Investigators reveal the complete power of the Kohberger’s DNA: “strange”

First on Fox: Denver – Genetic genealogists working on the affairs of the students of the Universities of Idaho, have discovered “hundreds of times” more DNA than a typical business when they raced to solve a four -fold knife that rocked the city of Moscow, Idaho, as well as in general.

“It was a catastrophic deal,” said David Mittelman, founder and CEO of OTHRAM, whose work created the leading ones who helped the authorities track Kohberger from the DNA sample Ka-bar knife shell thrown at the crime scene. “That’s why the defense didn’t want to talk about it.”

Police not only resumed a lot of DNA for work, but also allowed the investigators to hone Kohberger on the genealogical tree almost immediately.

Speaking with the Fox News digital company at the 2025 Crimon Conference in Denver, Mittelman said, while their early presenters did not include his personality, DNA showed that the sample comes from a “multi -generation” American family mixed with Italian origin.

Genetic genealogy pointed to a multi -generation family of Pennsylvania, which intersecting with the Italian heritage only twice.

It was more than a “trail” of DNA.

“DNA’s evidence was strange,” said David Mittlman. “By the way, there were tons of DNA … I do not know why it was reported that DNA was traced. It wasn’t. It was a tone of DNA.”

Not only was he from high caliber, he added.

“As a DNA, there was a certainty, there was a certainty in the analysis, and it was certain that there was more than enough information in this (family) tree to get to the person,” he said.

Separately, police identified the suspect vehicle – a White Hyundai Elantra Just as Kohberger was driving. He was from Pennsylvania, but studied at the Washington State University in Pulman, Washington, during the killings. It’s just 10 miles from the crime scene.

It is unclear how long it will take.

Despite the fact that the police resumed a wide sample from the snap on the shell, the Kohberger DNA was not in the joint system of the DNA index known as Codis because it was not involved in previous crimes.

Investigative genealogical genealogy helped investigators find it with a sample. And this turned out to be a key part of their case. Jeff – thisThe head of the criminal department in the Prosecutor General’s Office of Idaho, who was instructed to argue in court against Kohberger’s attempt to throw out the evidence, said Fox News last month that “all that depended” at his speech in court on this day.

He won. Once the Kohberger’s defense was unable to abandon DNA’s evidence, he introduced a surprise The guilty is admitted In early July, to avoid potential death penalty.
