OK, thanks. It does sound as though they want to sit on the results for reasons of their own. Perhaps it opens up a very specific line of enquiry and they don't want to tip the wrong person off. I'd be surprised if the person(s) responsible for her death don't keep an eye on developments to some extent or other.
I believe they have semen and have a male DNA profile, I'm not sure if they have a name associated with it though.
I'm convinced they want to keep it for themselves, could be because of the person(s) responsible or for other reasons, could be because she's not from the US like they've always thought was the case. I'm surprised they posted isotope testing continuing at The Smithsonian on their FB page. I still have to find the article I remember that did say they weren't going to release the isotope results because I'm sure I read it
While looking for it, I ended up on
her wiki looking for the article, ended up seeing something that caught my eye; it was citation
#18 "Investigators find ties between Jane Doe, Illinois case". Milwaukee Journal Sentinel By Tunkieicz, Jenny July 21, 2000 but there isn't a working URL, thankfully her
Porch light thread has it. I'm going to have to go there and read when I have time but basically the female was
Mary Kate Sunderlin. Sunderlin, 34, disappeared from Carpentersville, Illinois on September 4, 1999. In December of that year, her remains were found in the Green Belt Forest Preserve. She had been tortured and beaten to death. Three men were eventually convicted in her case, but Sunderlin was not identified until February 2006, when an investigator saw her case listed on the Charley Project and made the connection. Dental records confirmed the match.

Computer rendering of Jane Doe - Jane Doe: Body found here may have global connections
Reilly said she believes the identity of the woman found in Raymond may have been so difficult to establish because she may not even be from this country.
She came to this realization in an odd and unexpected way.
While searching for caregivers for her mother, who became ill five years ago, Reilly found a hospice agency in Illinois that hired and trained women from the Ukraine and Eastern Bloc countries to work in people's homes.
Reilly hired a Ukranian woman to care for her mother, and while working the case of the woman in Raymond, she began thinking seriously about a connection.
''There are over 1,000 women from the Ukraine and the surrounding countries living and working through these agencies in the northern Illinois area,'' she said.
Based on the description of the woman found in Illinois, Reilly believes she, too, could be from outside the United States.
Thank you. The subject of private church-run Christian residential facilities for wayward teenagers was raised on the BG thread. That also seems to me to be a very useful line of enquiry.
I just wish we had some recent information from LE on RCJD. I suspect there's quite a bit going on behind the scenes and one day they'll just announce her identity.

This is the most recent, I posted it the other day but depending on how you sort your threads, it may be on another page. Was

According to what I'm seeing isotopes were inconclusive, supposedly the
Smithsonian are still working on it. I could have sworn LE decided not to release that information but I'm not finding what I'm looking for. I know it was posted in the thread, probably by me but I don't have time to search right now. I want to ask but I want to make sure I read they weren't releasing it 1st.

Racine County Jane Doe case remains unsolved - By Eric Ross - 12:36 PM, Aug 1, 2016 - 5:01 PM, Aug 1, 2016
Investigator Hintz hopes the composite sketch of the girl and a description of her clothing will help crack this case....
So far, nobody has come forward to claim the woman, who investigators believe was in her late teens or early 20s when she was tortured and killed.
She was burnt and beaten, Hintz said. In the last few days of her life it escalated substantially.
DNA samples were collected, and in 2013, her body was exhumed for isotope testing.
Mystery of Racine County Jane Doe Continues - Posted By: Heather Asiyanbi November 18, 2015
Investigators hoping advanced forensic testing would help lead them to the identity of the young woman found in a Raymond cornfield in 1999 continue to work her case despite the testing proving inconclusive...
Two years ago, Jane Doe was exhumed for isotope testing, a process by which bone tissue is removed from a body to try and determine where she was from or at least had been in the months leading up to her death.
In a nutshell, the makeup of the earth gases, minerals, chemical compounds varies greatly from region to region. The foods we eat both animal and vegetable can be a map to where weve been because the foods absorb the unique makeup of the earth where they are, so when we eat those foods, were also absorbing those gases, minerals and chemical compounds.
Certain isotopes can be found in teeth and bones even after death, so investigators were hoping that Jane Does isotopes would give them a key to eventually lead to her identity, but the tests were inconclusive. Still, Racine County Sheriffs Investigator Tracy Hintz, lead detective on Janes case, continues to follow leads and believes that as science continues to evolve, answers about Janes identity and her killer(s) will become clear.
Sheriff On Catching Jane Does Killer: Its Only A Matter Of Time -
Posted By: Denise Lockwood July 21, 2015
With law enforcement officials from several jurisdictions surrounding her casket, the woman theyve come to know as Jane Doe was buried at noon Tuesday, July 21 at Holy Family Cemetery in Caledonia after her body had been exhumed in October 2013 to gather more DNA evidence. Investigators with the Racine County Sheriffs Department know she wasnt a girl as they originally thought, and that she was likely between the ages of 18 to 25-years-old when she died.
