DNA on a cigarette butt leads to man's arrest for the 1994 murder of 26-year-old mom.

Through the new investigative technique of genetic genealogy — and DNA left behind on a discarded cigarette butt — police have arrested a suspect in the 1994 murder of a 26-year-old mom.

Hoellein's father"thought he was going to go to his grave without any resolution as to what happened to his daughter," Vancouver police officer Dustin Goudschaal said at a news conference on Tuesday. Through the new investigative technique of genetic genealogy, officials can take the DNA left behind at a crime scene and identify a suspect by tracing the family tree through his or her family members, who voluntarily submitted their DNA to public genealogy databases.

These headlines always make it sound like chance, it's not. They bring the primary suspect in for questioning and give them cigarettes and drinks, then test the saliva. It's not luck, they already suspected the person, and DNA doesn't always hold up in court

Thank goodness for technology and that this family can finally have closure with answers. The rest of the scumbags hiding under rocks better beware..... DNA’s coming for you too!!!
