Since they have Laci's body, why can't they take a sample from it to test????

Mitochondrial DNA is the same between mother and child,siblings,grandmother and to infinity.($2,500 a test)

I think that unless the hair has a root attached to it, they can only do the mitochondrial match test. Sharon's sample wouldn't yield a test any different than a sample from Laci's body.

I guess that's why they opened the evidence bag, to see if there was root so that they could do the nulear test, but, alas, no root.
