There are now 2 exclusions:

 

[Magnum P.E.]

As the late Arte Johnson used to say, Veeeery Interesting. Since the Mt. Jewett Jane Doe did not have dentals or prints, the exclusions must have been made on the basis of DNA. The Mt. Jewett calvarium had DNA in CODIS, but I am hoping that they took another sample and ran modern DNA tests on it. With CODIS, we could only expect a match to a close relative and I don’t think it would be adequate to justify an exclusion of someone else.
At the very minimum, this case is being worked.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
