A California A woman was “surprised” after homicide detectives said they matched her 23andMe DNA analysis to a 1986 murder.

Jacqueline “Jackie” Vadura of Palm Springs found herself “living in her own episode of Dateline” after San Diego homicide detectives called her to say her DNA might match that of a woman brutally murdered in 1986.

“Oh my gosh guys, I literally had the most amazing 48 hours of my life,” Vadura said on Jan. 20 TikTok. “Forty-eight hours ago, I was sitting at lunch, eating a salad, going about my business, and I got a call on my phone with no caller ID, and I said, ‘That’s weird,’ but I answered it anyway. ‘

On the other end of the phone, a detective told her that her “DNA could be a possible match” to a woman who had been fatally shot in the chest and dumped off a rural road in San Diego. The woman was not considered missing.

Detectives told her she was “ground zero” in the case because her DNA was the closest match to Jane Doe’s.

“I was just amazed,” Vadura said New York Post.

Through her DNA and her mother’s DNA, San Diego detectives were able to determine that Jane Doe was related to Vadurro on her mother’s side

“Now they think I might be a member of her family because of my DNA that I uploaded to 23andMe,” Vadurro said on TikTok. “At first I thought it was a scam and I said, ‘Oh my God, they’re going to clone me, you know who wouldn’t want another me.’ But then I looked into it and they sent me their credentials and everything and I called homicide.

“They were legitimate. It was the real thing, super legit.”

Police departments do not have access to 23andMe data, but linked Vadurro through a long-lost cousin whose DNA was already in the GED Match system. In order for them to potentially match Vadurro’s case, she had to upload her 23andMe results into the system.

Detectives told her she was “ground zero” in the case because her DNA was the closest match to Jane Doe’s. “I was just amazed,” Vadura said

Detectives discovered almost immediately that Vadurro was an almost perfect match, being Italian and Mexican and having maternal ties to Jalisco, Mexico, where the victim was found.

Detectives later determined that the victim was on her mother’s side after Vadura’s mom sent her own DNA sample to police and told Vadura that the victim was her second or third cousin.

“They called me back about 30 minutes later and said, “Jackie, thank you so much. This is the biggest break we’ve had in this case all year,” Vadura said in the following video.

Vadura was eating a salad in late January when detectives called her and said she might be the victim’s partner. Detectives have yet to identify the victim or killer as they are still building her mother’s family tree

San Diego detectives invited Vadurro to Florida to meet other “weird, interesting characters” in her family, which the Californian wants to go to.

Vadurro told DailyMail.com on Friday that “there is no real progress yet” and police have yet to identify the victim as they are still “combing through my family tree”.

However, they believe the victim is related to Vadurro’s maternal great-grandfather’s family.

The number one match to the victim lives in New York, Vadurro said, and she said the man wants to buy the victim a headstone if she is identified.

She also said police do not believe the victim was a “prostitute or prostitute” as she was “very nicely dressed” in a skirt and sandals when she was found in 1986. The victim was also described as having “long brown hair, brown eyes” and was said to be “very, very beautiful”. She was also between 25 and 30 years old.

While still digging into Vaduro’s family tree, San Diego detectives have invited Vaduro to Florida to meet other “weird, interesting characters” in her family that the Californian wants to visit.

So far, police have not identified the woman or the killer in the 1986 case.
