Skeletal Remains Found In Liberty County

DNA COLLECTION Approximately 30 days after receiving a missing persons report on someone deemed “high risk”, the law enforcement agency must request a DNA sample from the person's family. High risk includes persons (1) believed to be abducted, (2) missing under suspicious circumstances, or (3) missing for more than 30 days and believed to be in danger (Tex. Code Ann. § 63.051 et. seq.). The agency must submit the DNA sample, along with a missing persons report, to the statewide DNA data center for missing persons (Tex. Code Ann. § 63.060). The data center is established by law and housed at the University of Texas Health Science Center. Its sole purpose is to identify the remains of high-risk missing persons (Tex. Code Ann. § 63.052). Once the center receives a sample, it must enter it into the database and cross-reference it against unidentified human remains (Tex. Code Ann. § 63.054)

Any Volunteers?

I am in the process of securing permission to search an area that has bugged me since late 2002 and 2003 . It is not far from where the body of Laura Smither was found. IN that time I found a at least one bra and a couple panties in the trees. I looked out there last year and found it to be overgrown with thorny bushes and there were chiggers and mosquitoes. I would like to find a volunteer to also bring their cadaver dog as well.  This spot is near BW8 South near the Gulf Freeway here in Houston. Its not a very large area so no ATV's are needed, just boots on the ground. Machetes and shovels can be helpful. The bushes with thorns are about three feet high in spots and we have to get through that to get to the spot I was talking about.  Its good exercise and there is no telling what might be found. I would appreciate any help with this. 

If you want to help. Please email me at researchtexas@comcast.net  Send me you name and phone number.

Thanks,

Jim
