I've read most of Chicago's UIDs don't have samples available for DNA. Is there any chance you would be able to work on this John Doe, or is no DNA available? Thank you so much for all you've done btw, its just amazing. I know its a very obscure case but it facsinates me.

Thank you once again, Othram. Your leading-edge DNA "distillation" techniques have given answers to these 39-year-old unsolved murders. I believe this will be the beginning of more answers for more families in Ontario. Old DNA samples never improve, but technology does. Carry on.

As they noted in the press conference, there are ~30 more cases in progress.

Great piece on @othram :

Forensic company who helped police crack 1983 murders reveals how they did it

Othram’s Chief Development Officer, Kristen Mittleman, told CTV News Toronto that Toronto police handed their team a piece of evidence after the force exhausted standard forensic testing and found no matches.

“Our DNA testing is something that no one else on earth can do right now the way that we do it here at Othram. We are the first lab that's purpose-built to take this type of evidence and use it for this really advanced forensic genome sequencing process,” Mittleman said.
