EXCERPTED:
CALIF. LAB STILL TESTING FOUND BODIES
"The lab was analyzing cheek swabs taken from the missing woman's parents and hair from her hairbrush. Those findings will be compared with DNA from the bodies that were found. The child's body still had the umbilical cord attached.
Asked why investigators weren't using dental records, Tonkyn said the lab wasn't provided with teeth from the Contra Costa County Coroner's office. "Sometimes not a full skeleton has been found," Tonkyn said.
According to published reports, the mostly skeletal adult body was clad in maternity undergarments, without a head and missing parts of the limbs.
Laci Peterson's family members remained sequestered in Modesto on Wednesday. "There's no news, we're just waiting," stepfather Ron Grantski said. "Until they confirm there really isn't anything."

DNA Process to Identify Bodies Could Take Weeks
"Modesto police chief Roy Wasden called on the lab to make the tests a priority.
Workers confirmed that they have a tibia, a bone from the lower leg, as well as muscle tissue from the woman. They also have a femur, or thigh bone, and muscle tissue from the infant, which the coroner now classifies as a full term male fetus. The bones are important, because bone marrow can sometimes be a source of uncontaminated DNA."

Could The Laci Peterson Mystery Soon be Solved?
"The female torso that they are examining had on a nursing bra commonly worn in late pregnancy and the bones are consistent with Laci's petite frame. There is a growing sense of hope that the missing Laci Peterson case may be solved. There is a sense that this would bring relief for the department, the family and relief for the community.
If there is a positive identification, investigators in Modesto say that they plan to bring Laci's husband Scott in for more questioning. Expect for his lawyer nobody knows where Scott Peterson is right now, not even his parents."
Hopefully this is why MPD is waiting, for official word to bite SP's yap off!
