I learned it from someone who used to work there but doesn't anymore. VA just runs it against more people. Some people are also in Codis, some aren't, there aren't consistent laws and Wisconsin isn't even required to use it.Is that correct? My understanding (if it can be called that) is that it is possible to do so for MPs and UIDs with DNA.
That’s why Virginia cases show up so often in exclusions for cases for which they don’t even seem to apply (eg, a UID from say, 1930 showing up in the exclusion list for someone who went missing in 2020) - they run their MPs against everyone with DNA in Namus.
If that’s wrong, would you point me to where I can read up on how it actually works? My handle on this process is quite tenuous, and I’d love to understand it better.
