How did police identify the girl found in a Rosedale dumpster?

CityNews spoke with the Texas company that helped Toronto Police solve the riddle of her identity, despite having little initial evidence.

''The advanced genetic testing company, Othram Inc., explained how it constructed a detailed genetic profile that aided investigators and ultimately led them to a positive identification.

The company, which was also instrumental in helping solve other high-profile cases in Ontario, like the murder of Christine Jessop, says its technology can go far beyond the capabilities of traditional forensic labs to piece together a more fulsome genetic profile.

“We will build a DNA profile and unlike the conventional profiles that the traditional forensic lab tests produce, that’s got like 20 markers in it, we are building profiles that have hundreds of thousands of markers, so we can learn a lot of information about bio-geographical ancestry and Toronto Police Service can use these profiles,” Othram CEO Dr. David Mittelman explained in a phone interview Friday.

Once police have a detailed DNA profile, they then begin searching for matches through DNA sites where people have voluntarily submitted samples.''


“Law enforcement can upload a profile and then get matched against people that are both genetic relatives and also consenting to be matched, not everyone wants to do it, and those initial matches are what starts the investigation off.''

“No one recognizes the kid and if they don’t pop up in any databases, there’s no fingerprints. What do you do? There’s no other clues to what happened, there’s no witnesses. At that point this (advanced DNA testing) is an excellent method to make sure these cases don’t fall through the cracks and people never get identified.”

“This is the wave of the future.”

Then she would be maybe thirteen or fourteen, now. Was eleven or twelve when this Neveah probably died. Different girl.

MOO

Glad she's finally been identified, RIP little Neveah Tucker

such a sad case. Hope police figure out exactly what happened to her

I sincerely hope LE will get to the bottom of this

RIP Baby Neveah

so she wasnt reported missing. was she not in her mother's custody?

Well, I’m confused about this as well.

Was this child reported as missing? Could she have been in foster care therefore the mother didn’t know she was missing?

 

[No_Stone_Unturned]

Confused as well. Where was the mother when Neveah went missing? Who was guarding her?

No one.

Clearly she was never reported as missing. Had she been, it wouldn’t have taken all this time effort to identify her.

 

[9glenn9]

I read that each year many children in foster care aren't reported missing to LE. I wonder if that's what happened here

 

[No_Stone_Unturned]

No one.

But she must have been under the care of someone. Why has no one been arrested even for negligence.

 

[No_Stone_Unturned]

And have LE tracked her final known movements? Seen where? Wearing what? With whom? How could this child simply disappear without a word from anyone?

no arrests in this case yet? no more details about her life, her death, her family?

I know what you mean. It’s far too quiet for my liking.

Unfortunately, it can take several months to prepare a case so that charges are laid. We might not hear much more until next year.

Currently looking for updates on this case. It still gets to me after all this time.

Not finding anything

I think it's quite possible the reason no arrests have been issued is that NT did not die through foul play. I'm wondering whether her mom is in the country illegally. Maybe she came to Canada with a visitor's visa, a requirement for Jamaicans, and never left. So she had a child while in Canada and may have thought having a child born in Canada would fast track a request for landed immigrant status. So is it possible this child died of Covid? The mom couldn't take her to the hospital because she probably didn't have OHIP (provincial health plan for citizens and landed immigrants) so tried to look after her at home. But after Nevaeh died, which could have put her status in peril, she placed her in the dumpster. If there was no ill will regarding the dumping of the body, she'll probably get charged with indignity to a deceased person's body and be deported.

Is there a way to test for possible Covid after death?

They would likely see the characteristic lung damage during the autopsy. If I remember correctly, the child wasn't in the dumpster very long.

Someone needs to send a note to the Toronto Police Services, or whichever police department handled this, and ask how it's going,
