You may not be who they're looking for. If a close relative committed the crime, even before you were born, your DNA helps to narrow down the search.

It's not all about you.

I'm 79. Any close relative born before me is dead...

And if a close relative born after me murdered or raped somebody, I hope my DNA helps brings them to justice!

It's not an if. They plan to profile families and do targeted denials.

What if you father children with out your knowledge?

I know women who got together to father their boss kids. Imagine 1/2 bothers or sister or cousins dating?
