@othram, you may not have the answer to this, but I have to ask.

Now that Tammie Liles has been ID'd as a confirmed Green River victim, where does the case of Angela Girdner (the girl Tammie was found with) stand? Is she considered a confirmed victim?

IMO, I'm certain that Ridgway did murder Angela, as it would be a very large coincidence if a girl fitting the victim description would be found next to a confirmed victim and for them both not to be victims of the same killer. I just wonder where her case stands in the eyes of officials.

Ever since I joined the community, there have been two cases I really wanted to see identified. This is one of them. There others are the Valencia Does from 1980.

Thank you so much for giving Pati her name back!

This case was funded by a budget request that Senator Bradley and her colleagues supported last year. The legislation that you are tracking goes into effect this year, as you noted, and is modeled after that budget request. It adds funding for law enforcement to use forensic genetic genealogy more broadly. We couldn't be more grateful. You can't crowdfund every case!
