Othram Worked on DNA that Led to Kohberger in University of Idaho Murders
Following the brutal 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students, investigators utilized advanced forensic genetic genealogy to identify a suspect when traditional methods failed. A private laboratory named Othram generated a high-resolution genetic profile from a knife sheath found at the crime scene, which eventually led police to Bryan Kohberger. This breakthrough was achieved by analyzing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), allowing scientists to construct a family tree that narrowed the search to a specific lineage. The episode details how this cutting-edge DNA sequencing…
