The articles say that they matched DNA from his cigarette butt to the DNA profile from the rape investigation.

I didn't see anything about matching Ancestry or 23 and me databases....did I miss something?...

It may have been in one of the two links I shared or maybe in the Knock Knock podcast I listened to. But they got the lead to him through a private company in Virginia that does the testing for these online services then made the match through the cigarette butt.

Apparently they were turned on to him by Parabon NanoLabs, a company that allows LEO to upload DNA profiles against a database they maintain. Parabon provided the leads that ultimately led to the cigarette butt for for an exact match.

The investigators will use these sites to figure out it's you based on family dna. Then they follow you around and wait for you to leave dna in a public spot. They test it, confirm it's you for sure, then grab you.
