A gracious response from LE Nevada Department of Public Safety. They are

aware of this PM and have not been able thus far to prove or disprove the match.

Yeah I sent that in the same day the missing person went up on Doe... I dont know what the hold up is. I wouldnt have considered this a standstill case but I think we have a family member who is a member here. It is a really stong possible match though and I dont know what is taking so long. I Just emailed Nevada again to ask..

Anne,



Unfortunately, no identifiers were obtained and submitted by the original missing person investigators for Valerie Larkin’s case. We would have been able to confirm or rule out a match between these two cases years ago had dental charts or X-rays been obtained. By now, any medical records would have been destroyed by the medical or dental provider. No fingerprints were ever obtained, either – although no prints are available for the Jane Doe.



Just recently a detective at the Colorado River Substation has contacted a family member and will be obtaining a reference DNA sample. Hopefully, the DNA will develop both STR and mtDNA, as mitochondrial DNA (passed down from the mother) is all that was able to be developed from the unidentified female.



It takes about four months for DOJ to develop a profile. We should know something soon.
