Great news! I'd be surprised if she hasn't been identified for a while by now, however.New updates on the spreadsheet.
Charlene's new highest match is 334.7 cM, up from 241.6 cM.
Wow, also great news! Fingers crossed they will be able to identify the other 2 victims as well, B-20 and B-17.Another DDP case is officially confirmed to be solved! One of the Green River victims (Gary Ridgway's victim) known as Jane Doe B-10 has been identified by the DDP team and confirmed by the LE as 14 year old Wendy Stephens (taken from the dedicated thread). She was only 14 years old...

Millie's FTDNA is even better so I didn't include her.Millie has also had a small jump to 33.7.
Did you contact them directly or did you contact the Law enforcement first? I believe, the DDP only takes cases when they are contacted directly by the law enforcement (I am not sure if this has changed).I've been trying to get them to take some of the cases in Monroe County, FL - the Florida Keys. There are a number of unidentified Doe's there; frankly their resources to investigate in that regard is pretty limited because there are so few personnel to do the work.
As far as I know this is still the case since they don't have time to contact LE offices.Did you contact them directly or did you contact the Law enforcement first? I believe, the DDP only takes cases when they are contacted directly by the law enforcement (I am not sure if this has changed).
Yes I am too.Does anyone else get this message when trying to visit the DDP website?

It seems to be working fine for me now.I have no message but it is still not opening for me.
Does somebody know what DNA not available means? I was reading about Pittsburg county couple (OK), but according to Doenetwork dna is not available, what can be the reason for it?
It's not definitively impossible though, I believe Harper Jane Doe and Grant County John Doe are listed as insufficient DNA for profiling.Often, it's because it's an older case and DNA wasn't taken at the time because DNA comparison hadn't been discovered yet. So to get DNA, the body needs to be exhumed. This can be difficult because sometimes records weren't kept as to where Does were buried and/or they were buried in unmarked graves, sometimes even potter's graves with several others. Exhumation can also be expensive. Sadly, many older Does (especially in California I believe?) were cremated, so ever getting DNA from those cases is near impossible.
I haven't seen one, and I've been refreshing periodically, maybe an announcement is pending.No spreadsheet update today?
