Families Hope DNA Can ID Long-Unidentified Bodies
St. Paul Minnesota has a bold new program to track down missing persons, and it is the first system of its kind in the country.
The program starts while officials at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension continue to hope they can match up the remains of hundreds of Joe and Jane Does with hundreds of missing persons cases in Minnesota.
Currently, there are almost 800 missing people and more than 250 unidentified bodies and remains.
The BCA has started sending out DNA kits to police departments across the state. They want DNA from relatives of missing people.
They're also working with local coroners and medical examiners to find out how many bodies or remains have been found and never identified.
All the data from the remains is getting loaded into state and federal databases.
The other big development in coordinating the search for missing persons is a plan to get new missing persons cases loaded into the BCA and federal crime information data bases a lot sooner than in the past.
Rasmussen hopes it will serve as a model and bring answers much sooner to the families of missing persons.
