  Y chromosome

  It does make sense. The article says that Holes reached out to the contact who had a Y-DNA match with the killer. The contact was a woman (the administrator of the DNA test). It was her father who matched. the police requested that her father take an additional DNA test, which she coordinated.
  
  Many of the tests on DNA sites are administered by another person. I administrate about 20 DNA kits on various sites.

  falsely accused with DNA test

  OF course police could end up with false matches; it has happened many times. This is why the DNA privacy rules need to be tightened up, ASAP.

  Law enforcement and licensed private investigators are permitted, in a lawful investigation, to use undercover techniques, such as using covert identities..
