Initial kinship hypothesis updated based on EV-00146 (FBI regional genealogy). Suggest collateral expansion to Cantrell line — mother's maternal grandparents per 1940 census.
- Dr. K. PressOTHRAM2025-04-28 16:45Z
Excellent. We have confirmatory SNP overlap on the Cantrell segment. Proceeding with full haplogroup assessment. Will have Phase II results by Friday COB.
- J. WilsonSEQUENXA2025-04-29 09:11Z
EV-00149 (dental record comparison) graded A2 — confirms age range and dental pathology alignment. Forwarding to agency for collateral exclusion.
- Dr. K. PressOTHRAM2025-04-29 10:55Z
Perfect. That clinches the exclusion. Ready to move to candidacy round — Cantrell branch first, then broaden if needed.

EV-00149 (dental) graded A2. Pathology alignment excellent (severe attrition, enamel hypoplasia, single restoration matching pre-mortem dental records from collateral). Confidence in exclusion set: HIGH.
- Amanda Mendoza2025-04-29 11:03Z
Candidate weighting: Cantrell line (primary branch) = 87% likelihood given SNP segment + dental + genealogy. Secondary Cantrell collaterals = 48%. Begin reference DNA collection Phase II.
- J. Wilson2025-04-30 09:30Z
Phase I readiness check: evidence (✓), authorization (pending), collateral reference DNA (in transit). Case trending toward ID week of May 5. Briefed reviewer.
