I have a kind of random question. Lets say the people who the unidentified DNA belongs to die before LE matches the DNA to a person. Do coroners ever do any DNA testing other than if they are trying to ID the deceased?
I guess a better way to phrase my question is would it be possible to link someone to that unidentified DNA posthumously, without LE actively seeking that person or if the coroner needs to ID the body (i.e. If it was found abandoned/not matching missing persons descriptions)
Sorry if this is long and kind of rambly....im on my phone and it is hard to go back and edit
