McMullin is a Vidocq member, as is Jennifer Moore, CEO of Innovative Forensic Investigations in Virginia and a DNA genealogy expert, who was in town for the training. Shortly after McMullin got the Bode report, the Vidocq Society, a members-only crime solving club in Philadelphia, held a training on deviant sex killers. Last month, Bode identified three DNA matches, but they were distant relatives and all lived abroad, two in the United Kingdom and one in Italy. With the success in the Todd case, Bensalem authorized its private forensic testing lab, Bode Technology, to work on a genealogical profile for the Clubhouse Diner Doe case, McMullin said. Her death has been labeled as suspicious, though the cause and manner remains undetermined. The next big development happened after Bensalem pursued advanced genetic testing and profiling technology for the 1988 Doe case and uploaded the results into GEDMatch and , public websites built for genealogy research that uses data files from different DNA testing companies.Įarlier this year, Bensalem announced Publicker Jane Doe was identified as Lisa Todd, a 17-year-old pregnant Philadelphia girl who disappeared in October 1985. McMullin included bones from the Clubhouse Jane Doe case. The DNA profile would be uploaded it into CODIS, the national computerized DNA indexing system used by law enforcement. The Clubhouse Jane Doe bust was eventually dismantled and Bensalem police stored her remains in its evidence facility.Ī few years later Bensalem received a grant as part of a new federal DNA Initiative program to extract genetic material from the bones of the 1988 Jane Doe case.
