Khloe Kardashian’s paternity has long been in question, with even Khloe insisting that her mother take a maternity test in the past. However, it’s not her mother’s paternity that Kardashian fans seem to doubt, instead it’s her father.

Who's Khloe's Daddy?

Why the Doubts?

Since the release of Kris Jenner’s (Khloe’s mom’s) autobiography where she openly admitted to an affair with another man, the press and Kardashian haters and lovers alike have questioned Khloe’s paternity. Even Khloe’s stepmothers have admitted that Robert Kardashian never thought Khloe was a Kardashian.

Despite all of this, Khloe doesn’t seem to care; she denies wanting a paternity test despite Jenner’s insistence that she get one.

Drama on ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’

Jenner even used the season premiere of ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ (where Khloe visited her mother and sisters in Los Angeles from her home in Dallas, Texas with husband Lamar Odem)to attempt to convince her daughter to take a DNA test to determine her paternity.

“I want to put her mind at rest,” Jenner says, as though actually concerned about her daughter and not the ratings on the show. “I know all the rumors are absolutely ridiculous,” Kris, said later, “But I know this is something she needs in order to feel complete.”

Khloe Doesn’t Care

But Khloe doesn’t seem to care, after consistently brushing off the allegations that Robert Kardashian isn’t her father, “Seriously, my dad is Robert Kardashian. My other dad is Bruce Jenner,” she told her mother during the show. “If you f-c–d other people during the same time and you do not know, go on Maury.”

Khloe even went on to say, “I am an Odom anyway. I’m not a Kardashian anymore, so let’s move on.” But her mother didn’t seem to notice, or care, about her daughter’s insistent determination to not take the paternity test.

After persuading Kim and Kourtney to take DNA tests for comparison to Khloe’s, Jenner has no more luck convincing Khloe that she ‘needs the paternity test to know who she is’.

“Just ’cause everyone’s called me fat, do you want me to go get lipo?” Khloe quipped with her traditional sarcastic humor.

While Khloe doesn’t seem to care who her real father is, her mother Kris Jenner definitely does. Will Khloe eventually get a sibling DNA test to determine the truth? Or will she stick with her adamant refusal to get the paternity test?

The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department has arrested 21-year-old Antolin Garcia-Torres in connection with the disappearance of Sierra LaMar.

sierra lamar 342x441 custom DNA Links Missing Teen, Sierra LaMar, to Suspect, Antolin Garcia Torres
LaMar, a 15-year-old high school student, disappeared on March 16. She was on her way to school at the time of her disappearance. The teen’s cell phone was discovered the following day, just blocks away from her bus stop. On March 18, LaMar’s Juicy brand bag was discovered on the same road where her cell phone had been recovered. A folded set of clothing inside of the bag linked Torres to the missing teen.

The bag, along with the clothes found inside, were taken to the SCCSD where they were examined for evidence. DNA testing confirmed the presence of genetic material. The DNA was compared to samples stored in the CODIS database. The DNA was a match to Garcia-Torres.

Garcia-Torres was implicated in a series of 2009 assaults that occurred outside of a Safeway store in Morgan Hill. He was arrested in 2010 after allegedly assaulting a tenant that owed his mother money. Authorities seized Garcia-Torres’ Jetta last month to search for evidence. The testing revealed the presence of LaMar’s DNA inside of the vehicle.

Garcia-Torres was arrested on May 21. Sheriff Laurie Smith announced the following day that enough evidence, both physical and circumstantial, exists to lead authorities to believe that Garcia-Torres kidnapped and murdered the 15-year-old girl.

The body of Sierra LaMar has not been recovered, and her mother has told news reporters that she is holding on to hope that her daughter is still alive.

Whether you’ve ever wanted to know your ancestry or you are an adopted child wanting to get out and meet your real parents, lineage DNA testing can help you find what you are looking for. Knowing who your family is important, it affects your life and who you are. Unfortunately, in an ever complicated world, it can be difficult to know who your father, mother or even siblings are. Lineage DNA tests are the easiest way to find out who your family is and where you come from. Best of all, most if not all lineage DNA tests can be ordered online and taken in the privacy of your home. All you have to do is mail in samples or bring them to a collection clinic and wait for your results.

Ancestral Lineage DNA Testing: Find out your Family History
Ancestral Origins DNA Testing – An ancestral origins DNA test will take your sample of DNA and compare it to hundreds and thousands of other DNA samples to determine who you are related to and where you came from. Ancestral origins DNA tests can tell you your geo-genetical history including racial background and likely regional background. You can use this DNA test to determine where in the world you came from. Even if you think you know this, you may be surprised.

Maternity DNA Testing – Whether you’re an adopted child, grew up without your mother or simply need to prove maternity, maternity DNA testing can help. The test can be done from home and mailed in for results in as fast as five days!

Missing Parent DNA Testing – Many people who have a missing parent or would like to prove their biological heritage without asking one of their parents for samples can use the missing parent DNA test. This test involves taking DNA samples from one parent and grandparents as well as the child to create a DNA profile or map that is then used to determine the DNA and therefore the identity of the missing parent.

Male/Female Lineage DNA Testing – It is very common for one man or one woman to have children with multiple partners. In some cases, it can be hard to prove lineage due to a complicated relationship. These two tests can be used to ascertain whether a sibling is a full brother or sister, half brother or sister or not related at all. Tests include the male lineage testing which tests for male relationships in men which uses the Y-STR gene, and female lineage DNA testing which tests for female relationships using the X-SV gene which is passed down from the mother. Doctors can create a profile using these genes to determine family relationships of almost any kind.

If you know who your family is, then you know who you are. Today’s lineage DNA tests are affordable, fast and most importantly, accurate.

Prenatal Paternity Testing

Prenatal Prenatal Paternity TestingPrenatal paternity testing is becoming more and more important in today’s world. An estimated 75% of fathers who pay child support are paying for children who are, in fact, not even theirs. A further estimated 10% of American children are fathered by someone other than the man their mother tells them.  Courts recommend that any parent who will be paying child support get a paternity test, before agreeing to pay.

While in some cases, this is caused by deceit, studies show that the majority of these mothers just don’t know who the father is. This phenomenon is part of the cause for the rising demand for prenatal paternity testing.

Prenatal paternity testing allows the mother to privately determine who the father of her child is. This removes any guessing, uncertainty or the possibility of mistakes and for any woman who has had more than one partner, this can be extremely important for the future of the child. Knowing who the father of the child is will allow the mother to legally demand child support or share custody from the man she has proven is the father.

Today’s non-invasive prenatal paternity tests allow women to take a test right from the privacy of their home. All that is required is a simple drawing of blood with no doctor required for the non-invasive test; a doctor will be required to withdraw amniotic fluid samples for older versions of the test. Women should include a sample from the expected father. The child’s DNA is picked up directly from the mother’s blood, allowing DNA test labs to determine the paternity of the child before it is born. Fetal DNA is extremely plentiful in the mother’s bloodstream as documented in the book, ‘Prenatal Diagnosis’ by Jocelyn Kaiser. The process of prenatal paternity testing involves comparing the DNA of the child with that of the father in order to conclusively determine results.

Most importantly, this new, non-invasive prenatal paternity test allows women to test the paternity of their child without risking harm to the fetus. Outdated, less safe prenatal tests required the mother to visit a doctor in order to withdraw a sample of amniotic fluid from around the womb. The process required inserting a needle into the womb to withdraw the fluid which could be harmful to the child. No prenatal paternity test can be purchased online, however; you can schedule a purchase date from a local store through your computer. You should arrange for a pickup of your DNA samples when you order the tests.

The new, non-invasive prenatal test can be performed as early as 9 weeks with DNA test results in as little as 5 days!

Prenatal paternity tests are safe, affordable and can be performed at home. All you have to do is take a blood sample from the mother and the alleged father, mail it in and wait for positive results. Learning the truth is important on any occasion, but even more so when it involves the paternity of a child. Home paternity tests are private, affordable and most importantly, accurate. If you have any doubts about the paternity of a child, there is no reason why you shouldn’t purchase a prenatal test and have a professional pick it up for analyzing. Knowing the paternity of your child is important for the mother, the father and the child!

DNA Evidence Found in the Death of Gareth Williams, British Spy

BritishSpy DNA Evidence Found in the Death of Gareth Williams, British SpyIn 2010 the unexplained death of Gareth Williams, puzzled the world. Detectives suggested that perhaps his mysterious death had been caused during a sex game gone wrong, his parents suggested British Spy Agency involvement.

At the time of his death, the 31 year old was employed by Britain’s ‘secret spy’ service GCHQ and also had ties to M16 agents overseas.

His death was even more mysterious than his work. Williams was found naked and dead inside of a padlocked sports bag that had been placed into his bathtub. His body was found decomposing, one week after death. His body was free of contaminates suggesting drugs, recreational drugs or alcohol and his body did not display signs of a struggle.

Police agree that there was no way Williams could have locked the bag from the outside. However; by all accounts he seemed to have gotten into the bag on his own. Further reports state that he probably suffocated within 30 minutes of being locked inside of the gym bag.

Two people were spotted entering the Williams residence around the time of his death. They have not been located.

Despite initial police claims of an accident; Williams’ family suggests British Intelligence involvement. They claim that items are missing from Williams flat, that the police wiped away prints and removed prints from the bag as part of a cover-up. Because of their accusations, the police began an in depth investigation of his mysterious death.

New DNA tests run on the bag have produced two inconsistencies that suggest a third party was present to put Williams into the bag. According to the Gaurdian, “It was only discovered in February that it was actually DNA from one of the forensic officers… the mistake had been both financially and emotionally costly. Around 60 people, friends and colleagues, were DNA tested to see if they matched, she said, while Williams’s family had been given hope that a third party could be identified.”

Unfortunately, the case remains open.
