Using DNA sequencing, the process by which genetic information of a DNA sample is obtained from remains, Intermountain Forensics, the laboratory assisting the City with DNA analysis for the Investigation, is helping create genetic genealogy profiles.

Each of those profiles are uploaded into GEDmatch and FamilyTreeDNA, two authorized databases that allow comparisons to unidentified remains. Individuals who have voluntarily shared their DNA tests with GEDmatch and/or Family Tree DNA, whether as part of this investigation or otherwise, will have these genetic genealogy profiles (and others that are produced from this investigation) compared to their own.
