My dad was all about this for a while, including convincing my siblings and a few of his siblings to get the report.
I guess that means I'm somehow linked in to this if I ever happen to leave my DNA laying around in the wrong place.
He's awfully quiet about it now though.

Yeah, I would advice against becoming a serial killer for starters.
Of the 4 suspects they list, 2 "supposedly" confessed a murder to someone (which they didn't do)
Confessions by proxy according to the article and cleared by DNA. I don't see the relevance?
No relevance, sorry. It was interesting. Just goes to show the truthfulness of some testimonies.
