Ah, so she's a Parabon Nanolabs case! At least now we know she's being worked on, @theshadow45

"Through a grant, the King County Sheriff’s Office was able to submit samples from Bones 17 to Virginia-based Parabon Nanolabs, which isolated snippets of her DNA. Scientists used a DNA phenotyping process to reverse-engineer the victim’s probable physical characteristics.

That generated a much more comprehensive profile than previously known, including her predicted hair, eye and skin color, facial shape and other physical characteristics. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which previously had created a composite sketch of Bones 17 based on her skull structure, has since used the new details to create an enhanced composite."

(...)

"Forensic evidence indicates Bones 17 was probably in her mid- to late teens at the time of her murder. The Sheriff’s Office also has sought to use familial genealogy to identify Bones 17, but so far have had no luck.

“This composite is sort of our half step to get there,” said Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Tim Meyer. “Our hope is it will help bring a relative forward.”

Over the years, investigators have uploaded DNA and dental profiles into national databases and reviewed dozens of missing persons and runaway reports, to no avail. They’ve also had isotope analysis done on the remains to determine a region-of-origin of the victims, based on “where they were drinking water as they were growing up,” Taylor said.

It suggested Bones 17 may be a native of the northeastern United States or Canada, she said, though it’s possible she’s from the Northwest."

Investigators hope new DNA-enhanced sketch of ‘Bones 17’ gives Green River victim a name
 
Guys, I just want to point out that just because Parabon NanoLabs has done phenotyping sketch for her, it does not automatically mean that they are the one who are also doing genetic genealogy for her. Parabon has done phenotyping sketches for many other cases where they have not worked on genealogy part.

Genealogy could be worked on by National Center for Missing and Exploited Children team or DNA Doe Project or entirely someone else, until it is officially confirmed. But yes, it is being done by someone as we speak.

Edit to add: DNA Doe Project is working on Bones 20 and they have worked on Bones 10 which were identified in January of this years as 14-year-old Wendy Stephens, so yes, it is possible it is them who work on this case too. But I guess it would have been listed on their site, so not sure.

I wonder how much genetic material they need for the phenotyping process versus how much is needed to do genetic genealogy.

Sounds like a difficult extraction, maybe they're having the same problems they had with Precious Doe/Lisa Roberts.
 
I just noticed that Jane Doe B-17 hasn't had her NamUs information posted in this thread. The page hasn't updated her recon yet, though. It would be great if someone with access could post the ruleouts, too, if they aren't too many.
