More than two years after a quadruple homicide devastated Moscow, Idaho, a judge unsealed the transcript of a recent hearing in the case against Bryan Kohberger 맥스카지노� the man accused of stabbing four students to death in an off-campus home.The hearing, which was closed to the public, came after defense attorney Anne Taylor claimed investigators acted inappropriately when using investigative genetic genealogy to try to isolate a suspect.Investigative genetic genealogy, or IGG, is a relatively new forensic technique combining DNA analysis with genealogical research. Authorities can take an unknown suspect맥스카지노�s DNA profile and upload it to a public database to learn about the suspect맥스카지노�s family members. Investigators can use that information and other evidence to build a family tree and identify potential suspects.But the defense맥스카지노�s attempt to get a judge to suppress the IGG evidence failed. And Kohberger맥스카지노�s murder trial is expected to begin this summer 맥스카지노� with the prosecution seeking the death penalty if the 30-year-old is convicted.Due to a wide-ranging gag order, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and attorneys for victims맥스카지노� families and witnesses are prohibited from saying anything publicly, aside from what is already in the public record.Here are some of the new details revealed from the transcript of the closed-door hearing:Detective learned Kohberger맥스카지노�s name only after genetic genealogyA lead detective in the case, Moscow Police Detective Cpl. Brett Payne, said he didn맥스카지노�t hear Bryan Kohberger맥스카지노�s name mentioned until Dec. 19, 2022 맥스카지노� more than a month after the killings.맥스카지노�That was a result of investigative genetic genealogy that was being undertaken by the FBI. We had a phone call that evening, and we were told Bryan Kohberger맥스카지노�s name,맥스카지노� Payne testified.But IGG wasn맥스카지노�t cited in a probable cause affidavitPayne acknowledged he didn맥스카지노�t mention the investigative genetic genealogy in a probable cause affidavit for Kohberger.맥스카지노�What led to that decision?맥스카지노� Taylor asked.맥스카지노�That decision was a collaborative decision,맥스카지노� the detective responded. 맥스카지노�We made that decision in an effort to independently verify the information that was provided to us as a tip from the FBI, in much the same way we would any other tip in law enforcement. So it was not in any way meant to obfuscate any sort of information, it was simply can we validate Mr. Kohberger맥스카지노�s involvement in this incident or can we not. That was it.맥스카지노�맥스카지노�As a group effort, you decided to intentionally leave that out of your affidavit?맥스카지노� Taylor asked.맥스카지노�Yes, ma맥스카지노�am,맥스카지노� Payne responded.Only one person맥스카지노�s DNA was detected on a knife sheathDNA testing on parts of a knife sheath detected a single source, said Rylene Nowlin, an Idaho State Police forensic laboratory manager.The lab tested samples from the knife sheath for 맥스카지노�touch DNA맥스카지노� 맥스카지노� which can come in the form of skin cells that are shed on items being touched.An analyst swabbed 맥스카지노�the entire leather portion of the strap, both top and bottom, and then the underside of the button,맥스카지노� Nowlin testified. 맥스카지노�She did not swab the top of the button because that was determined to be the most likely place for fingerprints to be found.맥스카지노�Idaho authorities traveled with the DNA to TexasIdaho State Police had a contract with Houston-based Othram laboratory for certain types of forensic work, Nowlin said. Othram specializes in DNA sequencing combined with genealogy mapping.맥스카지노�That DNA sample was delivered by Moscow Police Department in person to them at Othram labs,맥스카지노� Idaho State Police Laboratory System Director Matthew Gamette testified.맥스카지노�I accompanied the officer from Boise down to Houston and down to the Othram laboratory. I didn맥스카지노�t have possession of the sample, but I was with the investigator that did.맥스카지노�After Idaho authorities delivered the DNA sample, Gamette stayed in touch with Othram 맥스카지노�about what type of analysis we were asking them to do, also what type of searching,맥스카지노� he said.맥스카지노�I remember they asked specifically for consent to do certain types of searching. We had to authorize things through memos and whatnot of them doing certain searching, specifically I believe it was FamilyTreeDNA that they needed an authorization for,맥스카지노� said Gamette.Many popular genealogy sites don맥스카지노�t allow law enforcement searchesFamilyTreeDNA is one of two main genealogical databases that allow searching by law enforcement, Payne said.Another genealogical database that law enforcement can use is GEDMatch PRO, genetic genealogist Leah Larkin testified.맥스카지노�Those are the only two databases of any significant size that allow searching,맥스카지노� Larkin said.맥스카지노�Ancestry forbids it, 23andMe forbids it, MyHeritage forbids it.맥스카지노�Many of the biggest genealogy sites cater to customers who simply want to know about their ancestry 맥스카지노� and might not want their DNA data to potentially be used by law enforcement.In recent years, after law enforcement used some of the most popular genealogy sites for criminal investigations, many companies changed their terms of service.An expert claims authorities used an unauthorized databaseOthram, the lab company in Texas, stopped its work for the case on Dec. 10, 2022, Taylor said. 맥스카지노�The FBI took over, and we맥스카지노�ve heard that by Dec. 19, nine days later, they맥스카지노�d made an identification,맥스카지노� the attorney said.That timeline is significant 맥스카지노�because Othram맥스카지노�s matches were, as in their own words in their report, those matches were low,맥스카지노� Larkin testified.She noted Othram had recommended testing four brothers 맥스카지노�to get more information.맥스카지노�But 맥스카지노�if you went out and if you approached those men, and even if one of them said, yes, you can test my DNA, the testing itself would have taken some time; getting a kit to a person, getting the spit, sending it into the lab, having it analyzed. And it wouldn맥스카지노�t have led to the crime scene profile because it was the wrong family branch,맥스카지노� Larkin testified.맥스카지노�So going from low matches to an ID or at least a tip, whatever they were calling it, within nine days, that right there told me they had gone into a database they were not supposed to be in.맥스카지노�CNN has reached out to the FBI for a response to the accusation that it used a genealogical database inappropriately. Prosecutors did not directly respond to that claim during the hearing.Larkin said she also saw 맥스카지노�screenshots from GEDMatch맥스카지노� in email communications.Unlike GEDMatch PRO, which is smaller and allows law enforcement searches, 맥스카지노�GEDMatch is just a super open database맥스카지노� and does not allow searches for criminal investigations, Larkin said. GEDMatch has far more users, and 맥스카지노�any kit in the system that is public, you can see their matches.맥스카지노�맥스카지노�So if you are in GEDMatch and I am in GEDMatch and let맥스카지노�s say we were cousins, I could go in and look at my kit and I would see you in my match list, but I could also go into your kit and see me in your match list,맥스카지노� Larkin testified.In GEDMatch PRO, law enforcement might not see those same matches.Eventually, the FBI 맥스카지노�admitted they had uploaded to MyHeritage맥스카지노� 맥스카지노� a database off limits to law enforcement, Larkin said, citing a document shared with the court.What happens nextKohberger맥스카지노�s trial is expected to begin in August and last several months. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty if Kohberger is convicted.In the meantime, the families of victims Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin continue the long wait to learn the suspect맥스카지노�s fate.But Goncalves맥스카지노� family expressed relief that the judge did not suppress the genetic genealogy evidence.맥스카지노�We are thankful to the Court for a timely decision and appreciate the work prosecution has put in thus far,맥스카지노� the family posted on Facebook last week.맥스카지노�In the big picture of life, justice is just moments away.맥스카지노�CNN맥스카지노�s Taylor Romine and Eric Levenson contributed to this report.
