    If I remember right didn’t the Golden state killer get caught by a distant relative taking a DNA test?

      No the only way for the evidence to match up was the DNA so they asked a relative to take a DNA test to see if it was him for sure and that was what confirmed it.

        Really? I thought that the relative had already taken a DNA test and published the results on GEDmatch.

            Huh, interesting. There’s no mention of that in the Wikipedia summary. How closely related was this relative? Do you have a source I could take a look at?
