Thanks for the update. I am crossing my fingers too.
I would love to see some of these children get their names back.
I did find this rule out list from the Cold Case thread on this case (not sure of the accuracy):
Sharuan Cole
Toya Hill
Shaunda Green
Shelia Hill
Tiahease Jackson
Yolanda Williams
Sheila Quinn
Also:
"Nikole Betterson has not been ruled out and neither has Kelly Staples.
Kelly Staples mother has to be found for DNA, since her father is dead and as of now, they can't find mother either."
Although on Kelly Staples's doe page it says DNA is in CODIS.
Unid'ed Black Female, Child, 1983, Missouri, Strangulation, decapitation after death - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community
The number of children on this list is just overwhelmingly. It's so tragic and terrible.
