"Using Genetic genealogy has been successful in other cases, such as the University of Idaho killings, where Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to life for the quadruple murder."
Savannah Guthrie may never return to the Today Show as she continues to grapple with her mother's disappearance, insiders say.
The 54-year-old has been off air since Nancy Guthrie's disappearance on February 1 and insiders told Status News that they believe the move will be made permanent.
'There’s no way Savannah’s coming back,' an executive told the outlet. 'I can’t imagine she would even want to.'
This follows news that genetic genealogy will be used to trace any DNA inside Nancy's home - with one expert confidently stating that 'he will be identified' with the new technology and that the suspect ought to be concerned 'right now.'
Guthrie has not publicly commented on her future as an anchor, a position she held since 2012.
As insiders at the outlet prepare for her potential retirement, they stress over who to replace her with, as she's become the face of morning news.
'If you could pick one person across the span of morning TV that a show would not want to lose, it would be Savannah,' a different executive told Status News.
'Savannah was always the glue on that show, and without that, this whole paradigm of our morning anchor team as a family, that connective tissue has just been ripped out.' . . .More
Genetic Genealogy | Sequencing "Genetic genealogy is a field of genealogy and family history research1 that combines genealogical DNA tests and traditional genealogy methods to discover how individuals are related.
"When genetic testing first became commercially available, it was an incredibly expensive endeavor that was simply out of reach for most people. Thankfully, genetic testing has become far more affordable in recent years — in fact, you can have your entire genome sequenced for just a few hundred dollars nowadays. As a result, genealogical research has evolved to take genetic testing results in mind, which has allowed genealogy to become much more specialized and accurate.
"Practically anyone could discover a treasure trove of useful and interesting genealogic information thanks to DNA testing; however, certain people could find it especially interesting and helpful. Those who have lost contact with their biological families, such as adoptees, can use these tests to discover their birth parentage and answer questions regarding their ethnicity and biological origins. DNA testing can also be used to establish paternity in doubtful cases.
"Genetic findings are also immensely helpful in the field of medical research. Molecular genealogy, in particular, seeks to understand the patterns of inheritance that have shaped evolution for thousands of years, modifying the ways different organisms function according to changes in their DNA.2
"Genetic genealogy can also be used in criminology and law enforcement — it has even helped solve cold cases in this field. DNA samples from crime scenes can be uploaded to genetic databases to identify relatives of unknown suspects, which narrows down the search.3 After this is done, traditional genealogy methods can be used to build family trees from the matches until the most likely suspect is identified. In some cases, all it takes is for one distant relative of the suspect to upload their genetic results to genealogy sites for a case to be solved after decades of silence." . . .
