Two states we love working in.

And Florida.... Sooo many people come here to get lost, or are listed by others. So I assume there are sooo many Does found here, but not from here.
Florida is just full of attractions.

Othram's forensic laboratory has been accredited by ANAB to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards for Forensic Testing and Calibration Laboratories, for SNP testing utilizing Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS). Now you can leverage Othram's testing, which has powered more forensic genetic genealogy solves than any other method, within an accredited forensic setting.

Australia? No problem: Sandy Point John Doe is now Identified.

Amazing article about this case on ABC News (Australia) today!

A skeleton was found in water in Victoria in 2017, leading investigators down a new path of forensic discovery

Investigators used a new technique to identify 95-year-old human remains found in the water at Sandy Point in Gippsland. The forensic breakthrough has raised hopes that more cold cases could soon be solved.

Like the article says, bones submerged in salt water for ~95 years produced a DNA profile. This is the magic of what we do at Othram. We can build highly sensitive profiles from nearly any forensic input.

There is no reason that we should not apply the technique to other cases, especially violent crimes.

(Should not?)

It's a wonderful, exciting case to show the potential. It gives me enormous hope for all the cases where remains are still available to be tested.

At this point, the hurdles are not scientific. We just need folks to demand it and prioritize it. Then it will get done.
