Same! I'm so excited and hope that we find something out soon (even though I know the genetic genealogy will probably take a while)
Since they didn't have DNA for these remains prior to Othram taking on the case, there's a possibility they may get a match when they load it into CODIS, saving time and money on research. I love fgg, wish it had been a thing when I was trying to figure out a major back in college decades ago, but if they can match this case with DNA they already have on file for a missing person, I'm all for it, too.
Perhaps! We've turned up a number of possible matches! though it seems like the ones I end up hearing about are people whose DNA was never uploaded into Codis and whose files may be sitting in a dusty basement if they were reported missing at all...
Exactly, but Othram said, in so many words, they start with CODIS first and then move on to the forensic genealogy side if nothing shakes out.
Her niece has a Facebook page about her. They “think” it was March of 1971 so 3 months isn’t a stretch.
