I would submit it to Mr. Anderson - doesn't sound like it would hurt, and good luck to you and her family.

FYI, here is response I got from Mr. Anderson when I asked if she had been excluded.

I believe that we have, but I will verify this when I return to Tucson next Monday. Thanks for you interest in our case. BEA

Being 1/2 sisters can adversely affect any DNA testing done - Dect. Dan Marana informed me of this yesterday. They are now trying to locate her son & daughters for M-DNA testing.

*Today is the 12 year anniversary of Dana's disappearance...*

Got this today FYI...

"I am not certain that we can exclude Dana from being the Jane Doe from 2005 (Namus UP # 6771) as there may be a problem with the family reference sample for Dana. The DNA lab is aware of this issue and steps are being taken (per Dana's sister) to rectify the problem.

Looks like there is a permission error on this case in NamUs. Wonder if she's been identified?

Hello I don't know who responded about my sister's teeth being pulled Dana had all her teeth and at time of disappearance I did find a note to see a dentist appointment .... She did have fillings but none missing .

 

[dawnmilano]

Hello everyone i would like to thank the people who did respond and take time to read and post to help find Dana Becker , she is my oldest sister , I believe that whom ever is responsible for her disappearance may GOD have mercy on your soul very bad person / persons .I need help with finding out what happened answer something I'm thinking of getting in to a support group here .Dana was a good person she did not work the streets a lady pick her up from our grandmothers that night never came back it took the Det 2 1/2 years to come talk to me my faith in the system is not so much .

 

[dawnmilano]

They had taken my DNA and her son's and daughter's also,but Det. Dan Marana informed me that my DNA had gotten contaminated , then I got a hold of Det on her case at the time he stated he had no clue of what I was talking about.so I never went back down there and now Dan Marana doesn't know what I'm talking about very strange .

The case is still unavailable, and I couldn't find any news or updates.
