Yeah they have used services like 23 and me to catch a couple old serial killers. The California murder rings a bell apparently one of his cousins or something did one of these and they were able to use his dna test to find the killer. While this is awesome they caught the guy it’s just weird that they are logging everyone to build a data base
You're wrong. They used an open source DNA database called GED (I think). People loading their DNA into it know ahead of time it is open source and can be used by anyone. The entire premise of this thread is wrong.
ETA:
NewOrleansBlend beat me to it.
Not quite. His relative uploaded their dna profile to gedmatch.com which is designed to make the dna profile available to anyone (goal is to find new family members). 23 and me doesn’t do that
