Kohberger Case; Why DNA IGG Is NOT Junk Science

Kohberger Case; Why DNA IGG Is NOT Junk Science

FBI Unscripted | Real Agents On Real Crime · 2025-01-31

Could the defense's strategy to target groundbreaking DNA techniques unravel one of the most compelling cases in recent memory?

In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins the conversation to unpack the defense's aggressive stance against the use of investigative genetic genealogy (IgG) in the Bryan Kohberger case. As the accused in the tragic murders of four University of Idaho students, Kohberger’s trial hinges on critical evidence like touch DNA found on a knife sheath near the crime scene. The defense argues constitutional violations and the reliability of IgG, despite its proven success in countless cases. With a new judge presiding and a change of venue shaking things up, will the defense's claims gain traction, or are they just throwing legal spaghetti at the wall? The science seems airtight, but the debate over how evidence is gathered is far from over.

What does this legal chess match mean for the future of investigative technology?
