Thank you, Shadow, for the reminder.
I truly hope when they compared her DNA to Marcia King's remains that they also compared it to other remains in CODIS.

You could turn this in to the RCMP. I would hope they've already compared these two, but Canada does things differently than we do.

I know they have Patricia's DNA. They compared it to Marcia King's. I hope they still have it, but I'm not sure. Last I knew, they didn't take a family DNA sample for a missing person unless they had a set of remains to compare it to, and didn't keep a DNA database like we do with CODIS. They were in the process of changing that years ago, but I don't know if they have. Doe network states this set of remains doesn't have any identifiers. Not sure how accurate that is.
