLWell well well.

That’s where GED Match comes in - it’s an opt in site where you can upload your raw DNA files. You obtain your file/report from the testing company of your choice. Joining GED Match, you can easily find relatives who tested with a different service than yours. Basically, you are comparing yourself against a much wider pool of populations, and can find your admixture- the best guess on where all your people were from.
Or maybe find if one happens to be a killer. Fingers crossed.
I tend to think serial killer too sometimes when I dwell on him taking on two girls at once. If they'd been younger I could see it more but these were teenagers. I don't know, maybe Abby's slight stature made her a pushover in his eyes. God Bless those two angels.I'll agree with ya on some of that (I think he is a loner and likes knives/guns/weapons and likely lives and works in seclusion as much as possible. ) but I dont think this was a spontaneous crime, an unplanned crime, or a rageful overreaction to being giggled at. I think he was there hunting for a victim that day. I believe he had weapons and tools of the trade (kill kit) under that overstuffed coat and he was on a mission to kill. Not a hit per se no. But a predator out hunting. I believe he is a serial killer. I have always felt this way since the very beginning.

Do you think they will have done this? Maybe that could be how they know about reddish brown hair? That isn't Mediterranean though but more Northern Europe right?
I for one find all this fascinating Charlot. It shows just how complicated it can be, how tedious, to track down to a singular person who has never been arrested since the DNA collection laws have come into play. I thank you for explaining it so thoroughly. It all intrigues me as I do believe Delphi killer left some of his DNA at the scene. I hope it can be narrowed down to a suspect that then can then bring to justice.I think we have had very few killers tracked down by the DNA, so far. But, it is the beginning.
This is good enough for forensic DNA. DNA Evidence: How It’s Done
For family matches, they need to translate the DNA (code) they have to the format that Gedmatch accepts, and then, download it into GEDMATCH. Formatting was a problem for the first (GSK) case, but not anymore. Then they load this kit (code, not material) into Gedmatch under a certain name and run it through, probably using "one-to-many" program, to find matches - relatives. The closer, the better. Then the genealogists build the tree upward for the match, to find a common ancestor (for me and my first cousins, it would be our grandparents, for example. For me and for my uncle once removed, it would be his grandparents and my great-grandparents...etc, for me and my second cousins, it would be our great-grandparents...you also need to know the line, so the closer the match, the better, as it is easier to sort things out). Usually depending on the percentage of the match, one can approximately tell the degree of the connection/separation.
AncestrySupport
When they come to the projected common ancestor, they start building a full tree for him, downwards. His kids, his grandkids, etc. And then try to sort out who of his descendants would fit - who lived in the area of the crime, was of the appropriate age, etc. I think for GSK, they found about three possible perps, and then collected DNA (from thrash bins) for all of them. One matched...
Now, I am not a genealogist, and I am straddled by my own tree (lack of information about one line, period). So I am far from the regular genealogy work, things might be more complicated. But this is how I understand it.
I wonder what happens if there is only a mitochondrial match. Meaning, that it is direct maternal line, as mitochondria get transmitted via the egg, so, from mother's side. It could rule out the suspects, if there is no match, and if the haplotype of the mitochondria DNA is rare, it probably would be very suspicious, if you get a match. But it is still complicated. As I have mentioned, my dad's mitotype is met in 1:20000 cases, if even that oftne. So the presence of a hair shaft of such a type at the crime scene would cast suspicion on him, his mother, his maternal grandmother, his sister, his sister's daughter, or her children. But not me, as I got my mitochondria from my mom. But if the mitotype is very common (like, pure H, without private mutations), chances are, many people might have it.
Yes.Does anyone think the killer or someone(GF/BF or parent) close to the killer could have visited this site? I know of it happening in a different case on a different site.

Yes, yes, and yes. But he is innocent until proven guilty. ( Very capable of doing it in my book)Does anyone think the killer or someone(GF/BF or parent) close to the killer could have visited this site? I know of it happening in a different case on a different site.
Well if he could possibly have shown up at a press conference as ISP Carter has led up to surmise, he could definitely look on different social media to see what's being said about him.Does anyone think the killer or someone(GF/BF or parent) close to the killer could have visited this site?

Yes, that is odd, ESPECIALLY after the April 22nd PC, seeing they now believe he either lives in Delphi, visits Delphi or works in Delphi. The only explanation I can come up with is that initially they took the position that this was most likely a random killing by an out-of-state killer so reoffending in the area was unlikely? HOWEVER, now that they believe the killer is local, "may be in this very room" local, I can only conclude that this was not a random attack, it was targeted, and they suspect why, and therefore do not feel everyday citizens of Delphi need to fear for their children, UNLESS, they are involved in the seedy underworld of methamphetamine and other illegal goings on. As always, JMOSomething that I can not wrap my mind around is why have LE never told the public to watch out for danger ? It just seems so odd that they don't ever say this crazed animal is out there and could strike again.
Yes...this has always bothered me, especially living close to the area. Do we have a freakin serial killer amongst or what?Something that I can not wrap my mind around is why have LE never told the public to watch out for danger ?
