Identified! SC - Jason Patrick Callahan, Myrtle Beach, missing since 1995

I think even if the public isn't notified, we will be able to put the pieces together if both of their profiles are taken offline in the same timeframe.

I certainly hope they would inform the public, as many people have invested many hours into identifying Grateful Doe. But I understand if they want to keep it private as well.

You are correct. Once the profiles go offline, it's out there.

Is tomorrow a long weekend? If so then I assume that tuesday would be the earliest we will hear anything.

I think most people had Friday off. I assume tomorrow, July 6, is a normal business day.

Why is this unfortunate? Grateful Doe would have his name back, and Jason's mother would have her son back. This would be a WS twofer!

I spoke to the daughter of a missing woman; her DNA was processed in 15 weeks, now it's on to comparison of a KY Jane Doe. What I think may be happening is they made a new department to do comparisons to make things not take as long because UNT hold Jason & GDF's DNA. Thankfully Carl had it saved - see below

The tests are complete so we are just waiting on them to compare the DNA to Kentucky Doe so please say a prayer for our family.

Why is this taking so long? This is really the first case I've ever followed. This isn't normal right?

I just posted in another thread that I think it's taking so long because so many people have found NamUs to add their loved ones. This year alone has had more MP/UP matches then any I can remember! They're backed up due to it in my opinion. It used to take 2 months; then back when Tammy's DNA was sent 9/29 it took 4 months. Todd Matthews had told me in January that some of his were taking 6 months. We're just going to have to be patient

IIRC, at one time it was believed that Grateful Doe was a minor, and NCMEC had his info on their site. Could some of the holdup be due to that? Takin my cough syrup, antibiotics, and going back to sleep.......

It is very odd to read about him described as a boy, I've always thought of GD as a young man.

Could the delay be because JC's sister also gave some DNA recently?

 

[AmyPond]

I just discovered this case. Is there any update about whether or not Jason C. is Grateful Doe?

 

[kimlo]

No not yet, still waiting. Hopefully it shouldnt be too long.

 

[Cubby]

It's way past time to have results on the dna test. I wonder what the hold up is.

Anxiously waiting.... Nothing has been updated on either Namus page.
