A North Carolina woman discovered through a DNA test that her biological father was William Bradford Bishop, an FBI fugitive wanted in connection with the 1976 murders of his wife, mother and three sons.
Bishop allegedly killed the five family members in Bethesda, Maryland, before burning their bodies in North Carolina. The FBI added him to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list in 2014.

Kathy Gillcrist, who was adopted in the 1950s, took a 23andMe DNA test six decades later. With help from a genealogist cousin, she identified Bishop as her biological father and found his FBI wanted poster online.
After publishing her book, It's In My Genes, Gillcrist developed a relationship with the FBI and received tips from around the world. The murders remain unsolved, and Bishop would be 90 if still alive.
