Familial DNA

This new DNA technology is fantastic.

Long story short, a guy murdered a woman in 2016 and a discarded cig butt revealed DNA but the DNA didn't match anyone in the national DNA database.

But, the familial test revealed a family DNA match to a guy in prison who's DNA is in the national data base meaning that guy's relative has DNA on the butt.

They arrested the prisoner's brother who lived in the apartment complex where she was murdered.

Interesting stuff.

A discarded cigarette butt helped police charge a Texas man in a Mother's Day 2016 murder of a 50-year-old woman, authorities said Wednesday.
Byron Lloyd Collins, 29, was picked up by authorities last week at the same Baytown complex where Natalia Shal was found dead with stab wounds last year, according to the Beaumont Enterprise.
Collins has been charged with capital murder and is also accused of trying to sexually assault Shal before the stabbing, KTRK-TV reported, citing court documents.
Shal’s husband, David Englerth, had been out of town at the time of the murder, according to the station. He had been unable to contact her so he called police and asked them to check on her.
The station reported that police saw Shal’s body through her apartment window upon arriving.
DNA from the crime scene did not initially match anything from police databases. But in early 2017, investigators learned about using familial DNA testing to help identify suspects not already in the system.
In June, they got a hit, matching the DNA to Collins' brother in prison.
Surveilling Collins, police matched his discarded cigarette to the crime scene on Dec. 18.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

This is how they caught that LA rapist from the 80's. He was clean but his son eventually got busted for something and they got him.
