Genetics

We got five scaleless anaries on a visual to het pairing, which is awesome.

And then this scaleless leucistic that is still here technically because of The genetics here, it can also be visual anery.

It's either visual anery or posset anery.

Because it's leucistic and it wipes all the other colors, we actually don't know, which is very interesting.

I think it's both.

I think it's Stillwater and Hannum.

I mean, it's tough to prove it just because of how the genetics work out.

Well, I was going

Today we're going to talk about genetics.

Do they matter? Are they overhyped? Are they overrated? Are they underrated? If you like the video, like and subscribe to the channel.

Genetics play a big part.

in strength training.

They really do.

There's this guy in the Strength Co. YouTube channel that will talk about how you can get stronger regardless of what age you are.

But what does what God gave you play into that? So let's talk about it.

Genetics actually matter a lot here's the thing you cannot change them oh duh we often show on the front of the practical programming book a stress recovery adaptation chart that is very useful and it shows strength adaptation over time as well as training complexity and the point of the chart is mostly to show people that when you are a novice which means you have not done a novice linear progression or a progressive overload before you get strong very fast novice doesn't mean that you're weak novice doesn't mean that you've never worked out before novice means that you've never taken the big barbell lifts gone into the gym and made small incremental increases each time.

An object at rest stays at rest

Exactly An unsolved case from forty years ago is a statistical liability It takes resources away from active solvable Modern crimes Oh why do it The catalyst for reopening a case like this almost always comes down to a human element colliding with new funding Ah Funding It always comes down to money Often it's a federal cold Case grant being awarded to the county allowing them to finally hire a dedicated detective who only looks at old files Does that make sense Or maybe a new sheriff is elected who makes a big political promise to clear the backlog Alternatively and this happens a lot The lab in Texas might have run an audit of their unidentified remains Oh Like they reached out to Oregon Yeah they might proactively reach out to Oregon saying Hey our technology has crossed a new threshold Send us your worst most degraded samples We can actually read them now But the text specifically mentions them collecting new DNA evidence Right What New evidence They already had the Skull locked in a vault in Texas Qhat are they collecting four decades later A That phrase is doing a lot of subtle work in the AP report It likely refers to two distinct scientific processes Okay What's the first One First they needed a modern reference sample Whatever biological material they might have collected from Theresa's family in Nineteen eighty three or Nineteen ninety seven it was likely gone Degraded or fundamentally incompatible with Twenty twenty four Testing parameters So they needed new Family DNA Yes investigators would have had To locate surviving family members s- siblings perhaps Who are now senior citizens themselves and ask For fresh cheek swabs That has to be an unimaginable emotional shock for the family It really Is I mean you've spent Forty one Years trying to Make peace With the unknown and suddenly a Detective is At your door asking for Your saliva to Match against a Skull found Decades Ago It Completely shatters whatever fragile Closure they Might Have built over those decades You're Reopening the wound completely Okay so that's the family swab Wwhat's the Second part Tthe second Part Of that new Dna Evidence Equation is what Happens In the Lab itself The modern Forensic testing mentioned In the Report is Almost Certainly a Reference to next Generation Sequencing or NGS Next generation sequencing How does that Solve the-- the Shattered Puzzle piece Problem From Nineteen ninety seven Ngs is Just a Technological marvel Remember how The nineties testing Needed Long intact strands yeah The PCR stuff Rght nNext generation sequencing Doesn't need that It is Designed to Read massively parallel Ultrashort fragments of dna Sso it doesn't Care If it's broken Up Exactly iit Can take Those degraded Microscopic shards of Genetic Material Locked inside the Bone matrix Sequence millions of Them simultaneously and use immense computational Power to overlap Them and rebuild the genetic profile Wow I It essentially digitizes the bone Dust and lets an algorithm solve the puzzle That IS wild So science Finally provides the locks Key Science finally caught UP Aaand the Moment that match Is confirmed tThe entire Legal landscape OF THE CASE instantly transforms RIGHT Because a missing Person file THAT'S speculative Very Speculative BUt a legally identified SKULL WITH FORENSIC EVIDENCE OF HOW IT ENDED UP IN THE WOODS THat transitions the Case INTO A definitive homicide INVESTIGATION YES It crosses a legal Threshold Teresa didn't start a NEW LIFE She DIED THERE AND BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL POLICE REPORTS FROM Nineteen eighty THREE DOCUMENT EXACTLY WHO SHE WALKED INTO THOSE woods wITH LAW ENFORCEMENT FINALLY HAS THE FOUNDATION THEY NEED Exactly The corpus delicti requirement is finally satisfied Yeaah They HAVE THE BODY AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF ITS DISCOVERY IMPLY FOUL PLAY ThE LEGAL DOMINOES THAT HAD BEEN FROZEN IN PLACE SINCE Nineteen eighty three ARE SUDDENLY CLEARED TO MOVE Which leads Us to thE RAPID ESCALATION IN TWenty twnty five Things move very fast Here THe Ap REPORT STATES THAT LAST YEAR

YEARRelative to the 2026 publication date, Marcus San Fratello is taken into custody.

But he's no longer in rural Oregon.

Which, yeah, I'm not sure what...

I know what's supposed to hatch, but I don't know exactly what genetics were at play.

So we're going to find out.

I'll talk all about it as we get into it.

Exactly Anyone could go through it including the police

So the investigators swoop in retrieve the discarded item and immediately transport it to the forensic lab And Then the technicians extract the fresh DNA from the trash and run a standard STR barcode profile They don't need the hundreds of thousands of markers anymore No They just need the twenty markers to compare against the Two Thousand Twelve Crime Scene sample And the comparison is instantaneous It Is Chief Jones stood at the podium in July and confirmed the result "The DNA extracted from Mayor Velasquez's discarded trash in May Twenty Twenty six perfectly matched the blood left amidst the carnage of the One Hundred stab wounds in Twenty Twelve" The Biological chain was completely unbroken The Fourteen year stalemate shatters in a fraction of a second Just like That But police know that biology only places a suspect at the scene Right DNA Cannot testify Exactly DNA cannot explain the circumstances of the event A defense attorney could theoretically argue yes my client was there She found her friend murdered panicked cut herself on a broken glass and fled in terror without calling the police It's a weak Defense obviously But in a Capital Murder trial prosecutors want a narrative locked down They Need the suspects own words Which Is why the Arrest Protocol is So highly choreographed Right So let's Look at the Timeline The takedown happened On July sixteenth Twentytwenty six The tactical teams move in and apprehend Velasquez And the very next Day July seventeenth she is officially charged with capital murder But the Most critical window Of This entire fourteen Year saga occurred in the hours between the arrest and the charge Inside the interrogation room Yes The article highlights a singular vital quote regarding this phase Detective Tracy Dixon the main homicide investigator told reporters that Velásquez Was interviewed and that statements she made during that interview Are now considered Critical pieces of Evidence in Her arrest Jixon Refused To elaborate further But the implications are Massive Put yourself in Detective Dixon's chair She Has lived With the Ghost of Arasa Machavez For over a Decade Yeah She walks Into that Interview Room holding An unbeatable Hand Because Valasquez likely Has absolutely No idea About the Genetic genealogy She has no Idea a Detective fished Her Coffee Cup Out of a Trash Can in may So Dixon sits Down across From the Victim's Friend and slowly Begins to lay Out the Trap She Asks Velasco as About twelveteen She Asks If she Was Ever At the House on South Collins Street on the Day of the Murder And if Velasquez lies and says no i haven't been There in Years Dixon lets Her lock Herself into that Lie And then Dixon drops the Hammer She presents the incontrovertible dna Evidence The Psychological pressure of that Moment realizing That a fourteen year old secret has just evaporated in Front of you Must be overwhelming It has to Be I Mean for Dixon to state publicly that Velasquez Provided Critical Pieces of Evidence it heavily Implies that the Suspect either Confessed or provided an Alibi So contradictory and demonstrably false That it serves as Evidence of guilt The Interrogation room secured the Capital Murder Charge But despite the FBI Genealogist Despite the Stakeouts Despite the interview There is a gaping Terrifying Void at the Center of this story

storyThe motive.

During the Wednesday news conference, Chief Jones admitted a chilling fact.

And, um, and, you know, so, so you have this kind of confluence of neo-Darwinism and genetics, um, and as I say, all these people were also eugenicists.

Um, Julian Huxley himself [chuckles] was an, a prime example of somebody, explicitly so.

You know, uh, running eugenic journals and societies and coming up with eugenic programs, and, um, and, uh, uh, the, in fact, to the extent that the journal, the Annals of, uh, Genetics, its name before it became that was The Annals of Eugenics.

Um, so y- it's really not a kind of incidental connection.

It's a fundamental, profound connection between the, the emergence of genetics as a biological theory, neo-Darwinist evolutionary biology, and eugenics.

No amount of archaeology can tell you what jokes people made about their in-laws.

Genetics can't tell you what metaphors they used for time or death or obligation.

Even if you know who was buried where, you don't know what words were spoken over the grave.

A language like Basque is a living archive of all of that.
