This new DNA technology is fantastic.
Long story short, a guy murdered a woman in 2016 and a discarded cig butt revealed DNA but the DNA didn't match anyone in the national DNA database.
But, the familial test revealed a family DNA match to a guy in prison who's DNA is in the national data base meaning that guy's relative has DNA on the butt.
They arrested the prisoner's brother who lived in the apartment complex where she was murdered.
Interesting stuff.
