This letter is to inform you that STR and/or mtDNA profiles have been developed for the sample(s) which were
submitted by your agency to the University of North Texas Center for Hmnan Identification (UNTCHI). The DNA
profiles for the sample(s) have been entered and uploaded into the Texas Department of Public Safety's State DNA
Index System (SDIS). The administrator of the State DNA Index System (SDIS) will then upload these profiles
into the FBI's National DNA Index System (NDIS). These results will be periodically searched against all
appropriate indexes for potential associations.
Please update your NCIC missing person/unidentified person record to include information on the DNA availability
and location. (Example: DNNY, DLO/University of North Texas Center for Human Identification, Fort Worth,
TX 1-800-763-3147). Please refer to the NCIC Operating Manual or contact your State Missing Persons
Clearinghouse for NCIC related questions.
Again, if a putative association results from index searches, the submitting agencies will be notified immediately.
If you have any other missing person questions, please feel free to contact 1ne.
