Just realized that in the case of an unsolved murder with unknown DNA evidence, you could not only: 1. Determine race, but also 2. Use relative info on 23&me and cross reference with genealogy to narrow down suspects to a handful

Had any of you thought of #2 before? It seems fairly obvious to someone actually working on trying to identify unknown DNA, but it's not something I'd specifically heard of or thought about much before.

The funny thing is that the above tweets were actually inspired by a mention of using DNA to identify a suspect (the story in the news today), but I had no idea at the time that they had used relative data.

In fact, the first reports that they used this kind of data came out 8 hours ago, but my tweet was almost 24 hours ago. I totally anticipated this news.
