I do not know much about the various types of DNA but the expert I spoke to said if the MP and UP both have DNA in COTIS and they match it will show the match. She did not specify different types

It's CODIS, Combined DNA Index System.

I was unable to find a direct answer to whether autosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA can be matched against each other (though I think they cannot). However, mitochondrial DNA can only be matched against female relatives. Thus if a UID woman has mtDNA in CODIS (or in this case more commonly, NAMUS), and her father provides a sample for comparison which is also entered, there will not be a match. So it's a great deal more complicated than if both people have DNA on file, there will be a match.

The below link gives a basic rundown on DNA types and matches.

Thank you very much! Autocorrect does not like CODIS and randomly picks whatever it thinks looks dumb‍

I don’t know anything about how matching is done in CODIS all I know is what the Coroner office told me and what the missing person DNA specialist confirmed. Both said if there is DNA in CODIs it will find the match.

So I am open to any insights. Thank you

Agree with post #21 re: Taj Narbonne. He has not been ruled out.
