It appears the semen sample for Terry's rape kit has been run for DNA and it does not match Terry's Fiancee or other suspects in the case.

Inexplicably this case has just been entered into NamUs. Anyone understand why?

Some cases are making there way to NamUs because of the public entering them and the families entering them. There have been a few I have entered in (Terry was not one of them) who are not in NamUs. Some Law Enforcement agencies have not approved on them because they are unaware of what NamUs is. Hopefully one day every county in the country will be aware of what NamUs is and how much it can help aid in a search for information on a missing person.

I wonder if this means the DNA did not match her.

I came across this unsolved case when browsing tonight. I had not heard of this one and I am in Wisconsin. It is very interesting. Terry Dolowy, 24 went missing, 4 days later her headless body was found burning in a ditch. The articles at the link start out in 1985 up to 2001 I believe. They were in 2001 discussing DNA evidence. Her little white poodle named Suzie disapeared with her. I am gonna go search to see if I can come up with more current info. Here is the link for the articles.
