DNA kits may assist searches for missing people

Families of adults who have been missing for years will get another tool to help in their searches when Youth Educated in Safety gives them DNA kits.

YES founder Jay Breyer said the kits will use hair samples and buccal swabs from family members to put into a nationwide system, hoping to match DNA from victims in potter's cemeteries and morgues.

Still No Sign of Missing Woman

Today marks one week since 21-year-old Stephanie Eldredge disappeared, and police say they are not any closer to solving the case. Detectives have received some tips, but have not gotten substantial information on the mother of three's whereabouts.

On Friday, a vast area south of Idaho Falls was searched by Bonneville County Search and Rescue, but no leads were found. A helicopter flew over the region, but did not find anything. The search was later called off, because the person who called in the tip gave a general area and wasn't specific.
