The last I read about NY, although it’s been some time ago, that their state would not be participating in the IGG approach with the use of DNA. I wonder if that changed. Need to read up again now. Glad to hear JD is likely identified and on her way back to family.
I was wondering the same. I vaguely remember some talk about allowing IGG but I don't know the outcome. If you find any info would you mind sharing, please?
Looks like the NYS court of appeals reinstated the use of familial DNA last October (2023). This may be only temporary, not sure. We should get our priority cases in NY to Othram while we can
