This case is an excellent study in investigative genetic genealogy (IGG). Focus on the science and procedure: how IGG narrows a candidate pool from crime-scene DNA, and why it is an investigative lead rather than courtroom proof…

Four University of Idaho students — Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin — were killed in an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, on November 13, 2022. Investigators identified Bryan Kohberger as a suspect in part through investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) developed from DNA on a knife sheath. Kohberger pleaded guilty in July 2025 and was sentenced to four consecutive life terms without parole plus ten years; the plea spared him the death penalty, and authorities said the motive remains unknown. This workspace is a teaching example of forensic genetic genealogy and is for educational analysis only.
