Idaho killings

According to this sounds like a family members DNA is what eventually led to him getting caught:

Authorities identified the suspect with the help of genetic genealogy, source says​

From CNN’s Jean Casarez

The suspect in the murders of four University of Idaho students was identified with the help of genetic genealogy, a source with knowledge of the case tells CNN.

Unknown DNA found in Idaho during the course of the investigation was taken through a DNA public database to find potential matches for family members, the source said. Once potential family matches were found, subsequent investigative work by law enforcement led to the identification of suspect Bryan Kohberger, according to the source.
Fascinating.

Are you talking about the post were the person claimed it was two people, gave details and had nicknames for the victims? If not, what did he post?
Not sure about that. As soon as the arrest was announced the internet and twitter went into a flurry, there were 2 main ones floating around, a short one that gave crime scene details that involved a ceiling fan, but people were saying the house didnt have ceiling fans, and a long one that was cut off at the top, that basically called all the victims drunks, and other oddly specific crap talking about the various victims. I have a link to the 2nd one but frankly its been scrubbed from twitter and its in no way family friendly.

The ethics get very interesting on this topic. Personally, I have no plans to commit murder but I also will never do one of those tests.

I used to think that way too but it doesn’t matter if you don’t take the test if someone in your family already has. They’ll find you through them.

It does seem weird that these DNA results are public information…

They aren’t public, but these companies happily share them with law enforcement. And, most likely, anyone else that’s willing to pay for the data.
 
Did he drive through Iowa on I-80?
That part of PA is right off of I-80 but it’s probably when did he cut south off of 94 or something. May have gone through Twin Cities and then south. Either way he probably had to stop over for the night at least once. Weather may have been a factor too.

The shortest/fastest way from the Moscow/Pullman area is to take I-90 over to Chicago.

You can be required to disclose medical information you have from genetic testing for certain types of insurance according to this (link). I did 23 and me and you have to pay significantly more for the health information, which I didn't, so I don't think there is anything they can do with that. But if I decide to go on a murder spree I'm screwed.
