That’s my question: How could they verify a DNA match so quickly?
Duh...like the guy doesnt have 6 doubles. You need the footprint from the birth certificate!! :-)
They didn’t. The story’s a convoluted mess. His sister died at Mass. Gen. The FBI obtained samples from the body and developed a sequence. That sequence is what’ll be used for the confirmatory tests.
On scene, they apparently managed to do some sort of testing, either one of the more basic matches, or the carrier had some of the newest equipment. The best reported time I could find from that new gear is four hours. The test was then matched with the Mass Gen sequence.
The fact that they’re bringing samples back for a full profile would seem to me to indicate that they did something less than that on scene. Those results should take a while.
