Reply 1-10-2010 I pulled our case report, and I have a question for you regarding this case. I was able to identify (in 2006) a decedent who was recovered in 1982. His name was Romeo Melendez. When I spoke to his wife she asked if we had recovered her son. Do you happen to know if there might be a relation? I will look back through the 1982 case now and see if there is a mention of the name. If so, I believe UNT should have DNA for both and I can request a comparison.

Holy smokes Ell! Can you imagine that poor woman! That sure sounds like this could be her son. |

I was just reviewing the 89 case file, and I feel comfortable eliminating this as a match because: 1) DNA for our decedent is in the CODIS database and did not result in a match, and 2) there was soft tissue adherent to the remains of our decedent at recovery in 1989-seven years after the MP went missing. It would highly unusual to find any soft tissue at all after 7 years of exposure. Thanks again Jason |
