I just read that they are currently testing Grateful Doe's DNA against Jason Callahan's family's DNA. Still waiting for results. It all seems to fit together. Hoping and praying for a resolution for Grateful Doe and Jason Callahan's family.

I have never seen it happen this way. Usually when the tests are complete they do the comparison but I dont know who holds GDF's DNA sample.

I spoke to the daughter of a missing woman; her DNA was processed in 15 weeks, now it's on to comparison of a KY Jane Doe. What I think may be happening is they made a new department to do comparisons to make things not take as long because UNT hold Jason & GDF's DNA. Thankfully Carl had it saved - see below

The tests are complete so we are just waiting on them to compare the DNA to Kentucky Doe so please say a prayer for our family.

Really do not understand what's going on. My opinion has been that the ME has the comparison since Tammy's memorial service, June 10th. I don't know why it wasn't called on GDF's 20th anniversary June 26. Here we are now August 19th, still no word; both NamUs profiles are still online, yet Jason has not been added to GDF's rule out list. *Note, going to add this to a few threads...

You don't have to add the same thing in every thread

I bumped 2 threads for GDF because there are different people signed up to them. There are 3 threads people post to; Jason's and the 2 for GDF. I do a search of my email notifications to see which are the ones that get bumped. If it bothers people I won't do it again

I'm subscribed to all 3 and it doesn't bother me one bit. Keep doing your thing, Roselvr!

Yes I appreciate very much! So many people are waiting for the answers after spending years looking for a match and I don't want a single one to miss an update!

 

[CoverMeCagney]

Beamie - have you been in touch with Jason's sister recently? Do the family have any idea why the DNA is taking soooooo long?

 

[Beamie]

Yes, I've talked to her, and she's just as frustrated as we are. She has no idea why it's taking so long. I'll ask if she's called them lately

 

[CoverMeCagney]

Thank you, please keep us posted.

It's frustrating for us but it must be excruciating for the family, and actually I think it's grossly unjust to take this long, I just don't understand....

 

[Beamie]

Me neither. They have everything they need to do this.

 

[CoverMeCagney]

I think I mentioned on another thread a case have in the UK. Possible blood match was found for a missing person - samples were collected to compare, results were back within 3 or 4 days. They were negative although they identified whose DNA it actually was, but nevertheless, it shows there isn't a physical reason for long delays. I guess there are backlogs but given the sensitive nature of DNA testing you'd think they'd get more people on it. Madness!

 

[Roselvr]

Does she speak to Jason's mom? Has she contacted Pamela Reed to see if more DNA was needed? I had tagged Pam on FB

 

[Beamie]

She's in contact with Jasons mom, I'm sure the mother will tell the sister is she hears first. His sister hasn't been online yet, still waiting for her response

 

[Beamie]

They're trying to get an answer about Jasons mom dna (I guess they're not sure if they can use it). That could take up to 2 months. If not, the sister is gonna give her DNA so they can check it.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard the best dna/match is from a sibling, not a parent

I thought I read in June/July that his sister submitted her DNA sample?

 

[Beamie]

She hasn't yet.

Lol! You took the words right outta my mouth! Unless they told her to hold off, assuming Mom's DNA would suffice
