Investigative Genealogy

Investigative genealogy seems to have caught the imagination "over the pond", a good example being this BuzzFeed article. One hears little about it in the UK (or I just don't look in the right places). To what extend are our police forces using these techniques I wonder?

Whatever, I've just been into my GedMatch profile and changed my preferences to allow law enforcement authorities to use my data. After all, one never knows who might be perpetrating crimes. I've recently discovered that a distant relative of my wife who, unfortunately, was obviously severely mentally disturbed, murdered his sister.
