As usual with these types of events, a lot of "speculation", but at least one "media" person mentioned that the MOST often used source of ancestral DNA is U.S. military records...meaning that IF the suspect's father or mother was an active military member at one time, that could provide the source/record.
Also interesting (but only mentioned once on another network) was one mention that the suspect had worked at one time as a PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL security guard. Certainly could be, after all, NO criminal record, universally spoken of as a very good student, a person who obviously presented as calm, unemotional, a Bachelor's and Master's in criminology.... seems a perfect "hire" of a school offering part time security work ! Drip, drip, drip....in the weeks to come we can expect an never ending stream of revelations on this guy, it's already started. Class mates have described him as "intelligent but socially awkward", not a totally unusual circumstance, a profile millions must fit, but there will be much more to come..... drip, drip, drip....
