Don't worry, I'm sure Othram will work on this case if it's viable.

I'm still keeping my eye on this one. Maybe 2024 will be the year of answers for her, if not 2023. I'm just glad you're working on it

I would say that it is a viable case since Jane Doe has DNA available.

 

[SimsGuy67]

I would say that it is a viable case since Jane Doe has DNA available.

In that way yes, but her case holders have to agree to let Othram preform testing on her.

Is there any chance for genetic genealogy for Castleberry Kate? 1329UFAZ.

According to Doe network her DNA is insufficient for DNA profiling. But going by her Websleuths thread, it seems the last time DNA testing was attempted was 2016 and DNA extraction techniques have improved significantly since then. I have thought about her case multiple times a week for over a year now. I would love for her to not only get identified but also for her killers to be caught whilst there is still a good chance they would be alive.

If there is DNA, there is always a chance! Anyone can submit case suggestions to solve@othram.com and we do the best we can to reach out to as many cases as we can.
