Hi all, my first Post, I have been reading here though.
If the Police were certain with their evidence NUA was the Perpetrator, I would have thought NUA would have been charged by now,unless the Police are waiting for DNA test's and result's to come back.
If it was only partial DNA the SOC Officer's obtained from Jo's body, I would presume the FSS are doing the following LCN,establishment of the DNA profile through LCN (Low Copy Numbers) which could take time,this is achieved through increasing the number of amplification cycles,if the FSS can obtain a full Profile and it matches NUA then they have their Man, but if it does not match NUA, the Police will have a DNA profile of the Perpetrator and the following could be done.
If the DNA does not throw up a match on the National Data Base,then a search of the Data Base could be done a Familial DNA search, a related technique called case-specific partial match, DNA samples belonging to a Father or Son, Sister, Brother, Mother, Uncle aren't an exact match, the similarities signal a close familial relationship.
This has been done in England before which resulted in catching a serial rapist, who got away with his Crime for a very long time, it was when the rapist's Sister was charged with a drink driving offence and her DNA was taken, which resulted in her DNA being put onto the Data Base, The Sister's DNA on the National Data Base threw up a very close match to the DNA by the rapist, which was her Brother, he is now in Prison where he will not commit crimes against Woman again.
Such a waste of a young Woman's life, and devastating for the Family, I hope the Police will get a result soon.
