For DNA, Namus says "Sample submitted - Tests complete"

And yet invesitgators don't know the sex? Am I mistaken in thinking that they should be able to figure that out from the DNA?

Sex of an individual is determined via nuclear DNA. It is likely that only mitochondrial DNA was retrieved, which wouldn't be surprising considering the state of the remains.
 
In the NamUs link quite a bit of the information is different than/conflicts with that that is displayed here on the thread. For example, above it says that both fingerprints and dentals are available for this UID but the link says neither are. It also says that "all parts were recovered" yet the remains are described as being 'partial' and that the weight and height could not be estimated because of this. I think there's a good chance that the mandible Romulus mentioned could be related to this UID.

They must have corrected some mistakes. The information in the first post came from Namus.
