"Ned: Yes, the system in which Sabrina was referring to is the DNA database currently in place set up by the government to identify possible suspects by coding their DNA profile. The DNA in the Ramsey case CANNOT be run through this system because not enough DNA markers are present to make a sucessful match.
The DNA was degraded as such that only I believe 6 markers were present"
Ned- Lin Wood announced a few months ago that with recent technology thet were able to pull out 9 markers and could enter it into Codis but the BPD "NEVER" did this, he was hoping Keenan would. I called the SDPD crime lab and spoke to the supervisor. He said with 9 markers they could compare it to the CODIS banks. The Ca bank is just like doing a google search he said. They fax everything to the FBI and it takes them up to a week to get the results back. He said they are sending lots of samples in to the databanks, even convicted car jackers.
So I am assuming this was done- since it's no big deal.
I also got a lesson on "degraded" DNA-- I am sure you have too I am convinced the DNA was from some 6 year old playmate from several days before and they are never going to match it unless he commits a sex crime when he grows up!
