An ex-police office was finally arrested after 40 years of evading the police. Southern California had experienced more than 50 rapes and 12 murders before finally DNA came to the rescue and caught the man who had terrorized California for years. Thanks to a smart forensic coroner who decided to make duplicate rape kits on one of the earlier crimes and had kept it in a frozen locker for all these many years. With the advent of DNA it was decided to test the DNA and then a genetic genealogist uploaded the results to the DNA website GEDMATCH.com which enables many people to upload their raw data and find relatives. This was the beginning of finding the perpetrator. So do you still wonder about DNA?
