On Their Own Terms

For the DNA test, they created a GoFundMe page and people from all over the world read the story and helped the family. “We have received the results of the [nuclear] DNA test, and sadly there was NOT a match. This is very disappointing. As my mother has said, we only want to do right by my Uncle John, and if that means exploring the possibility that the U.S. government has made a mistake or that the man claiming to be my uncle is actually another lost American and doesn’t know who he is, we intend to seek the truth on our own terms,” wrote the niece on the page.
