So I go on coast to coast.
I said, hey, we have these samples.
We're looking for hair samples.
Don't bullshit us because we'll know right away.
Send us hair samples with everything attached, and we're going to send it to a lab.
You don't have to pay the bill.
We got 125 valid samples that were not deer, antelope, bear, whatever.
She goes through the DNA analysis on it.
I think it cost us $400,000 at the end of the day.
It's a lot less expensive now.
So hair will give you mitochondrial DNA from the maternal side, but it won't give you fraternal DNA from the father's side.
That you need nuclear DNA, blood, tissue, saliva.
And we got some of those.
At the end of the day, the DNA comes back 12 to 15,000 years to the Middle East on the mother's side.
Father's side, it doesn't exist in GenBank.
352 billion base pairs of DNA does not exist.
The father's DNA does not exist.
GenBank says it's impossible.
