My question as well. The PI asked for a sample of "Julie" to test. It could have been resolved quickly. No more doubt...Call me skeptical, but if my missing daughter turned up on my doorstep after 8 years, I'd want to be sure immediately. I call Anna Miss Denial.

They didn't request a DNA test on the recently discovered body because they believed they had their daughter back. And they didn't ask for tests on the girl herself for the same reason. It would be an enormous betrayal to their daughter to question whether it was her, and Anna couldn't admit that she did.

Well, I had a REAL problem with Anna not being sure if it was Julie or not because my daughter at 13 and at 21 did not look that different. Still, I think part of the confusion was due to Anna's disoriented mental state. Once I surrendered that, I was captivated. I did resist a bit, though.

I have to admit the way this was written backwards was very confusing. In the end, I was still confused by the Charlotte story. I couldn't decide who she was and who killed her. I had to read it online to help me figure it out.

The remains they would have tested the DNA against had only just been found during the course of the novel. They were in the process of requesting a test.
Nattie
There was a DNA test mentioned.
