Hi everyone!
I'm new to the site and I have been reading through the Buckskin girl postings. I have been interested in this case for sometime now, having grown up in close to the area where she was found. My mother still lives in Miami County.
I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I had some thoughts, which may be way out there, but here they are. Is there a way that LE can cooperate with companies such as ancestory.com to see if they can compare Buckskin girl, or any other DNA from a missing person, with their large amount of DNA profiles that they have stored in their databases? For example, when I gave a DNA sample to ancestory.com, after they processed the sample, I was able to see many people who were 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. cousins that I was able to trace back to find our common ancestor. If LE was able to do this, say for Buckskin girl, maybe hits would come up for 1st cousins, 2nd cousins, or even siblings and they could back track and maybe find clues to who they are by finding out who they are related to.
I'm not sure of the hoops that would have to be jumped through, or the legalities of this, but I just thought I'd throw it out there. Thanks.
Ancestry needs saliva.Technically LE should be able to get a file that could be uploaded to family tree sites; I know of one case that is doing it in Australia but do not know specifics except it's by Colleen that solved Lori
