The current investigator certainly seems to be trying extremely hard to identify the decedent. There is another lengthy article about possibly using familial DNA to identify Julie Doe, but the investigator is also trying to have isotope testing doe as well. Very pleasing to see how much time an effort is being put into a 30 year old case!!
Tamara Dale feels like she knows Julie Doe.
The Lake County Sheriffs Office sergeant has been investigating the 30-year-old cold case for about two years but has yet to learn Julies real name.
Dale said she doesnt plan to use the test to arrest anyone, especially since a medical examiners report was inconclusive as to Julie Does cause and manner of death.
In a perfect world this test might lead to a suspect, yes, but my first priority is figuring out who she was so her body can be laid to rest, she said. Of course, I would love to figure out what happened to her, but that comes after giving her family some peace.
Dale said she has had the victims DNA run through several other databases and also had all of her evidence checked for foreign DNA. She is hoping to have an isotope test done at the University of South Florida later this year that would test the victims teeth, hair and bone.
The test could help figure out where the victim grew up and lived just before her death.
Part of me really thinks that she didnt live here in Central Florida, so getting this information could really help us figure out where we should be looking, Dale said. Because right now, her whole story is a complete mystery.
