Made an arrest. Credit to law enforcement, impressive how they didn't allow any info to leak.

Brave new world.
I'm in my early 40s. I did an ancestry test 10 years ago and totally forgot about it. Around a month ago, I got a notification that a "genetic relative" was trying to send me a message. Turns out I have a 48 year old half brother I never knew about. My father also was unaware that when he cheated on my mom many decades ago, he had a kid. Half brother had been looking for his biological dad for years and found him through my genetic match. Fortunately my new half brother is a cool guy, but needless to say, Thanksgiving was quite interesting this year.
