'Family man': Parkway shooting suspect's family, boss express shock
Which other crimes do you think he committed?
It is my opinion that the campaign to encourage people to OPT IN to sites like GEDMATCH and other genealogical websites is unethical as it should be the decision of an individual and not a campaign. Here is a page advocating other people to OPT IN with their DNA:
Public Education – How you can help forensic genealogists
Of course the US Department Of Justice has recently issued new guidelines about the use of genetic genealogy in criminal cases:
Department of Justice Announces Interim Policy on Emerging Method to Generate Leads for Unsolved Violent Crimes
Just want to make the point that DNA by definition is unique to an individual hence it should be an individuals decision. For instance how do you know the people advocating that other people enter their DNA into a database have done so with theirs.
I agree. Laws to protect the privacy of an individual's genetic information are not very good. People don't realize that sharing their DNA information with private companies can subject them (and their families) to unfair discrimination in so many areas from jobs, to insurance to credit and lending, etc. This information is often shared without the person's knowledge and there's no real penalty to people who share it or companies who use it to discriminate. There are some terrible stories about what has happened to people when their employer or mortgage holder, etc. get access to that kind of information.
These are uncharted waters, when it comes to using DNA in the area of law enforcement. It's a fantastic tool to help LE and they should be able to use it, but not until there are better protections for innocent people, relatives, etc.
Good and interesting post on my thread
I am in favour of criminals being caught and victims families getting justice and have tried for years to get answers for some. From what I have seen I happen to believe LE can make some mistakes because they are only human and these mistakes have included with genetic genealogy. From what I know and see I just think it is unethical for people to encourage other people to enter their DNA into databases when as you say above there could be negative consequences and the people encouraging other people to do so do not know all the facts or what will happen. It appears DA's have been advocating members enter their DNA into databases for them to use and to me this in unethical and for example how do you know the DA's have done it. However that is not really the point is to me it is unethical for them to encourage people with no criminal records to do so particularly as they may only be hearing of the benefits of genetic genealogy second hand. Also I think LE and former LE have a responsibility not to try and influence younger more impressionable people in these matters:
Last week the Association of Deputy District Attorneys sought to simultaneously bring attention to the nonprofit Institute for DNA Justice while also calling on citizens to become so called “genetic witnesses” by submitting their DNA information for use by the police.

I do not believe it was there primary motive but it needs to be said ParaBon Labs are a private company whose profit depends on their use of genetic genealogy. Others are part of the genealogy scene and therefore have their biases and this is why I am saying it us an individuals decision:

As people may know I believe Ralph Leon Jackson was actually the East Area Rapist and that Joseph DeAngelo was identified through scientifically flawed investigative genetic genealogy. I also believe because he crimes were stopped in 2010 who was also the NorCal Rapist. People can be fooled because he was finally captured in his home state not far from his home he did not travel about but this was not the case. Here is a report about he NorCal Rapist case:

Hey jaejae, i've seen you mention this guy in several threads. Just curious what is it that originally made you hung up on him? Is there any evidence circumstantial or not to think he carried out any of these crimes and if so what is it? Has he been mentioned as a suspect or poi or just at all in any cases he wasn't convicted of?
It is my opinion Jackson is the worst Serial Killer in US history and I regard this as a great sleight. This is because bottom line I regard Jackson as English and I am totally ashamed someone with such a nice and honest sounding name would behave it that way. Cheers
