23andMe Helped Catch The Golden State Killer. What's Your DNA?

This piece was written by the Cracked Shop to tell you about products that are being sold there.

Michelle McNamara's relentless pursuit of the EAR/ONS rapist, later dubbed The Golden State Killer, evolved into a best-selling book and, now, an HBO series. The craziest thing about this whole story -- besides the tragic twist that McNamara herself died before she completed the book -- is that a DNA kit from 23andMe went a long way towards identifying the killer. That said, if you're not a murderer, it could be really cool to get your DNA sampled to better understand your heritage and help suss out the mysteries of human relationships. (If you are, just close out now and turn yourself in, you big jerk.)
