C'mon, get happy! :crazy:
The detective has responded to my email and let me know that Anna's DNA was compared to existing UID's with no matches - this means that we have no reason to believe that she is not alive today. This is good news.

This was one question I was afraid of getting the answer to. Thank you Jesus, for answered prayers!
Anna was not one of the 1200+ unidentified persons included in that database. Your DNA will continue to be compared to new unidentifieds that are added every week.
If you are interested in the issues around UID I'd encourage you to work with Project Jason. Kelly Jalwoski (spelled wrong I'm sure) is very active on this issue and working with volunteers to bring legislation to each state. What you say is true -- very few names are entered into any sort of database and nothing exists nationally to bring them all together. It's a mess and many families are suffering horribly when in fact their loved one has been found -- just not identified. If you disappear in 1 county and are found in a different county or state the changes you will be matched up are slim. It's shameful.
Just got off the phone with (the) California DoJ Missing Persons' DNA Supervisor. He said the Cal DoJ DNA report was done for SMCSO and so only SMCSO can decide whether or not to release the results. He said that since this is part of an "ongoing investigation," the Sheriff's Office might have a policy against it, but I would stress to them that you and C. are willing to submit a joint request in writing to obtain those results so that should negate any of their arguments about privacy matters. Things just get curiouser and curiouser ...
What does this mean?
