'Martyr of the A10': DNA leads to France arrests over 1987 murder
French police have arrested a couple 31 years after their daughter was found dead, in a cold case revived through DNA evidence. The mutilated body of the child, named by police as Inass, was found by a motorway in central France in 1987. The parents were traced after the DNA of their son, tested in an unrelated case, was matched with that of the girl, French media report.
[...] In 2008, her DNA was formally identified, and the related information registered in a national genetic prints database. However no identification was made at that stage. The case was reopened in 2012 when a call for witnesses was released with a picture of the dead girl's face and the caption: "Who is she?"
The apparent breakthrough in the case happened when a man was arrested over a violent incident in 2016. His DNA reportedly identified him as the victim's brother. Months of investigation then led police to the parents.

Yeah, but they have to go out in public to buy bomb-making suppliers. You can catch them then.

I hope there is no pressure cooker registry in our lifetimes (as it is now you can go to a small family hardware store and buy a Presto with cash).

I love my pressure cooker and use it at least four times a week. Low energy use and most meals in less than 20 minutes.

I'm using an Instant Pot right now to make a gallon of yogurt at a time. With the pressure cook option I was able to make pulled pork in about half the time.
And who doesn't love canning? I'm not sure that electric pressure cookers should be used for it, but it would be fine for high acid preserves that can be done with boiling water and no pressure.

I once dated a midwife during a time when her work was quite a serious felony.
But in the particular place she and I lived a great many soon-to-be parents chose midwives over doctors.
That particular area was chock-full of folks who had little use for the government. Without a doubt there were plenty of children whose existence was never reported to the government until perhaps they got driver's licenses at 16. Without a doubt many never really felt the need for a license when they drove their family cars.

How can they get a license without a birth certificate? I'd guess concealing a birth would be a crime too.
