The Detective’s DNA Test Results Came Back For Me, and…

By

     The Detective let me know on Tuesday July 18, 2023, I am not this child. I think I can safely say both the Detective and I are discouraged. I have been depressed since then. I was hoping for closure and he was hoping the child was alive and not dead. Please forgive me, I know this is not nice to say, so I hope everyone will forgive me especially God, but, the jerk who kidnapped her claimed to have killed her and refused to disclose her whereabouts before he died.

     I am now looking at the next child, and the Detective assigned to the case never called me back. So, I called this week and got some woman in the “Detective Department” who was amused and mocking me. She put me on hold because she had another call, but before she put me on hold, she told me that the case was too old and they only work on cases that are no more than two years old! May God have mercy on any children in that jurisdiction who went missing in 2021 and before if they are only doing 2023 and 2022 cases! I got the hint when she didn’t come back and I hung up.

The family has a website on the missing child, along with a contact page. So I contacted the family and asked them to please have the Detective for the case contact me, and the trouble I was having getting them to return my calls. The family emailed me back suggesting Ancestry DNA or another site. They didn’t say it, but I read into that the jurisdiction the child disappeared in was not going to investigate her disappearance, and Ancestry or another site was my only option for human help.

     I found out this afternoon, Ancestry DNA offers a package for $99 that is only the kit and no membership. So, as soon as I get more money the beginning of August 2023, I’ll order a kit from Ancestry DNA. I also was wondering if I should just do both Ancestry DNA and 23 & Me at the same time, so, I looked on their website also. If I read it right, their kit without the membership is over $100. So, I think I’ll do just Ancestry DNA in August 2023. Ancestry DNA says it takes 6 to 8 weeks unless they get hit with a lot of kits. Personally, I don’t mind the wait because I don’t want short cuts taken. This is what happened with Family Tree DNA. Even the Detective was surprised they didn’t have what was needed to make a match which is why he had to get two samples from me. The Detective got the samples in February 2023 and the results just came back Monday July 17, 2023: five months! So, this is important and takes time. I do not want short cuts!

     So far, the “window banger” hasn’t been back. So, I am hoping the police finally got the hint and did something about this disturbed individual.

Three last things: 

  • Hug your children because you never know when they will disappear or end up dead.
  • Tell your children you love them because something bad may happen to them and they will never have the opportunity to hear it from you ever again.
  • Don’t take your child/children for granted because there are plenty of children that have proven that they are here one minute and gone the next, never to return alive.

The Detective came this morning!

Thursday February 23, 2023 @ 6:24 PM

I feel excitement and relief that after thirteen years of searching for the truth, it may only be a matter of a few months till I know who I am. Yet, I also feel overwhelming depleting debilitating exhaustion. It may soon be over…

That is hard to fathom with everything I have been through my whole life along with these last thirteen years of searching.

He took two samples just incase the first sample had something wrong with it. It will take many weeks for the samples to be tested before the results can go to UNTCHI and be entered into the CODIS. They apparently do the testing differently from the genealogy testing sites. I told him I did not mind how long it was because I want it done right. I don’t want no shortcuts nor “Wam-Bam-Bing-Bang job”.

Update About the Case

By

     

I see Word Press has its dates messed up. At this very moment, where I am, it is Monday February 13, 2023, at 10:03 PM. Word Press, please fix your computer’s clock!

This will be a short update. I am excited and feeling hopeful. I received a phone call this morning from the Detective and he said he spoke with the company I did a DNA test with about 3 1/2 to 4 years ago. The test they do is not on the level of the type of DNA test that is necessary to match to family members. So, he told me that he would need to schedule an appointment to drive to me to get a cheek swab and turn it into the Texas lab to upload to CODIS. In another word, UNTCHI. Yea, that one. The great thing about this is even if I am not this baby, my DNA will be in CODIS so that there can be “a hit” for another missing child case.

I am tired. I have been at this since 2009… thirteen years and around three months. I want closure. I want to know who my family is. I want to know my heritage. I want to know my genealogy. I want to know my family’s medical history. I want to know my real name. I want to know my real age. I want to know what happened to separate us. I want to know if I have siblings. I want to know if I have nieces and nephews. I want to know about each of my family member’s likes, dislikes, peculiarities, and everything. I want to know when is my Birthday? I want to know what is my family’s religious beliefs? I want to go to the House of God as a civilized loving family in our right mind. I want to hear about all the family members who have passed away since my abduction. I want to be able to sit down at the table and have a meal together without cursing, screaming, and hateful violent behavior. I want to have kind, loving, civilized, and reasonably intelligent conversations and we all are in our right minds. I want to celebrate the holidays with my family. I want to be able to call my real mom “Mom” and my real dad “Dad, and have them cry tears of joy that God allowed them to hear their missing child say that to them before they die. I want to know that my family NEVER gave up hope for my return. I want to know my family loves me and NEVER wished for my death. 

 Yes, I agree. I do want a lot because I and my family were denied a whole lifetime together to do these things together. Unlike you, I and my family do not have the luxury of a lifetime. IF my parents are still alive, if they had me when they were twenty-five years old, they are in their eighties now. Time is limited for us. So, I do not want any more time taken from us. I want to do as much as can be done in the short time we have together.

THAT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK AND EXPECT!

Forgettable People…

A few minutes ago, I was reading a number of sites on Word Press dealing with Human Trafficking and Missing Persons, and was horrified with how ignorant people are. I am not typing this to be nasty nor disrespectful, but I am floored with the number of people who post articles on a subject they know nothing about but act like they are a specialist on the subject!

WHEN HAVE ANY ONE OF YOU “SPECIALISTS” worn my shoes?

WHEN HAVE ANY ONE OF YOU “SPECIALISTS” worn the shoes of a kidnap victim?

WHEN HAVE ANY ONE OF YOU “SPECIALISTS” worn the shoes of a victim who is being repeatedly beaten and raped for profit?

WHEN HAVE ANY ONE OF YOU “SPECIALISTS” experienced being told that your Child’ naked body was found in a ditch and their eyeballs are missing because that is the first thing the carnivores go after?

WHEN HAVE ANY ONE OF YOU “SPECIALISTS” experienced living in a family for years or decades and then finding out that you are a kidnap victim and belong to what is now a family of strangers who can never be fully reunited due to the bond was permanently broken and destroyed years/decades earlier?

WHEN HAVE ANY OF YOU “SPECIALISTS” worn the shoes of a human trafficking or other kidnapping victim who after years or decades was told they are too old or obsolete and are being replaced by another victim?

WHEN HAVE ANY ONE OF YOU “SPECIALISTS” worn the shoes of a victim who tried to get help from the:

  • FBI
  • National Center For Missing and Exploited Children
  • Falls Church City Sheriff and an Administrative Assistant
  • Prince William County Police Department
  • UNT Center For Human Identification
  • NAMUS
  •  and many others

but found every single one of them ignored, disregarded, were rude, and even wrote you off as a “mental case”, OR NOT THEIR PROBLEM?

WHEN HAVE ANY OF YOU “SPECIALISTS” worn the shoes of a human trafficking/ kidnap victim who suffers from Stockholm Syndrome? 

You know how you “SPECIALISTS” can help?

  • STOP PLAYING “SPECIALIST”. THERE ARE OTHER, BETTER WAYS OF GETTING ATTENTION THAN TRYING TO EXPLOIT US FOR AN EGO BOOSTER!
  • BE COMPASSIONATE BY THINKING HOW YOU WOULD FEEL IF IT WERE YOU OR YOUR KID. STOP SAYING IT’S NOT YOUR CONCERN SINCE IT’S NOT YOUR KID NOR YOU SO WHY SHOULD YOU CARE, OR IT’S A PRIVATE FAMILY MATTER AND DOESN’T CONCERN YOU, OR YOU CAN’T GET INVOLVED. THIS IS WHY THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE PEOPLE TURNED A BLIND EYE AND IT’S A MAJOR EPIDEMIC NOW. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF EVERY DECENT PERSON WOULD STOP TURNING A BLIND EYE AND WOULD DO THEIR CIVIC DUTY OF SAYING SOMETHING AND FORCING ALL THE POLITICIANS TO END THIS EPIDEMIC, HUMAN TRAFFICKING/MISSING PERSONS COULD BE WIPED OUT OR MADE SO RARE AN OCURRENCE, AND IT WOULD SAVE THE TAXPAYER MILLIONS UPON BILLIONS OF $ THAT WOULD BE REDUCED.
  • LOOK ON CHARLIE PROJECT FOR THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE MISSING IN YOUR STATE AND DEMAND ALL YOUR STATES ELECTED LEADERS FIND THEM. DON’T BELIEVE THEM IF THEY TELL YOU THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T DONE IT YET, SO THEY WILL NOT DO IT NOW NOR AFTER THE ELECTION! THEY WILL ALSO NOT DO IT WHEN THEY WERE FRIENDS OF A CERTAIN CHILD MOLESTER/HUMAN TRAFFICKER WHO WAS ALSO FRIENDS WITH A CERTAIN PRINCE IN ENGLAND!
  • DEMAND YOUR WALMART STOP PLACING THEIR JUNK IN FRONT OF THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN’S BULLETIN BOARD WHICH COVERS THE MISSING CHILDREN POSTERS, OR IF THEY LEAVE THE POSTERS UNCOVERED YOU STILL CAN’T READ THEM BECAUSE OF ALL THE JUNK. YOU ARE TOO FAR TO BE ABLE TO READ THE SMALL PRINT.
  • CONSIDER NOT DONATING TO THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN. THEY DO NOT DO ANYTHING FOR FINDING MISSING CHILDREN. THEY ARE ONLY A CLEARING HOUSE, AND THE BILLIONS OF $ THEY GET EVERY YEAR IS NOT NECESSARY WHEN THE ONLY THING THEY DO IS POST INFORMATION ON A WEB SITE. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MISSING CHILDREN THEY WILL NOT POST ON THEIR SITE DUE TO THE 1984 CUTOFF DATE UNLESS THERE IS A LEGAL FIGHT. AS I SAID, THEY ARE ONLY A CLEARING HOUSE WHICH POSTS INFORMATION ONLY AND NOTHING MORE. RUNNING THAT WEBSITE DOES NOT REQUIRE ALL THAT MONEY. THE MONEY IS BEING SQUANDERED ON FUNDRAISING DINNERS AND TREATING MISSING CHILDREN WHO WERE FOUND DECADES LATER AS “HUNGER GAME” VICTORS AND GIVING THEM TROPHIES FOR SURVIVING! DON’T FEED INTO IT!

 

Sorry For Being Gone For So Long…

By

I guess I did lose track of time, or, with everything going on, it’s easy to get so consumed by all the nonsense.

Everyday is now an explosion or hostile action from them both. I risked an assault from them both yesterday by sweeping the kitchen floor and vacuuming while they were both out of the house. They don’t want the house cleaned. So far, they haven’t noticed the floor is missing filth. Maybe this evening when I get in, I’ll get slapped by her or some object thrown at me while being pummeled with screams of profanity and insults. Maybe he’ll literally spit in my face again. Oh yes! He spits and feels no remorse for it.

Two days ago, he came at me stark naked as a jay bird screaming obscenities and threats of having me arrested. The reason? While they were both out of the house,  I washed the dogs water dish that was in their bedroom of the slime that was plastered on it and replaced the filthy slimy dead bug infested water with fresh clean water.  They don’t want her to have fresh clean water in a clean bowl, which I believe is why she is sick. She has terrible diarrhea every day now and is rarely eating. I have asked them on numerous occasions if I could have her water dish so I could clean it and refill it with fresh water and they always respond with an angry “NO!” followed by profanity and insults. They are certainly free to clean her water dish themselves and refill the dish with fresh clean water, but they never do. So, the dog is now sick.

They don’t want the house cleaned which is not unusual. Over the years, they have refused to let me clean the house, then they go to the neighbors and tell them that I am a “lazy fat b*%@ch who sits on her fat A%# all day long and does nothing!!!!!!!!!” along with screaming the same lies to me. Then, when the house gets to the point of beyond running down the street screaming like the famous painting “The Scream” by Edvard Munch, she’ll tell me to clean the house and I have only 8 hours on one (1) day to clean it which leaves me bedridden for at least two days. It cannot be done even with an able-bodied house cleaning crew. The last time she pulled this stunt, I told her the truth that cleaning her house is a daily effort and cannot be done one time per week. She did not like what I said, but it is the truth. Unless you clean the house EVERY DAY, you’re setting yourself up for injury.

When I cleaned the downstairs bathroom, he would immediately go into the bathroom and intentionally urinate all over the bathroom, everywhere. Then, he would take fecal matter, whether his or the dogs and smear it all over the toilet, walls, wherever. I would go in and clean that mess up and as soon as I was finished, he would go back in and repeat it. This would continue until he ran out of fecal matter. This is not a matter of insanity because he is fully aware of what he does. He laughs and gloats about all the times he does this. So, the bathroom hasn’t been cleaned by me for some time now and because of there being no joy for him to undo my cleaning, he has now chosen to take up urinating in a plastic cottage cheese container in their den/library when he sees me. I go into the kitchen because I do not want to see this. My female abductor, of course, blames me for his ruining her oriental rugs and Brazilian Tigerwood floors with his urinating in the library.

With everything going on I’ve always had the comfort that at least my contact in Pennsylvania was protecting this child. It always gave me consolation that even though all earthly hell was and is breaking loose around me, at least she is protected. Even when I did not know they had gone up to Pennsylvania, they would come back shaking and I would find out they were up there when I saw the “Blue Goose” pie boxes. I would figure out Pennsylvania was on top of the situation even though I didn’t know and therefore could not warn them of my abductors planned trips. This gave me peace that at least this child is protected. So, imagine my sheer terror when I discovered looking on the internet for something else that my contact retired… 3 and 1/2 years ago! I thought I was going to die of a heart attack! I honestly believed I was going to have a heart attack.

I would send emails only when I knew of a planned trip and never requested nor expected contact, because, why should I? I respect that my contact and his officers have a great many responsibilities and I am not going to waste their time with unnecessary calls and other forms of unnecessary contact. I was and still am so grateful, appreciative, and thankful that they were and still are protecting this child. I admit there were times when I worried about “what if he retires? What am I going to do? Will the new contact be receptive, or will he be a cop who subscribes to the Virginia Way Philosophy ( wait until she’s missing and dead in a ditch)”. I guess I had the normal human response of ” I shouldn’t worry because what will probably happen is she will grow up, be married with her second child on the way before he retires.”

HAH! Boy did I deceive myself!

So, now I am stressing about what to do.

 

 

NamUs Contacts by Region

By

I HATE WHEN I AM RIGHT!

I can think of a number of things I could be doing right now instead of stressing and spending my days and nights wondering:

Who I am?

Who are my parents?

Do I have any brothers and sisters?

Do my parents who are quite old by now have other children who look out for them and help them?

Are my parents even alive, or, did they go to their grave in tears believing I am dead?

Did my parents spend every waking hour and every minute of every night crying and going crazy over thoughts of:

If I am dead in a ditch with the vultures picking and eating my eyeballs before they go for the rest of me?

Am I being repeatedly raped?

Am I being beaten to death?

Am I loved?

Am I being well cared for?

I did not wake up one day and say: “Hey, I think I’ll pretend to be missing so I can be a pain in UNTCHI’ tail, NOR did I wake up one morning as a baby and waited for mom to change my dirty diaper, feed and burp me before I jumped out of the crib and ran away!

Yet this nation, with all it’s money and resources of professionals who are skilled and entrusted in solving and returning missing people have nothing better to do than to waste taxpayers dollars! They want the money but they don’t want to provide the service! Another words: scam the system!

After my last posting, a few hours ago, I went to get a bite to eat. While I ate, that email from UNTCHI was nagging me. So, I came back and got on NamUs which, along with NIJ is a part of DOJ (Department of Justice). Anyways, I clicked on “NamUs Contacts by Region” and imagine my surprise to see that the contacts work for UNTHSC which is UNTCHI. NamUs is still advertising free DNA tests!

The very same research hospital that is throwing a temper tantrum over losing the NIJ grant is also the same people on NamUs (which is part of DOJ) who are advertising that they do free DNA tests!

GO ON! CHECK IT OUT! AS OF 5:00 pm TODAY TUESDAY AUGUST 1, 2017 UNTCHI AND UNTHSC ARE THE SAME RESEARCH HOSPITAL AND NAMUS IS ADVERTISING THEY DO FREE DNA TESTING!

I am posting the contacts for other families to call who I am certain are getting the run around as much as I am:

There is NO reason for all this nonsense from UNTCHI, nor from any non-profit or for profit who is awarded a grant!

I know! I am just wasting time, energy, and Word Press space because who really cares? Think about it…

The ones who can do something about solving all these cases aren’t doing it. They tie us all up and hold us all hostage in “Red Tape” which lasts for years, decades, and longer which makes the special interests happy because the way they see it:

job security from a constant flow of never ending money!

I HATE WHEN I AM RIGHT!!!!!

I Must Be Living In the Twilight Zone (or maybe a paradox existence, or perhaps it’s a rock I’m living under)!

By

I checked my email today that I have specifically for my abduction issue, and for contacting my Pennsylvania contact when I know my abductors are heading up there. I don’t check my email every day, and I have to be honest, sometimes I don’t get to it for a month or two, or three. Why? Who’s going to contact me? I guess I’ve come to the point where I feel hopeless… I realize there is NO qualified “missing persons” official anywhere on this planet that gives a rat’s tail about me, and instead prefers if I stay missing because, well, it’s called “job security”.

The missing persons industry is a multi-trillion dollar industry where there is much money to be made in government grants but NO oversight NOR attempt to force all these different charities, for profit (but they claim are non-profit status) research hospitals, and other for profit entities to use the money for the grants purposes and NOT pocket the money. To put it simply: someone’s misery is someone’s profit! I am more profitable to them if I stay missing.

I’ll give you an excellent example:

I was quite pleasantly shocked to see that UNTCHI actually emailed me back! I thought maybe there is some hope, until I read the email. It was sent Tuesday June 27, 2017 at 11:41 am by a Linda LaRose, MT (ASCP) Quality Manager for UNT Center for Human Identification.

Dear (I am leaving this blank on this site),

Your email was forwarded to me regarding “DNA testing alternatives”. I apologize for the frustration you are feeling. Unfortunately, at this time we are limiting the number of samples accepted for testing. NIJ is diligently working with us to resolve this issue.

In order for you to submit a sample for a missing person you must contact your local law enforcement agency. All samples submitted for missing persons cases must be collected by law enforcement with a signed consent by the donor and appropriate chain of custody. Once you submit a sample through your local law enforcement agency they will select a laboratory to perform the testing. The ultimate goal of the UNT Center for Human Identification is to develop DNA profiles for upload into the national CODIS database so that the DNA profiles can be searched at a national level in an effort to identify the missing. Private labs do not have access to CODIS.

You stated you had contacted us in the past and did not receive a response. I am sorry no one responded. We realize that having a missing loved one is very stressful. I assume from your email that you have been in contact with a NamUs Regional System Administrator. Can you please tell me who you spoke with? I would like to follow up on your case and hopefully provide you with assistance. Thank you for contacting us.

I don’t even know where to even begin with this email! Please, just bear with me.

  1. “Unfortu

1)”Unfortunately, at this time we are limiting the number of samples accepted for testing. NIJ is diligently working with us to resolve this issue.”

UNTCHI lost the contract from NIJ for the 2017-2018 year. Whenever NIJ’s fiscal year ends is when the 2016-2017 grant ends with UNTCHI. So, if the fiscal year ends and begins either in June or July, UNTCHI does not have a legal leg to stand on to reject samples just because they’re angry that they didn’t get a blank check for another year from NIJ. Also, there seems to be some miscommunication because UNTCHI claims they lost the contract and are therefore refusing to process DNA tests outside of Texas which is illegal when it comes to that grants rules stating that all DNA all over the United States of America must be processed using that taxpayer grant money, but then I get on the NamUs site and they are claiming that UNTCHI has the grant to do these DNA tests… nobody seems to know what is going on and missing persons and their families are being left to hang out to dry and all these different sources who are responsible for solving the missing persons problem do not seem to think there is anything wrong with the wonton disrespectful, noncompassionate, disorganized practice/policies that they are carrying on with peoples lives. They just don’t care!

2)”In order for you to submit a sample for a missing person you must contact your local law enforcement agency. All samples submitted for missing persons cases must be collected by law enforcement with a signed consent by the donor and appropriate chain of custody”.

Well! I’m screwed because Prince William County Police; Falls Church City Sheriffs Office (along with the Falls Church City Mayors/Council Members Office); District of Columbia Vital Statistics, Courts and Social Services (to find out if I was adopted. This was back in 2009-2010), then after determining I was not adopted I called the social worker about matching my finger prints to my supposed birth records, she transferred me to someone else in 2010…the person I was transferred to doesn’t even answer the phone nor returns messages!

WOW! So many more… I have to go back and look at all my records to refresh my memory of all the contacts I have made that fell on deaf ears!!!!! To put it clearly, the police are NOT going to do this!

3)”Once you submit a sample through your local law enforcement agency they will select a laboratory to perform the testing. The ultimate goal of the UNT Center for Human Identification is to develop DNA profiles for upload into the national CODIS database so that the DNA profiles can be searched at a national level in an effort to identify the missing. Private labs do not have access to CODIS.”

This defeats the purpose and is a waste of money for me if by some miracle the cops decide to take a DNA sample and send it to a lab that has NO access to CODIS. For this woman to even tell me to do this DNA test knowing full well that the results would NEVER be processed because the lab does NOT have the access to the technology…

I find this quite vulgar that this woman who is suppose to be a professional and is working for a research hospital that is charged by the United States of American Government to identify the missing would send me on a wild goose chase!!!!!!!

4)”You stated you had contacted us in the past and did not receive a response. I am sorry no one responded. We realize that having a missing loved one is very stressful.”

LADY, IT’S JUST AS STRESSFUL BEING THE PERSON WHO IS MISSING!!!!! Ms. LaRose, I am going to show you grace at least for this blooper. Afterall, how many missing persons contact you by email asking you to do a DNA test on them because they are hoping their parents maybe entered their own DNA into YOUR CODIS System hoping to find THEIR MISSING DAUGHTER. I am probably the first ALIVE missing person who has contacted you. Every other missing person you have dealt with is deceased and laying in an unmarked grave or a morgue somewhere in this country. Also, I doubt your sincerety when your establishment didn’t return my email AND you have already tried to send me on a wild goose chase because your research hospital isn’t able to get another blank check and you can’t take it out on NIJ so you punish the very people you are suppose to help by turning your back on thousands of families and their deceased loved ones because they don’t live in Texas!

5)”I assume from your email that you have been in contact with a NamUs Regional System Administrator. Can you please tell me who you spoke with? I would like to follow up on your case and hopefully provide you with assistance. Thank you for contacting us.”

Amazing! Simply amazing! A fishing expedition! Ms. LaRose, I realize you are not at the very tippy top of the chain. Another words, your not the “head honcho”. You’re just the person who was assigned this onerous task of sweeping this latest scandal of many scandals that resulted in UNTCHI losing the grant under the table. Tell your greedy “head honcho” that is sweating over the worry that my case is the final nail in UNTCHI’ coffin of any hope in getting all that nice grant money for him/her/them to pocket, can get on the computer and type in NamUs. If the “head honcho” is too lazy to let his/her/their fingers do the walking, then tell him/her/them to have their secretary do it! Furthermore, you have already told me in your email that UNTCHI will not help me unless I am in Texas. So please Ms. LaRose, stop talking out of both sides of your mouth! The only “following up” your “head honcho” wants to do is damage control and I am NOT going to help you! DO YOUR JOBS AND STOP SWINDLING THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What?! Do you find me brazen by saying this?!

Well, Ms. LaRose, I don’t think much of UNTCHI nor it’s staff either!

 

 

 

 

 

Sandbox Bickering!

As you all know, I have been looking to find my real family, who I am, for many years now… with no success. I have looked for help from law enforcement, pro bono attorneys and pro bono private detectives (which I have yet to find any pro bono attorney/P.I. who truly does do pro bono and not just falsely advertises “pro bono” simply as a way to impress people and to get an award and a pat on the back for being a “great guy or gal”).

Another place I have looked to is NamUs. I got this wild idea a few years back. Really, it was a long shot idea, one that I was willing to take. NamUs has partnered up with UNT Health Science Center/UNT Center for Human Identification to identify remains with the DNA of families who voluntarily gave their DNA hoping that their DNA would match a remain and they would have closure. Don’t get me wrong, there is no family member who says “I hope my loved one is dead!” They hope that their DNA does not match a body at some coroners office or “unknown” grave in a cemetery. They do this to rule out the 40 thousand+ sets of remains that no human has a clue as to who they are.

My “wild long shot idea” was that if my real parents entered their DNA in the national database, if I could get NamUs to test my DNA through their partner UNT Health Science Center/UNT Center for Human Identification, I may be able to find my real family.

Well, the first time I contacted UNT Health Science Center/ UNT Center for Human Identification was by email on Tuesday April 14, 2015 and I sent the email to a Dr. Eisenberg who was the contact person. 

It is now Wednesday June 21, 2017 and I have yet to hear from Dr. Eisenberg.

The second time I contacted them was yesterday, and so far, no response.

Yesterday, before I emailed them, I looked on NamUs and UNT Health Science Center/UNT Center for Human Identification’ websites. Yesterday, NamUs was advertising UNTHSC/UNTCFHI as being the lab that does the testing. Yesterday, UNTHSC/UNTCFHI had a letter posted with the date of February 26, 2017. I printed the letter off and with your patience, I would like to retype it here.

*******************************************************************************************

February 26, 2017

Dear Valued Customer,

We were recently notified by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) that the grant Using DNA Technology to Identify the Missing would not be offered in 2017 for fiscal year 2018. The UNT Center for Human Identification (UNTCHI) has been a recipient of this award since 2004 and because of this funding has been able to process thousands of cases for agencies across the United States. Unfortunately without these funds from NIJ, UNTCHI will not be able to offer DNA testing and anthropology services to agencies outside the state of Texas.

We currently are processing all samples in our custody with funding from our current NIJ award; however, due to the limited amount of remaining funds, effective February 26, 2017 UNTCHI no longer will be able to accept new submissions. Agencies will be contacted regarding return of submissions received postmarked on or after the date of this letter.

We sincerely regret this inconvenience and are working with NIJ and other avenues towards a resolution. If funding becomes available we will notify your agency immediately that we are resuming services at no cost. If interested, we will be developing a fee-for-service strategy to continue to provide DNA testing and anthropology services to your agency.

Please do not hesitate to contact the laboratory at 1-800-763-3147 if you would like additional information. We hope to resolve the funding issue and to work with you in the future. Thank you for your support these past years.

Best Regards,

Now, I have several issues with this letter:

  1. NamUs as of Tuesday June 20, 2017 is still advertising them.
  2. UNTCHI refusing service to any one outside of Texas even though NIJ’ grant is for ALL people in ALL states and territories in the United States of America.
  3. My suspicion that UNTCHI’ definition of “fiscal year” is not NIJ’ definition of “fiscal year” and therefore are not using the grant money for what NIJ’ grant expects and for how long.
  4. UNTCHI’ lack of compassion is very clear in this letter: “Dear Valued Customer”, “We sincerely regret this inconvenience”, “Best Regards”. UNTCHI seems to have forgotten a number of important rules of decency: 1) their Hippocratic oath of “first do no harm” and 2) missing and dead people are not commodities nor are we invisible, and you will not treat us as “merchandise” being pedaled by some company for “processing”: “Dear Valued Customer”?! Also, how dare you spit in our faces with “Best Regards”?!?! Whether we are dead or missing, we have no control over our situation. Our “Best Regards” are totally dependent on whether you have a backbone or not! Yea! Yea! Yea! The only thing I suspect you “regret” and consider an “inconvenience” is not being given another “blank check” from NIJ to fritter away! So, NIJ strips you of further grant money and what do you do? You retaliate like a little kid pouting in a sandbox because you didn’t get your “ice cream” and so like throwing sand, you throw us missing, dead, and the families of the missing and dead to the wolves and have the nerve to tell us “We sincerely regret this inconvenience” and “Best Regards”! You don’t deserve this grant money and should be forced to pay back every red cent you receive in grants for the last 13 years (2004-2017)
  5. UNTCHI’ proven track record they do not and will not respond to inquiries.
  6. There was estimated a number of years back about 40,000+ sets of unidentified remains. I read not too long ago that NamUs still has 40,000 + sets of unidentified remains, which leads me to the question: What has UNTCHI really been doing with the grant money for the last 13 years?
  7. I suspect the reason UNTCHI lost the grant is due to several things: 1) failure or refusal to follow through with identifying a reasonable amount of unidentified humans; 2) failure and/or refusal to respond appropriately to the families of the missing, or even the missing themselves; 3) UNTCHI’ proof (especially in this letter) of their lack of compassion and their failure to the Hippocratic oath of ” First do no harm”. 

Well, so far I do not know who will get the grant from NIJ for 2018, but, hopefully the next teaching hospital system will have a backbone so they will not only succeed but will show the dead, missing, and the families of the dead and missing the compassion, dignity, and respect they rightfully deserve,  and not just choose to “fritter” the grant money away! 

AND, will behave maturely instead of acting like a pouting child throwing sand in a sandbox because he/she didn’t get their way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Fortune Cookie Has A Sense of Humor!

By

I was going through a bunch of boxes yesterday evening and came across a fortune from a cookie I had eaten a while back. I am a person who has no faith in a fortune cookie’ prediction. I mean, all the times I have received the prediction of “you are going to meet a tall dark handsome man”, I have yet to meet him (but then, I am not looking for him). It is just a temporary curiosity to look forward to, like the Cracker Jacks prizes one looked for as a child, excited to find it and then soon forgotten for the next curiosity.

Any ways, I looked at this “fortune” and stood there in disbelief at what I was reading. I had to read it several times to make sure I wasn’t misreading or hallucinating it. I am even looking at it now to make sure it still says it incase I had dreamed it. I am going to save and laminate it.

It says:

“You have a lively family.”

NOW! If that ain’t a mouthful of prediction, I don’t know what is!
