But this isn't 38 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: just a story. These are real victims that suffered. You know, 39 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: people say, oh, they'll get closure when the purpose finally arrested. 40 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: There's no such thing. It affects you the rest of 41 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: your life. But just tell me something, Dave Mack. How 42 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: many rape victims are we talking about that we know of? 43 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: And how does this guy elude police? I think the 44 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: key as you said, that we know of because when 45 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: you look at what we're actually charging them with. Between now, 46 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: it's between nineteen ninety two and nineteen ninety four. Two 47 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: of the women were attacked in their homes where he 48 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: was lying in wait, and the third one was apparently 49 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: particularly heinous, where he grabs a twenty two year old 50 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: off a jogging trail, uses a stun gun, and then 51 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: drags her off and attacks her. So we've got different 52 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: mos here in the same guy. The one thing we 53 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: have is the DNA linking him to all three of those. 54 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: But then you mentioned he actually was a guest lecturer 55 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: about law enforcement and ended up spending ten years in 56 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: sacrament minto before he leaves to work in the federal 57 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: penal system. He was hiding in plain sight, you know. 58 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: To Sacramento Police Chief Daniel Hahn again, Welcome Daniel and 59 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: to Attorney Schibert. Daniel, I gotta ask you a question 60 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: toward the last let me just think maybe seven years 61 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: that I prosecuted, I began to specially lies and cereal 62 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: murders and cereal rapes. When you start seeing similarities between 63 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: rapemo modus operandi method of operation, it's just got to 64 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: drive you crazy knowing this may be the same guy. 65 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: What about when the ms are different and you can't 66 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: really link them together. Yeah, well, normally we don't see 67 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: two distinct differences, but this one there was. And this 68 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: one's also unique in that Amory, when she was a 69 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: deputy DA and one of our retired detectives now submitted 70 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: for the first John Doe warrant based on DNA in 71 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: California back then, and this is the one. So they're 72 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: the detective. This was one of his only open cases 73 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: and now it's solved. So there's great work by the 74 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: detectives and Amory. Take a listen to our Fanbecca Haybecker. 75 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: This was one of the three attacks that fifty nine 76 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: year old Mark Mantufflo is accused of committing between nineteen 77 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: ninety two and ninety four. One woman was raped in 78 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: her Sacramento County home. Another woman was attacked on a 79 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: jogging path and Davis, and a third woman was raped 80 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: in her home in Sacramento. All three women survived their attacks. 81 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: I can tell you that the victim in the case 82 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: out of Yolo County has been notified that the man 83 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: who did this to her is in custody. She's very happy. 84 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: At a news conference Monday afternoon, Sacramento area law enforcement 85 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: explained just how they connected three crime scenes from the 86 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: early nineties to this guy who was arrested at his 87 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: home near Atlanta on Friday. We knew these crimes were 88 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: all committed by the same suspect because they were linked 89 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: by DNA left at each of the three crime scenes. 90 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: This is so critical right now, the investigative tool of 91 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: linking DNA with me Sacramento's District Attorney Anne Marie Sheebert, 92 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: District Attorney Shebert, please explain why this is so critical 93 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: that this type of genealogical DNA be allowed across the country. Well, 94 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: there's no question that since the arrest of the Golden 95 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: State Killer, that this new tool and law enforces using 96 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: is really changing the world. I mean, it's it's helping 97 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: us go back decades. I mean we know from the 98 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: Golden State Killer it's gone back forty years. We've seen 99 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: over sixty cases across the country that in just over 100 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: a year where individuals that, as Dave says, they're just 101 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: living right amongst us have been identified. At least three 102 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: cases now have been resolved. That one horrific one was 103 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: the kidnap, rape, and murder of April Tinsley. But you know, 104 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: there's no questions changing the world. It's just it's bringing 105 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: people to justice. It's lifting clouds off of individuals who 106 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: had been suspected for years where were in fact innocence, 107 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: And ultimately it's making our communities safer. And really the 108 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,239 Speaker 1: most important thing is prosecutors and law enforces. It's giving 109 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: hope to victims that they long thought perhaps was had vanished. 110 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: So it's a tremendous tool that we're going to continue 111 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: to use within our power and do everything we can 112 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: to make our community safe. And speaking of April Tinsley, 113 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: that District Attorney Emory Shebert just brought up Listen to 114 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: Kate saw eight year old April Tinsley went missing walking 115 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: to a friend's house.

Thirty years as family has waited for answers, 117 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: Tinsley's killer taunted detectives with a message scrawled on a barn, 118 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: then in two thousand and four, threatening notes found on 119 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: young girl's bicycles. But after all these years, it only 120 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: took weeks to solve the case. Using a new cutting 121 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: edge DNA analysis, Parabon Labs compared the suspects DNA to 122 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: a public database of genealogy information results people get from 123 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: a test like twenty three and me. They found distant 124 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: cousins to build the family tree backward, then looked for 125 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: descendants and narrowed the search to two brothers. It really 126 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: had to be one or the other because they were 127 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: carrying the right mix of DNA. Investigators collected DNA from 128 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: one of the brothers trash and got a match. John 129 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: Miller was arrested Sunday. In just three months, Parabon has 130 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: identified four other killers and is working forty more cases. 131 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: According to April, Tinsley's family allegedly get enclosure as fifty 132 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: nine year old perp sentenced to eighty years behind bars. 133 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: This is thirty years after he rapes and kills an 134 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: eight year old little girl, then taunting cops with condom 135 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: clues their words to him burn in hell, you monster. 136 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: I feel the same way and thank God for this 137 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: new tool.

George, I remember the first 164 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: time I tried a DNA case. I didn't really even 165 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: understand what I was dealing with, but I insisted the 166 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: crime lab bring in blowups of what they could see 167 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: under the microscope so I could explain it to the jury. 168 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: He got up there with all it looked like a 169 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: bad film from an old camera that you just unroll. 170 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: I looked at it, I looked at the jury, and 171 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: I said, why don't you just try to explain it 172 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: to us verbally, because unless you are a scientist and 173 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: you're looking at this, it just it looks like a 174 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: bunch of dots. So explain to me, how do I know. 175 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean, the odds are like one in five trillion 176 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: that this is the guy. I mean, the odds are incredible. 177 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: You're You're dead the water if you get a DNA match. 178 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: Explained to me, what geneological DNA is, a white It's 179 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: so important, Nancy. Geological DNA is a different type of 180 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: DNA than we look at in crime labs and forensic works. 181 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: It's actually looking at physical locations on the chromosomes that 182 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: are that are very close together, so that when these 183 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: are passed down through families, they're linked. So that that's 184 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: why they can go out so far and look at 185 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: these second cousins and third cousins. Then once they get 186 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: that DNA match to a potential relative, they can use 187 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: conventional genealogical methods to backtrack and look at family trees, 188 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: build a family tree to get back to the individual itself. 189 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: Then what can be done is once they find that individual, 190 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: they can take okay, wait a minute, you know what 191 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: I'm drinking out of the fire hisrant right now. It 192 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: is just too much, too fast. I'm trying to compare 193 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: what you're telling me. You know, Paul holds one of 194 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: the detectives on the Golden State killer case. He actually 195 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 1: had to draw a chart for me to understand this, 196 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: George Skuiro, because I thought, you know, foolishly that you 197 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: have DNA from the murder of the rape and then 198 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: through let's just say, one of these genealogical websites where 199 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: people trace themselves back to Ireland, okay, where everybody is 200 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: from Ireland, and I thought it was just that simple. 201 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: It's not. You have to go back generations and generations 202 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: and generations, and you take this grandma, this great grandfather, 203 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: and you take it all the way down multiple generations 204 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: to get a match. Now, can you just explain this 205 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: in a nutshell, Squiro, We're not all scientists like you, Okay, 206 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: I'm just a j D. Break it down. Well, essentially, 207 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: it's looking for links between families and then following those links, 208 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: following those breadcrumbs till you get to that individual you're 209 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: looking for, and then you can take his DNA and 210 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: compare it to the forensic DNA sample and see if 211 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: there's a match, and that's what gives you those huge 212 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: numbers in terms of making an identification. Dirig attorney from 213 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: Sacramento A. Marie Shebert with us DA. Shebert. I don't 214 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: understand why there is opposition to genealogical DNAs. Oh, it's 215 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: just I think there's just you know, some people out 216 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: there that privacy individuals. But I think it's important for 217 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: people to understand is that cops never get their hands 218 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: on people's DNA and these genealogy sites. It's not like 219 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: they're out there, you know, collecting somebody's actual profile. And 220 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: if that's an important message that the public needs to understand, 221 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: is that they're simply giving a given a list. Like 222 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: everybody else that decides to go on to one of 223 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: these sites to find their biological parents or you know, 224 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: adoptees do this, or individuals that were products of perhaps 225 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: firm donors, cops are never given than that actual profile. 226 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: They're simply said, well, you might you might have this relative, 227 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: second cousin twice removed, and that's what they take. So 228 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: they're never doing anything with some of these actual profiles. 229 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: The profile they have is the bad guys who left 230 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: it behind. As the crime seats. So that's what's important 231 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: to remember is that, and it's an incredible tool that 232 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: law enforcement. You know, we expect our law enforcement to 233 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: keep us safe. And what we're doing, what people like 234 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: Chief Han and our sheriff and our law partners are doing, 235 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: is they are doing everything they can within the balands 236 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: of the law to make sure that they are identifying 237 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: and violent criminals. We're not going after people that are 238 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: breaking into cars. We're simply going after individuals who have 239 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: committed horrific, horrific crimes. You know, one of the victims 240 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: that I saw one time on the Golden State Killer said, 241 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, this wasn't a rape that lasted three hours, 242 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: it lasted forty two years. So we have to remember 243 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: that we are balancing privacy versus public safety, and when 244 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: we're talking about when we're talking about violent criminals, we're 245 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: doing using the tools that we have within the bounds 246 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: of the law to bring those people to justice. Joining 247 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: me forensics expert, author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon, 248 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: professor at Jacksonville State University, Joseph Scott Morgan Just Scott, Okay, 249 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: let me wrap my mind around this, because I understand DNA. 250 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: I understand DNA matches, I understand how you get DNA, 251 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: but on these genealogical websites, in my mind, there's not 252 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: really a privacy issue because someone somewhere in your family 253 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: has given a DNA sample, usually through saliva. The Constitution 254 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: protects you from police banging down your door, no offense, 255 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: police Chief Daniel on or forcing you to give a confession, 256 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: all right, But the Constitution does not protect you from 257 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: somebody and your family or a distant relative from handing 258 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: over their DNA to a website. Yes, right, Nancy, that 259 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: that is not the case. You're not protected constitutionally from something, 260 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: for instance, that a familial connection has done. So that's 261 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: that's not off limits at this point. I think that 262 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: echoing what the DA said, I think that there are 263 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: privacy concerns among certain people because they just don't understand. 264 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: And one of the things that needs to happen is 265 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: further education about this, just so that people feel safe, 266 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: because as you stated, it's confusing. It is. It's just 267 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: it's confusing. I teach lightly teach DNA to criminal justice students, 268 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: and still at the end of the day, it's still 269 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: you know, you'll see big question marks over their heads, 270 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, wondering, well, how does all of this work? 271 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: Because the science behind it is highly complex too. Judge 272 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: Ashley Wilcott joining me. Ashley, here's the bottom line. When 273 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: Jesscott Morgan says, trying to explain it to people, the 274 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: defense bar understands full well. They're not idiots, Okay, they 275 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: understand full well what DNA is, how it works, and 276 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: how this works genealogical DNA. So what is the possible complaint? 277 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so proud of District Attorney Amory Schubert 278 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: in Sacramento Police Chief Daniel Han. They've got a violent 279 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: rapist off the street. You don't like geneological DNA, Fine, 280 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: you invite him over to your house for Sunday dinner 281 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: and to spend the night. That'll be a cold day 282 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: in hell when that happens. Nobody wants them in their neighborhood. 283 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: But they don't want Amory Schubert and Daniel Han to 284 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: use geneological DNA. What's the argument, Well, let me start 285 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: first by saying I completely agree that the interest of 286 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: the public far outweighs the right to privacy. If Defense 287 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: wants to argue right to privacy. Now, don't interrupt, because 288 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: I know you're about to scream there's no privacy. But 289 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: I think defense attorneys and zealously representing their client. Whether 290 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: I agree with it or not, there's a constitutional right 291 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: they have to being represented. They are arguing, listen, they 292 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: did have a right to privacy because perhaps he did 293 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: not submit his own DNA, perhaps a different family members 294 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: submitted their DNA and it led to him, and they're 295 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: going to argue. And I don't agree with this argument, 296 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: so don't misunderstand me, listeners, but they are going to 297 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: try to argue even if he chose to do it, 298 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: he was doing it to a company to get the 299 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: results for himself, not for law enforcement to be able 300 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: to access, and that there does exist a right to privacy. 301 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: This is a new area of law. Again, I believe 302 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: they can completely legally be obtained with subpoena like the 303 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: police have done. However, I think a defense attorney's going 304 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: to argue, Listen, new area of law. We want courts 305 00:18:49,560 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: to rule on this because there is a right to privacy. 306 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace, Yeah, you're shocked. People who 307 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: live in this East Sacramento neighborhood where Mark Mantefel lived 308 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: for more than a decade. Couldn't believe he's being charged 309 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: in several violent rape cases between nineteen ninety two and 310 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four. Was not in the neighborhood. Yeah, I 311 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: mean he was a quiet guy, but you know he 312 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: talked to you. Helpful neighbors say Mantefell helped rewire their home. 313 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: He also attended sach State, even lectured there in the 314 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: fall of nineteen ninety three, according to school officials. He 315 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: also worked in the federal prison system as an administrator, 316 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: retiring in Florida back in twenty fourteen. But police say 317 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: he's sexually assaulted three women decades ago. In the first 318 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: two cases, women were raped and tortured with a knife 319 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: in their own home. In the third case, he reportedly 320 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: used a stunt gun and dragged a college student off 321 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: and committed quote monstrous crimes. Our friend Rachel Wolf at 322 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: CBS thirteen, you're here, neighbors to Mark Mantifal, reacting reacting 323 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: to the discovery that he is a brutal rapist. After 324 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: lecturing on criminal justice and working within the system, the 325 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: criminal justice system, he moves clear across the country as 326 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: far away from his crimes as he could get to 327 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,479 Speaker 1: the other side, to the east coast from the west coast. 328 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 1: But DNA manages to track him down. And believe it 329 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: or not, all of you ladies listening, all of you 330 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: men listening who have a wife, a daughter, a sister, 331 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: and of course you had a mother, imagine this guy's 332 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: foot coming through her kitchen window one night. And now 333 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: there are opponents to the use of genealogical DNA with 334 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: me special guests Sacramento Police Chief Daniel Hahn and the 335 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: elected District Attorney of Sacramento and Marie Shubert. I just 336 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: I don't get it. I guess I should know by 337 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: now that a defense attorney is paid and ethically bound 338 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: to do everything they can under the law to get 339 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: the client off. But good grief, this guy, I mean, 340 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: the neighbors thought he was such a nice, quiet guy 341 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: that blended into the neighborhood. I wonder how many rapes 342 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: he committed or other crimes he committed where he potentially 343 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: used a condom or didn't leave DNA to Amrie Schibert, 344 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: what do you say to your opponents? Well, what I 345 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: say to the opponents is that we're striking the right balances. 346 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: You know, our jobs in law enforcement is to protect 347 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: the community, to bring dresses to victims, and to remove 348 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: violent predators from our community. And that's exactly what this is. 349 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: An investigative lead. It's no different than a match off 350 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: the DNA databank from CODIS. It's giving Chief Han or 351 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: our law enforcement partners a lead, which then they go 352 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: out and do their jobs and they identify these individuals. 353 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: And so when somebody wants to say this is you know, 354 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: they don't like it, Well, they don't like it because 355 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: people get caught. And that's the reality. The public overwhelmingly 356 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: supports us. We know that because studies have been done 357 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: since the arrest in the Golden State killer were the 358 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: public ninety percent of the public plus wants us to 359 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: use it for violent crime. To help us solve missing persons, 360 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: help us solve crime, evolving children, help take rapists and 361 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: murders off the street. You know, to you, Ashley Wilcott, judge, 362 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: trial lawyer, and anchor, I compare this if I were 363 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: doing an appellate brief on this to the theory of 364 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: the plain view doctrine. In other words, let's just pretend, 365 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: Ashley Wilcot, that I walk by your giant, luxurious suv 366 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: and I look in and I see less seasons marijuana 367 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: is legal in so many places. Let me just say, 368 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: a line of coke? All right? I see it's right 369 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: there on your dashboard. You've been snorting up again at 370 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: lunchtime in your suv. Ashley. I hate to tell you this, 371 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: so I catch you. It's in plain view. You left 372 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: it there. And then your defense is, I didn't do it. 373 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: My best friend Joe got Morgan dented. That's not gonna work. 374 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: It's in plain view. It doesn't really matter anymore. It's 375 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: your car. Long story short, with genealogical DNA the target. 376 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: This guy Mark Matefeld may say I didn't give my DNA. 377 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: You didn't have the right to do that. Well, somebody 378 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: and your family did, and it's out there for me 379 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: to find in plane view, and you're busted. Tell me 380 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: what's wrong with that argument, Ashley. I don't think there's 381 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: anything wrong with that argument, But I want to add 382 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: something to that. Nancy. Don't forget the judicial system is involved. 383 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: So it's not as if law enforcement went out and said, 384 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: half cocked, we're going to get all of these samples 385 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: of DNA, and we're going to start comparing them. No, 386 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: they had to go through the judicial process, which again 387 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: is in place to safeguard constitutional rights. So a judge 388 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: had to sign a warner, they had to get a 389 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: subpoena that said they could access this, and so that's 390 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: another safeguard to ensure they're not just going out and 391 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: looking and going into homes and pulling information to say, 392 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: we're going to consider whether these hundred residents did this. Instead, 393 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: rather they're using the system in place, just like you're 394 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: saying in plane view, it protects individuals and if you 395 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: want to engage in criminal activity, there's absolutely a right 396 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: for a judicial system to be involved to give the 397 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: right for law enforcement to subpoena or access DNA submitted 398 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: by choice to a company take a listen to our 399 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: friends at Fox forty. In nineteen ninety three, around the 400 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: time of his three allanged rapes, Mantiford was a Sacramento 401 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: State student and a guest lecturer in criminal justice at 402 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,959 Speaker 1: the school. His law enforcement career would span more than 403 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: two decades, working with the Federal Bureau of Prisons in 404 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,719 Speaker 1: Atlanta and Miami. At one point coming under investigation for 405 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: accusations he was trying to plant evidence on an inmate. 406 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: According to court documents, the message should be clear, if 407 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: you committed a violent crime in this community and you 408 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: left your DNA, you can expect that we're going to 409 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: try to solve that crime and bringing to justice. Sacramento 410 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert says it took a 411 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: collaborative effort among sheriffs and police detectives and FBI agents 412 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: to track Mantifold down like the infamous Easterea rapist case, 413 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: using DNA technology to match Mantifol's DNA left a crime 414 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: scenes with that of someone in his family. Treat with me. 415 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: Sacramento Police Chief Daniel Han. Chief Han question, did he 416 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: not leave any fingerprints at the crime saying any of 417 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: his crime scenes because I imagine his prints were taken 418 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: if he was in the system. Yeah, a lot of 419 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: these crimes they didn't leave fingerprints because they covered up 420 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: their faces and also to other things. And I would 421 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: just say this about the DNA first and foremost, Who 422 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't want this guy off the street. Who wants this 423 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: guy still out on the street after horrific crimes that 424 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: he did in people's homes where he was there for hours. 425 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: And then secondly, DNA is such a good piece of 426 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: evidence because it's unique to the suspect, it's illegal. There 427 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: were warrants in various stages of this case. And you 428 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: leave DNA pretty much everywhere you go, so you don't 429 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: have to necessarily fingerprints, because if you wear gloves, you 430 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: don't have fingerprints, but you it's hard not to be 431 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: somewhere for hours and do the kind of crimes he 432 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: did and not leave your DNA all over that house. 433 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: You know, the reason he managed to outsmart everyone clearly 434 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: is because he was in law enforcement. He knew how 435 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: to cover his tracks. He knew every trick in the book. 436 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: To Emory Shebert, the Sacramento District Attorney, DA Shebert, how 437 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: did you get around the statute of limitations on murder? 438 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: There is no statute, but on rape in many jurisdictions 439 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: there is, although that tide is shifting. Yeah, so in 440 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: California back in nineteen the early nineties of statue limitations 441 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: with six years and so, you know, I think it 442 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 1: was probably serendipity, as I call it, when I got 443 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: a phone call from Pete will Over, who's a sack 444 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: ped detective one of the best I've ever seen, called 445 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: me late ninety nine, frustrated because he had a couple 446 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: of very horrific crimes, this one plus another one that 447 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: the guy ended up getting caught in. Coincidentally, at the 448 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: time that he called me, I had read a story 449 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: about another prosecutor in another state doing this idea of 450 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: charging an unknown person but alleging his true his DNA 451 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: as his description, and so I, myself and my colleagues 452 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: did a lot of research on it. In California law 453 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: looked at it, felt very strongly that we could do it, 454 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: and I felt like, well, there's you know, this guy, 455 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: whoever it is, needs to be held accountable, and if 456 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: we don't do this, he's going to get away with it. 457 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: So we did it on this case. We did it 458 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: on another case. The other case the guy got ended 459 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: up getting caught. This is a guy named Paul Robinson, 460 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: tried it, went all the way to cal Supreme Court 461 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: and it was upheld and that guy was sitting in 462 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,479 Speaker 1: prison for about sixty five years now. So it was 463 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: something that we felt strongly that you know, these are 464 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: horrific crimes this particular case plus the other case, and 465 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: we felt like we wanted to do everything within our 466 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: legal toolbag to comply with that Saxon limitations. Even though 467 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: we didn't have a name, we could ultimately put a 468 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: face to that profile, that DNA profile, and that's what 469 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: we did. And in this case, it weren't take a 470 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: listen to our friends at Sea thirteen. The FBI tracked 471 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: him down at his home Indicator, Georgia, using the same 472 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: technology called genetic genealogy that led to an arrest in 473 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: the East Area rapist case last year. Without our ability 474 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: to use DNA and genetic genealogy, we would not have 475 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: this predator in custody right now, and maybe never would. 476 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: The Sacramento County District Attorney says, catching a predator like 477 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: Mark Mantefeld is about passion, patience, and persistance. You know, 478 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: I am proud to say we have put a face 479 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: to that DNA profile, and today, quarter of a century later, 480 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: a silent witness has spoken. The DA praised the ingenuity 481 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: and teamwork of detectives who had the foresight to keep 482 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: DNA test kits longer than the law allowed at the time. 483 00:28:53,920 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace serial rapist is bust thanks 484 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: to cutting edge technology, the same type that helped identify 485 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: the suspected East Area rapists last year. Today, law enforcement 486 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: announce the arrest of a former Sacramento man who had 487 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: worked in federal prisons and lectured at Sacramento State. Cbsoteens 488 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: Rachel Wolf tells us more about who he is and 489 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: how it took decades for authorities that track him down. Rachel, 490 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: the authorities here tell us that Mark Manifold lived in 491 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: this area, he went to sax State, even lectured there briefly, 492 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: as you said, But he is actually being accused of 493 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: sexually assaulting several women connected through DNA technology that didn't 494 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: even exist when those crimes were committed. Janetic genealogy has 495 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: led to dozens of arrest nationwide, including suspected Golden State 496 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: killer Joseph DeAngelo. By putting crime scene DNA profiles in 497 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: a public database like Jetmatch, authorities can identify relatives of 498 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: a suspect. The genealogists build family trees to find the 499 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: actual suspect. That's what pointed detectives in Washington State to 500 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: William Talbot. He was just found guilty of murdering a 501 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: couple in nineteen eighty seven, the first conviction by jury 502 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: tied to Janeta genealogy. This truly is a revolution in 503 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: crime fighting, and genetic genealogy is not going away now. 504 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: But it also raises privacy questions because information from innocent 505 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: people is being used without their knowledge. Last month, jed 506 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: match changed its policies so law enforcement can only search 507 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: users who give their consent. You are hearing our friends 508 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: at CBS thirteen Rachel Wolf and NBCNS Joe Friar the 509 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: debate over privacy raging. Can't agree at all with the 510 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: opponents of genealogical DNA to Sacramento District Attorney and Marie Sibert, 511 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: who is it that is opposing your use of genealogical 512 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: DNA to put violent criminals behind bars? Oh, I think 513 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: it's you know, there are individuals that are privacy advocates 514 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: that feel like law enforcement shouldn't be able to use 515 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: this tool. I mean, it's it's probably somewhat of an 516 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: anti law enforcement effort. But you know, the most important 517 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: I want to keep in mind for the listeners is 518 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: that we in Sacramento and those of us in California 519 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: have taken a very proactive effort and since the arrest 520 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: of the Golden Sekuler to get out there to educate 521 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: law enforcement and the public, but law enforcement on how 522 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: to not only do this, but to balance that privacy interest, 523 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: which you know we reckon. There is a privacy interest, 524 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,239 Speaker 1: but as a judge said, you know, public safety far 525 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: outweighs it. But we're out there. We're not, like I 526 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: said earlier, we're not going to use this tool on 527 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: low level, non violent crimes. We're using this in a 528 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: manner that is identifying individuals for violent crimes, and we're 529 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: establishing a best practice model in California that we're pushing 530 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: not just across this country, but across this world because 531 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: we want to maintain this tool. We don't want somebody 532 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: to ban on it because they don't understand it, which 533 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: it is complex, but the most important thing to understand 534 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: is that we are proactively educating our law enforcement partners 535 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: on one how the tool works, but to make sure 536 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: that we are doing it in the appropriate cases. Can 537 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 1: I ask an answer, Listen, here's my question for all 538 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: of those individuals whose DNA is being run without their knowledge, 539 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: as they claim the right to privacy people claim, what's 540 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: the harm to them if they haven't committed the atrocious, 541 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: horrific crime that's being investigated, What is the harm. I 542 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: don't see that there's a harm to this process, dude. 543 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan, forensics expert and author of Blood Beneath 544 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 1: My Feet on Amazon. Joe Scott actually really brings up 545 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: a good point because if I have a distant relative 546 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: that commits a rape and murder, and somehow my DNA 547 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: is examined to finally reach the identity of that distant cousin, 548 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: I don't know about it. It doesn't affect my life. 549 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm happy they did. I have no problem with it. 550 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: The only person that has a problem with it is 551 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: the perpetrator. Joe Scott Morgan. Yeah, And I think that 552 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: the people that are going to be looking at privacy here, 553 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: they have a fear that, you know, in the long run, 554 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: what are the gatekeepers over these databases going to do 555 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: and handle the sensitive information. But I got to bring 556 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: this back all the way back to one point, Nancy. 557 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: The important thing here to remember is that all those 558 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: decades ago, we had law enforcement people that were on 559 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: the ground, that were doing their job that means that 560 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: they were able to collect DNA evidence. At that point 561 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: in time, they didn't know how far reaching DNA was 562 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: going to be. They were able to collect this physical 563 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: evidence they did. They went out and did their job 564 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: and did a good job at the scene. Remember, what 565 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: we're dealing with here is very very fragile biological evidence, 566 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: and all these years later, all these years later, it 567 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: would still remain in tact so that they could put 568 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: this guy behind bars. Two especial guest George s Giro, 569 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: DNA expert at Skills Biological Lab. George explained to me, 570 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: are these geneological websites, you know, like ancestry dot com 571 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: and all of that. How does for instance, ancestry dot 572 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: com get your DNA? Explain how it works well? And 573 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: NAS people doing geneological REA search will have their DNA 574 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: tested using certain kits and they'll take those they'll put 575 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: them into ancestry dot com and they'll look for relatives 576 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,919 Speaker 1: to see if anyone, you know, if they can find 577 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: a distanct cousin or do family trees and that sort 578 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: of thing. Then there's also a public database called jetmatch. 579 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: And this is the number one thing I think that 580 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: I would encourage your listeners to do if they are 581 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: in jeedmatch. Jetmatch recently change their terms of service in 582 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: that they're automatically opting out everyone from law enforcement searches 583 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: of the database. What if if any of your listeners 584 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 1: are members of jet match, they need to make sure 585 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: if they're interested in continue to solve these crimes as 586 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: jet matches done, they need to opt in so that 587 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: law enforcement can search those profiles. And that I think 588 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: is the number one take home message that I would 589 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: have for your listeners as if you're a member of 590 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: jet match, to go ahead and opt in, because that's 591 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: going to give us a broader area to search and 592 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: to be able to find these potential killers and rapists 593 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: and get them off. Put it in a nutshell, George Cairo. 594 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: Don't people just spit into a container repeatedly and that's 595 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: how they give their DNA essentially even that or sometimes 596 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: it's by a swab, But yes, they'll just spit in, 597 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: send it in, get the results, and then, like I said, 598 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: they can, once they get those results from ancestry dot 599 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: com twenty three and me, they can then upload those 600 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: to the public database and jedmatch in order to get 601 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: their DNA profiles out there to see if they can 602 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: find any relatives, potential biological parents and those sort of things. 603 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: To Sacramento Police Chief Daniel Han, Chief Han, what did 604 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: it feel like. Do you remember the moment that you 605 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: discovered there had been a positive match and you, somehow, 606 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: after all these years, caught the rapist. Yeah. We've had 607 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: several of those over the last year and a half. 608 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: So it's a really good day when you hear your 609 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: guys go, okay, we have some leads and we're working 610 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: on them to confirmed them. So yeah, there's been a 611 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: lot and a lot of times we can do it 612 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 1: through the criminal database. But like these guys, the Golden 613 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: State killer, nor Cal rapist, and this guy, they hadn't 614 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: been arrested in half a lengthy criminal history through the court, 615 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: so they were literally hiding in plain sight, and I 616 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: don't know how we would catch him other than this. 617 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: You know, I'm thinking a lot right now about a 618 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: little girl, April Tinsley, an eight year old little girl kidnapped, 619 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,959 Speaker 1: brutally raped, murdered, her body thrown in a ditch through 620 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: genealogical DNA. Her killer an Indiana man, John D. Miller, 621 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: when he got in court, he stood up. All he 622 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: was so shaky. All they could do is say his 623 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 1: name to a pact court room, and his voice shook. 624 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: He was afraid of the law, he was afraid of justice. 625 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,479 Speaker 1: But when he had that eight year old little girl, 626 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 1: he wasn't afraid. He killed her. Genealogical DNA may be 627 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: the only solution to put people like April Tinsley's killer 628 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:19,280 Speaker 1: behind bars, demons like Mark Mantafell behind bars. To all 629 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: of our guests, but especially Sacramento da Amory Shubert, Sacramento 630 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: Police Chief Daniel Hahn, thank you for being with us 631 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: and please continue to fight the good fight. Nancy Grace 632 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 1: Crime Story signing off, goodbye friend. To find out more 633 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 1: about investigative genetic genealogy, good I'm in for justice dorg
