In May 2022, the body of an unidentified young girl was discovered in a dumpster in Rosedale. The police had no information about her identity or origin. However, on June 29, 2023, the girl was finally identified as Neveah Tucker, a four-year-old from Toronto.
During the intervening period, Toronto Police sought assistance from a Texas-based company called Othram Inc. CityNews conducted an interview with the company, which revealed how their advanced genetic testing technology played a crucial role in solving the mystery. Despite the initial lack of evidence, Othram Inc. was able to construct a detailed genetic profile that provided valuable information to investigators and eventually led to the positive identification of Neveah Tucker.
Othram Inc. has also played a significant part in solving other prominent cases in Ontario, such as the murder of Christine Jessop. The company’s technology surpasses the capabilities of traditional forensic labs by enabling the creation of a comprehensive genetic profile, thus assisting law enforcement agencies in piecing together vital information for their investigations.
I’ve seen where they can do some genetic testing and actually generate an image of what the missing person might look like. I wonder if that’s what this company did
