While I certainly hope no family in our county has to endure what these families are going through, you should know that as Coroner, I am have taken this opportunity to make sure we are prepared to handle these situations should I ever need to.
My office partners with NMS Laboratories, who has specialized in identifying difficult an degraded DNA samples related to missing or unidentified persons investigations for over a decade. Through my partnership with them, I am now qualified and trained to provide:

- Critically refined methods to locate and isolate the most promising samples to process, no matter how challenging.
- Compliance with the FBI's Quality Assurance Standards to ensure efficiency when missing persons cases require CODIS upload, with access to the database through NMS's partnership with NDIS lab partners.
- Rapid turnaround time with analytical testing often completed in 4 weeks; however 7-10 day expedited service available when necessary.
This is part of my continued commitment as Coroner of Bates County: to provide the best services available for every possible scenario.
