VA VA - Ralph Leon Jackson, Blue Ridge Parkway Shooter, 4 May 2010

[jaejae]

Here are details of the latest case where investigative genetic genealogy has been used to identify a possible suspect in serious crime case. I again say if anyone is interested that it is my opinion that many innocent people have been wrongly accused of crimes they did not commit through the use of investigative genetic genealogy which has scientific flaws in it. There are in my opinion long protracted legal proceedings against innocent people based on supposed trillion to one DNA hits which are in my opinion in reality non existent and the product of erroneous and poor science. These include the cases of the Golden State Killer and the NorCal Rapist case where in my opinion the actual offender was a man called Ralph Leon Jackson:

In my opinion at the moment the proponents of investigative genealogy are being allowed to promote it vigorously without the facts about its scientific flaws being made available to the public and this includes in my opinion that the case of Mr Talbott in Washington State was actually a wrongful conviction where the science behind the erroneous DNA was not challenged. A case in Colorado has recently been solved through the use of investigative genealogy. In this case a man who I think likely represents a private company is talking about his companies role in it. I am sure his company has got all of his cases right but others such as ParaBon Labs have not and I am sure the major motivation for these companies is to solve the cases for the victims as stated in the video but they are also concerned with financial profit in my opinion and with investigative genetic genealogy in my opinion we have seen the increased commercialization of it for business reasons as with the say of GEDMATCH which in my opinion was motivated by money:

My posts on this thread are my heartfelt beliefs based on years of study of the EAR/ONS AKA Golden State Killer case. Again in my opinion investigative genetic genealogy because of its scientific flaws has been used to wrongly accuse a number of people of crimes they did not commit and this includes in the Golden State Killer case where in my opinion the actual offender was a man called Ralph Leon Jackson. It is therefore my opinion that the mistakes through the use of flawed investigative genetic genealogy pose a real danger to innocent people as seen in the case of Mr DeAngelo in the Golden State Killer case. The use of investigative genetic genealogy is gaining momentum based in my opinion off the wrongful conviction of Mr Talbott in Washington State where the flawed science behind it was not challenged. Here are details of an upcoming investigative genetic genealogy conference:

Here is a link to a Twitter Page for District Attorneys where investigative genetic genealogy is being promoted. As I say I believe the science behind it is flawed and it has actually lead to innocent people being wrongly accused of crimes they did not commit and Sacramento LE have likely used it to wrongly accuse three innocent men of crimes they did not commit alone and this includes in the Golden State Killer case:

I would therefore argue that flawed investigative genetic genealogy actually has a negative impact on the human rights of those wrongly accused through its scientific flaws. Again I address concerned individuals, groups, lawyers and politicians including the Governor Of California to look into it for me in light of my belief that Joseph DeAngelo is actually an innocent man wrongly accused of crimes he did not commit and the actual offender was a man called Ralph Leon Jackson who served ten years in the military and was likely stationed at Mather Airforce base in the mid 1970s.

Here is a recent video about investigative genetic genealogy which is an interview with CeCe Moore. I know it may be an unpopular opinion but it is my opinion that she has actually got many of her cases wrong through flawed science she does not understand including the case of Coley McCraney in the Alabama double murder and the case of Mr Talbott in Washington State which in my opinion was a wrongful conviction after the DNA evidence was not challenged:

If you'd like to learn more about the rapidly expanding field of genetic genealogy, you're listening to the right show. Joining us is DNA expert CeCe Moore, an investigative genetic genealogist whose work has helped to solve high profile crime cases and helped connect individuals of unknown parentage with their biological relatives. You may be familiar with her from 20/20, Dr. Oz, 60 Minutes, and "Finding Your Roots"

CeCe Moore is advocating that people enter their DNA into databases for her and other genealogists to use and again I ask people to look into the fact I believe that a number of mistakes have been made with investigative genetic genealogy and the wrong people being accused of crimes they did not commit.

Here are details of a case where the mother of a deceased infant has been identified:

A message seeking comment was left at a phone listing for Roche on Tuesday.




Cossette said new DNA testing on samples from the blankets identified distant relatives of Roche and eventually led detectives to question her at her home on Jan. 2, the 32nd anniversary of the infant being found. Officials said she acknowledged she was the baby’s mother and was remorseful.

“Miss Roche indicated that she had been waiting 32 years for the day in which police would be knocking on her door,” Cossette said.

Of course this is a very sad case and here is another report about it:

According to NBC News, Fitzpatrick discovered a possible last name for the infant — who was only a few days old at the time he was found — and submitted the DNA for further testing in 2017.

“This was one of the first cases to go on GEDmatch in 2017,” Fitzpatrick said at a news conference on Tuesday. “We put DNA on GEDmatch. We get a list of DNA cousins…and without contacting anybody, we figure out who they are and we start building the family trees.”

Here is a report about the use of investigative genetic genealogy by Las Vegas LE. Again I say in my opinion that the investigative genetic genealogy used in the Golden State Killer case was flawed science and in my opinion Joseph DeAngelo is an innocent man and the actual offender was a man called Ralph Leon Jackson and in this case and others the website GEDMATCH'S DNA profiles were used to misidentify innocent men as the offenders in crimes they did not commit:

“It will link you into relatives that you have to then kind of cull through,” Murga said.

The two biggest databases that law enforcement has access to are familytree.com and GEDmatch, which Murga described as the “brain child” of investigators searching for the Golden State Killer. In April 2018, law enforcement in California arrested Joseph DeAngelo after tracking him down through the database.

DeAngelo is suspected of at least 12 homicides and 45 rapes in California in the ’70s and ‘80s. The Golden State Killer case, while not the first to use genetic genealogy, flung the investigative method into the public’s eye.

When investigators were searching for the Golden State Killer, law enforcement was able to search everyone on GEDmatch, but now users have to “opt-in.”


“That has drastically reduced the amount of profiles that are available,” Murga said, adding that there are about 50,000 profiles on GEDmatch available for law enforcement out of about 1.4 million profiles in total.

Here is a Facebook page about investigative genetic genealogy training for LE. Again I say in my opinion what I consider to be the mistakes made by those using it are relevant such as in the Golden State Killer case where in my opinion the actual offender was a man called Ralph Leon Jackson. The logic being that some of those doing the training may be some of those who do not understand the flaws in investigative genetic genealogy and may have been involved in mistakes that have misidentified innocent men as the possible offenders in serious crimes:

I again I address Public Defenders in all investigative genetic genealogy cases and particularly with this post those representing Mr DeAngelo in the Golden State Killer case and those representing Mr Waller in the NorCal Rapist case. It is my opinion that the science behind the supposed DNA hits in these cases are flawed and the DNA hits because they are of the product of flawed science are in reality non existent. In my opinion the actual offender was a man called Ralph Leon Jackson who served ten years in the military and was likely stationed at Mather Air Force base in the 1970s and was the East Area Rapist and in my opinion continued to commit crimes throughout the US up to his arrest in 2010 in Virginia and hence the NorCal Rapist crimes were part of this continued crime spree. It is my opinion the FBI are aware that both Mr DeAngelo and Mr Waller are innocent as they are aware that many other innocent people have been wrongly accused through the use of investigative genetic genealogy 'science' that is flawed and produces erroneous supposed DNA hits that are presented by LE as a trillion to one fact when in reality they are non existent. In my opinion the FBI are also aware that Mr Talbott in the Washington case is not the actual offender and that his trial resulted in a wrongful conviction because again in my opinion the flawed DNA evidence against him was not challenged:


Wednesday’s session may have been one of the most damning, with Terri Castiglia, a Sacramento County District Attorney’s criminal investigator and former Sacramento Police officer, testifying that semen and blood samples taken from various crime scenes attributed to the NorCal Rapist attacks almost certainly trace back to Waller.

“Everything was consistent with Roy Waller,” Castiglia said.

DNA samples taken from assaults in Martinez, Vallejo, Rohnert Park and Davis all showed that the likelihood of the evidence coming from a Caucasian man other than Waller was one in 360 quadrillion, she testified.

Blood evidence taken from a pillowcase at a Chico assault, where the victim stabbed her attacker with scissors as she struggled to escape, had a one in 8 trillion chance of occurring at random among Caucasian men rather than coming from Waller, she said.

I say again I am sorry for the victims and victims relatives in serious crime cases but in my opinion there have been many mistakes with its use wrongly implicating innocent men in crimes they did not commit and this includes in my opinion the case that is held out as the great inspiration and an example of great LE work the Golden State Killer case where in my opinion the actual offender was a man called Ralph Leon Jackson.

Here is a report in this New Mexico rape case where investigative genetic genealogy was used to identify a potential offender the first time it has been used in this state according to the reports:

The DA announced the arrest of 23-year-old Angel Gurule who was just 19-years-old at the time of the attack. Authorities say investigators used new techniques to trace the DNA left on the victim to a genealogy website used by Gurule’s distant family members.

Here are details of recent developments in a cold case which I ma not sure if investigative genetic genealogy was involved but there appears some indication it may have been. The suspect was already in prison for a very serious crime:

Again I say I am in favour of criminals being taken off the streets and the innocent public being protected. However as I have said before I believe there have been many mistakes been made through the use of flawed investigative genealogy 'science' and this again in my opinion has lead to one wrongful conviction that of Mr Talbott in Washington State where the DNA evidence which I believe was erroneous and flawed was not challenged. This again in my view has set a dangerous precedent giving a scientific legitimacy to investigative genealogy that in this case was not deserved.

 

[jaejae]

As I say I want to see cold cases solved for the victims families but in my opinion call me old fashioned but I like it to be the right person who is accused of the crimes or else it creates a whole new wave of victims who have been wrongly accused and impacts on their families as well and of course it is just unjust. In my opinion investigative genetic genealogy as it is being used by LE and their genealogists is a flawed 'science' and a number of misindetifications have been made including in the Golden State Killer case where in my opinion the actual offender was a man called Ralph Leon Jackson. Here is a report about LE's desire to use investigative genetic genealogy in the Long Island Serial cases:

"We believe that the belt was handled by the suspect and did not belong to any of the victims," Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart said.

Hart said they're turning to the FBI for genetic genealogy, which can find potential relatives of unidentified victims or suspects.

That technology led to the arrest of an Auburn man in 2019 for a decades-old killing in Alaska.

"Science and technology are moving forward at a mind-boggling pace, and we're making sure that we're constantly keeping up with it and utilizing technology to the best of our ability," Hart said.
