Police were reportedly able to link the Idaho killings suspect to the crime scene with DNA. They ran DNA through genealogy databases and got a hit, anonymous law enforcement sources told ABC News. CNN reported that police then tracked the suspect back to Pennsylvania, where he was arrested. Experts previously told Insider that those who send their DNA to genealogy companies should do so with caution if they want to protect their genetic privacy. Joseph Giacalone, who used to helm the Bronx's cold case unit, told Insider last month.

Mixed messaging and unclear answers from police would have given whoever fatally stabbed four students in the Idaho college town of Moscow more time to flee, law enforcement experts say. It was two days after the slayings when the department said in a news release that it was "working closely" with the Idaho State Police and other state and federal agencies. The last homicide involving the University of Idaho was in 2011, when a professor fatally shot a graduate student he had been dating before taking his own life. "They have access to the Idaho State Police, which runs a branch of the crime lab in Coeur d'Alene, not far from Moscow," he said. "We know you want answers," Idaho State Police Director Kedrick Wills said at Sunday's news conference.

Primarul din Petrosino, Italia, Gaspare Giacalone, s-a dus să aibă grijă de oile unui cioban, care s-a infectat cu noul coronavirus și nu avea cu cine să își lase turma. Edilul Gaspare Giacalone a povestit pe pagina sa de Facebook toată întâmplarea:“În această dimineață, mă găsiți printre oi, miei și capre, pentru că Antonio, păstorul, m-a chemat disperat pentru ele. El a rămas acasă, în timp ce eu încerc să îi ofer o mână de ajutor pentru a găsi o soluție și puțin confort prin intermediului telefonului. Antonio își iubește munca, e toată viața lui și cu un nod în gât îmi repetă că aceste creaturi nu pot fi abandonate. Astăzi mă simt mai puțin primar”, a scris Gaspare Giacalone, potrivit libertatea.ro.
