I’m not a forensic scientist or a csi so forgive my very inept question: wouldn’t the DNA sample have been linked to a genealogy profile by now? It’s been 30 (+/-) years?

this confuses me because aren't there DNA databases? Like, you just upload it into a computer and save it? That's how commercial DNA tests work, right? They're not retesting my sample every time I get a new DNA match. I could've sworn I've heard of databases for criminals.

Thanks for explaining this! Do you think they’ll ever solve this?

I feel like they need to go ahead and try, for John’s sake. Who knows how much longer he has to live and he deserves an answer.

obviously, Im ignorant, but I thought DNA a "code" that can be saved as a document. For lack of a better example, like an excel sheet with data listed. Why is that not a feasible option to compare "codes" across the board?

tante_kikki :
I was going to ask a similar question, but I think mine is different enough to actually ask it now. Why do DNA samples have to be tested over and over and over again? Once it’s been tested and you have the results from that DNA test are they not stored on a database or even an analog on a piece of paper that can be brought into court? Like the one in the picture? I would understand would have to be saved because the defense would want to run their own tests. But why is two not enough one for the prosecution one for the defense maybe a third for control?

I think if they did genealogy testing the Ramseys would recognize the names in the family tree. I don’t think it was anybody in their house but I think it was somebody who knew the family

Paige :
I remember hearing that the investigation was so bad and that’s why they couldn’t test DNA on the ligature which is unfortunate because that would for sure contain an enormous amount of DNA I’d think. With that said, wouldn’t her body still be riddled with this persons DNA from their hands? I mean the way they would’ve had to of handled her.

Are there not any records of the initial results? Genuine question.

Why can’t you just take the sequence and keep that on file and even upload it so then when you get a match you have an alert.

why not compare it to genealogy DNA?

Winston's Mom :
What are the detection limits for current DNA analysis procedures? I know they are a lot lower today vs in the 90’s when this crime happened. Could they try to get more DNA from the other area he touched? I know that area likely just has trace DNA. How much better do the police want the technology to be before they try to do IGG on it?

I have a question that I’m hoping isn’t stupid… why can’t dna be saved in a computer data base? Like a finger print.

Why can’t PCR and STR analysis be used to create a profile that is on file with CODIS?

its so sad anyone would do that 😪

Would they find stains now that they didn't in the 90s? Or was the technology good enough to find everything back then?
