Bryan Kohberger, who is charged with murdering four University of Idaho students, wasn't identified from a direct hit in a DNA database, an expert told Fox News Digital.

Investigators then used genetic genealogy — a cutting-edge DNA analysis tool that involves uploading an unknown suspect's profile to two databases that work with law enforcement and looking for a match to common ancestors.

"Typically, you're going to be building trees for dozens or two dozen of these matches, trying to see how they all connect," she said."Are there patterns? Are there any intersections between these family trees?" There are five DNA databases but only two companies, GEDmatch and FamilyTreeDNA, cooperate with law enforcement. They have about 2 million people in their databases while 23and Me and Ancestry have more than 40 million.

"If your family moved here in the last 100 years or so, or even the last 150 years, there’s just going be less representation in the databases," she said."So, unless they got really lucky and got a close match, which I doubt, they probably were working day and night on this."
