Commercial genealogy resulted in the capture of a person alleged to be the Golden State Killer when police used results from a genealogy company to match up to genetic material from the killer. At this point in time it's not clear which company assisted police, but once again it shows what you think might be private, really isn't. However, if you read the disclaimer from many of these companies it does mention that results can be shared with the police if they receive a warrant. Maybe you should keep your DNA to yourself and while you're at it consider not sharing every little bit of your personal information with social media. Big brother is watching.
Details about exactly what happened in the Golden State Killer investigation remain murky, but here’s what’s known: Investigators took DNA collected years ago from one of the crime scenes and submitted it in some form to one or more websites that have built up a vast database of consumer genetic information.
