A 21-year-old central Texas man recently turned himself in, confessing in front of his church congregation to a murder he said he committed 18 months prior.Ryan Riggs' confession came one week after a 3D likeness was released that showed what the suspect in that murder might look like based on DNA collected at the scene.The Brown County Sheriff told reporters that Riggs was never even on their radar until this DNA profile was released, according to the Washington Times.The 3D image was so similar that authorities had said they were hot on his trail when he decided to confess. The chances are good that Riggs would have seen the image circulated on local news and knew that his time was running out.The 3D image and profile that was generated is called a “snapshot,” and it’s the brainchild of a Reston, Virginia-based company called Parabon Nanolabs. The process is called “phenotyping.”“DNA phenotyping refers to predicting traits from unknown DNA. If you couldn’t match it to a suspect or database, that was sort of the end of the road,” said Parabon’s CEO Steve Armentrout. “With Snapshot, we are able to take that DNA and use it as a genetic witness to predict eye color, hair color, skin color, freckling, even face shape, to provide police with some description of the person that left that DNA behind.”Parabon originally got its start in this type of work after the Department of Defense put out a solicitation asking for help in using DNA for counterterrorism efforts, but it wasn’t until 2015 that Parabon made their resources available to police departments nationwide.“We knew it could help active investigations,” Armentrout said. “Getting this kind of information upfront could make law enforcement more efficient.”But he believes where the technology really changes the game is in regards to decades-old cold cases.“To see it being used to go back and solve these 25 year old crimes is surprising and exciting,” he said.One of Parabon's oldest "success stories" stems from a 1997 rape and murder of a Costa Mesa, California woman. In 2016, they produced a Snapshot from the DNA found, and "within weeks," police had gone back to the drawing board.Just last year, they identified the man they believe is their suspect, and he's now living in Mexico. Authorities hope to extradite him and bring him back to the United States to face charges.Ellen Greytak, a bioinformatics specialist at Parabon, said that, as a scientist, seeing results affect real people is "not something you often get to see.""The work that I did is now actually making a difference and helping people," she said. 2671

“If you keep your hand here long enough it feels like he’s breathing,” Alan Trujillo said, explaining the lifelike, battery-powered pet he was holding. It’s a toy he brings in for older adults, as part of his job with Home Instead.“We provide senior care for seniors in their home,” he said. “A lot of times the only person our senior will see is their caregiver.” Trujillo works as the recruitment and engagement coordinator for Home Instead in Whittier, California.Right now with COVID-19 concerns, interactions for seniors are limited, and all the more important.“They’re very aware that they are in that high majority group of people who don't survive this, so it does lead to a little depression,” Trujillo said. Depression these lifelike animals help combat.“Well before the pandemic we’ve been focused on this epidemic of loneliness and isolation which is really impacting seniors at an astronomical rate,” Ted Fischer, co-founder and CEO of Ageless Innovation, said. Ageless Innovation is the parent company of the Joy for All line of companion pets.“We currently have cats, dogs and kittens,” he said. “It's not about the technology, it's about the magic. It's about what the technology enables.”A study by the University of California, San Francisco in 2012 found that 43 percent of the surveyed older adults felt lonely. And that was long before the pandemic.Social isolation has also been associated with about a 50 percent increased risk of dementia, among other serious medical conditions, according to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine as cited by the CDC.It’s an issue that’s only been made worse by COVID-19.“All of these incredibly important protective measures that are put in place are further isolating older adults,” Fischer said. And these furry friends, designed with older adults in mind, bark, meow, and react to your attention just like real animals.“Pets in general have always helped seniors and most people get out of a funk. Coming home to that dog that’s just looking at you and wagging its tail, it’s hard to feel upset because that's unconditional love,” Catherine Baines-Sobczak, a licensed marriage family therapist with the HealthOne crisis assessment team, said.“Essentially it’s a perception of not feeling connected to other people, feeling unsupported or feeling that you’re misunderstood,” she said. She said beyond the online games, book clubs, and phone calls, animals provide something special.“With seniors it's difficult to find things to care for that give you that immediate reaction, so those pets...they do that,” she explained. “Having something to hold that’s tactile, that's soft, that may bring up memories of past pets they've had...that could help them feel less lonely.”Decreasing the sense of loneliness has other health benefits too.“Their memory is also impaired by loneliness, you don't have those outside triggers to remind you of things and to stay connected,” Baines-Sobczak said.As we find new ways to connect with our older loved ones without putting their health at risk, the demand for companion pets, which are sold online, continues to bloom.“I think like most skeptics, the second you see an older adult receive one of these, immediately name it and interact with it like they've had it forever, it’s magical. It really is,” Fischer said. 3346

(KGTV) - The Tesla vehicle involved in a deadly California crash last week was operating in "Autopilot" mode, the company confirmed Friday.The vehicle is now the latest accident involving an autonomous vehicle in the last month.The fatal crash on March 23 occurred in Mountain View, Calif. The vehicle had been engaged in Autopilot and alerted the driver with "several" visual and audible "hands-on" warnings, Tesla said in a release.RELATED: Tesla recalling more than 100,000 Model S sedansThe driver, identified as 38-year-old Walter Huang, had not had his hands on the wheel in the six seconds leading up to the fiery crash, according to the drive logs Tesla recovered."The driver had about five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider with the crushed crash attenuator, but the vehicle logs show that no action was taken," according to Tesla.Tesla said the force of the crash was so severe the highway safety barrier designed to reduce impact into the concrete lane divider had been crushed."We have never seen this level of damage to a Model X in any other crash," Tesla said.RELATED: Uber doesn't plan to renew self-driving permit in CaliforniaOfficials from Tesla said they are working with investigators to understand what led to the crash.The company maintained, however, that drivers using Autopilot are 3.7 times less likely to be involved in a fatal crash."No one knows about the accidents that didn’t happen, only the ones that did. The consequences of the public not using Autopilot, because of an inaccurate belief that it is less safe, would be extremely severe," Tesla said.RELATED: Police release video after Uber self-driving car hits, kills womanIn March, a self-driving Uber vehicle hit and killed a pedestrian in Arizona. That crash had also been utilizing a self-driving system. Dashboard video showed the driver appeared to not have his hands on the wheel at the time of the collision. 1985

(KGTV) -- Local businesses struggle to survive as the pandemic drags on, and more restrictions are expected across San Diego county.Farideh Sandahl opened Blusandz boutique on Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach in 2017. Last week, she shut her doors for good."Heartbreaking, frustrating, it felt like a relief, as well," said Sandahl.Sandahl said they made it through the initial shut down in March, but when COVID-19 cases surged in the summer, they couldn't recoup their losses."After the fourth of July, things just dropped. It was like a ghost-town," said Sandahl.The Design District on Cedros Avenue is home to dozens of unique shops, restaurants, and coffee shops. Before the pandemic hit, the business owners were holding monthly outdoor strolls with live music."Leaping Lotus and The Belly Up, they were our lifeline. They were like the places to go," said Sandahl.The Belly Up is currently holding shows online, and Lotus, formerly known as Leaping Lotus, closed in June."With COVID, it really killed that area," said Sandahl.A few doors down, Caravan West and Curve Couture are advertising going out of business sales.Sandahl says she'll continue working in the fashion industry."When I see people wear the clothes outside of my boutique, I was like oh, I sold that to them!"She'll still sell her clothes on her website blusandz.com [blusandz.com]"I learned, I learned what not to do, I learned what to do, and I've learned to continue with your head up and your tunnel vision on your goal," said Sandahl. 1518
