apparently dna results are inconclusive

Thanks for the update. How aggravating to have waited this long for results and still not have any answers!

Tighthead · 10-20-2015, 06:25 PM

Forensic evidence may be inconclusive but all the other evidence points to it being him. Good enough for me.

agreed.

they only had mother's DNA. those tests were completed around april 2015.

apparently they need male DNA from father or brother to make it conclusive.

Y-chromosome. they are attempting to locate it.

Good call. This is like the DB Cooper case, a mystery only if you ignore all the logic.

Good to hear that this might be solved.

They just posted that he's been ID'd as Jason Callahan. I doubt they'd post it if it's not official.

It's been on WBTW News13 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and several other news outlets, so it's official. I am sad that Jason is really dead and will never be with his family again in this lifetime, but there is closure knowing that his whereabouts have been ascertained and that his death was only an accident and he's not a murder victim laying dead somewhere. Prayers and thoughts to his family during this time.

Exactly.

Someone on Facebook who makes cremation mementoes was asking for his mom's address to make her one.

Corkys-Place · 12-11-2015, 01:31 AM

Finally, after 20 years this case has now been solved. I've always thought it was crazy that no one knew who this kid was or even appeared to miss him.

Cori aka ChrisSCrush · 12-11-2015, 01:49 AM

Jason is currently trending on Facebook so someone cares!

Tighthead · 12-11-2015, 08:03 AM

I always thought the 1976 Sumter County does case would be solved first. It seems like with two people there are more potential connections to make.

For some reason I have always followed the cases together and considered them similar. It is nice to have this one closed. The fact that he wasn't reported missing shows how many obstacles there can be to resolving these cases.
