DO MEDICAL EXAMINERS, CORONERS AND INVESTIGATORS DO DNA TESTING ON THE DECEDENTS?
This is specific to each county; some do and some don’t. Even those that do wouldn’t necessarily realize that genealogists would have any clue how to use DNA for identification purposes. Also, most probably rely primarily or exclusively on CODIS testing rather than the Y-DNA and mtDNA tests that genealogists are more accustomed to working with. To date, we only know of one of our cases having involved DNA testing, but that could change in the future.
