    There was a TV program a week or so ago where they used familial DNA to find living relatives of a body they couldn't identify. In the USA there is an organisation called DNA Doe Project, the doe as in Jane Doe, they are a nonprofit organisation who use DNA to identify people, they might be able to help.

    Very good video, an intriguing case. You wonder why the man rang the police and why the police at Ripon? It was a clever idea by the police to not make this public at the time and wait to see if anyone would come to the site or phone up again. It’s sad that no one seemingly missed this woman or reported her missing despite her having children.
