You guys did a lot of wild speculation on the Golden State killer investigation. Obviously more details are still coming out, but they used the open GEDmatch website, not the major companies of 23andMe or Ancestry. GEDmatch allows you to upload any raw genomic data, so there was no fraud involved. Jason could download his raw DNA from 23andMe and upload it to this site. GEDmatch has responded to many users concerns and I included their responses below.

April 28, 2018 We now have facility to allow users to delete their registration/profile and associated DNA and GEDCOM resources. If you are interested in how to use this facility Click here to find more information. April 27, 2018 To correct a BIG misunderstanding, we do not show any person's DNA on GEDmatch. We only show manipulations of data such as DNA matches April 27, 2018 We understand that the GEDmatch database was used to help identify the Golden State Killer. Although we were not approached by law enforcement or anyone else about this case or about the DNA, it has always been GEDmatch’s policy to inform users that the database could be used for other uses, as set forth in the Site Policy ( linked to the login page and <a href="https://www.gedmatch.com/policy.php" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.gedmatch.com/policy.php</a> ). While the database was created for genealogical research, it is important that GEDmatch participants understand the possible uses of their DNA, including identification of relatives that have committed crimes or were victims of crimes. If you are concerned about non-genealogical uses of your DNA, you should not upload your DNA to the database and/or you should remove DNA that has already been uploaded.

Obviously it was a breaking story when we dealt with it, but we'll be doing some follow up on the next show. Thanks for all the info!
