About

The analyst could not exclude O'Keefe or his maternally related relatives as possible sources. Mitochondrial DNA is not unique to an individual and does not determine how or when the hair was deposited.

Bode Technology mitochondrial-DNA testing found the hair profile consistent with John O'Keefe's known profile; with 95% confidence, the analyst estimated that at least 99.895% of the population could be excluded as a source.
