Mission Impossible Assignment: to All Citzens of the United States: Can you help?

Dear fellow Americans: 
Here is your assignment if you chose to accept it:
Job:  Get some Howard Hughes, and possible mothers DNAs to compare to possible childern.
Range of difficulty: Impossible to simple. If treated with bleach or ash the sample is very hard to test.
Sources: Any genetic relative of Howard Hughes: To compare to male childern it must be a nuclear DNA test. Any genetic relative of a prospective mother.  Can be mitochondral or neclear Test (ask lab).

Suggested approaches: Best: Just ask them for a swab, inside of 
                                        mouth, most use a polyester swab. Or 
                                        better yet, if you are the relative and 
                                        you take your own DNA or go  to the
                                        lab to be swabbed or have a tech
                                        come to your house (Usually about 
                                        $50 in big cities, more with greater 
                                        travel, If you fly in a specialty 
                                        scientist from west to east coast, 
                                        it could cost $3000).


                                   Better:  Get a direct DNA sample from
                                   blood,salavia, back of licked stamp 
                                   or licked envelope flap, Hair from 
                                   comb/brush etc that still has follicles 
                                   still attached. Copious oral, vaginal 
                                   or semen secretions directly from 
                                   the source (process as below).

                                   Good:  DNA sample from a object that has
                                   been used extensively by the subject in
                                   the past, such as a hat band that has
                                   been sweated onto, a pair of old 
                                   underwear/clothes that has dried and
                                   not been washed with dried secretions 
                                   still intact (got Bill Clinton, should get 
                                   Howard). 
                
                                   Fair: Old letters with smuges, maps or 
                                   technical drawings that have  been
                                   handled by the subject and/or 
                                   sweated on extensively.

Warnings: This is NOT legal advice, if you have a doubt ask a lawyer. Check the laws concerning genetic sampling in your state before doing so. When in doubt; DON'T is the word here.  Of course if it's YOUR DNA, you may do what you like.  Taking samples directly from the subject without their permission is ILLEGAL.  Stalking and harassing a subject is ILLEGAL.  Be patient, let them come to you and use the opportune LEGAL moment.  Don't take a chance of getting yourself in trouble.  If you have reason to think the subject will refuse (Peters and Lummis family members likely will), then  it probably is not smart to even ask, just wait  and if they throw away/abandon an object that has their DNA on it (straw from drink, cigarette, hotel sheets,  spit cast onto a public area, napkin, with nasal secretions on it, etc and then retrieve it from the throw away place (trash can etc).  Handle straws with one finger on each end if possible, dry and bag as above. 

Suggestion: Carry a CLEAN plastic, latex or rubber glove in a baggie in your pocket along with a few swabs in a separate baggie (to swab secretions that you can't get in bag (spit, slavia etc: carefully air dry before putting into zip bag) . Use caution to not touch the fingers or palm of the glove when putting it on, retrieve the sample and put in the plastic bag, LEAVE THE BAG OPEN TILL THE SAMPLE DRIES.  Then seal the sample and send it to the lab.  If you don't have a glove/baggie handy pick it up by a CLEAN/DRY corner and wrap in a clean dry object (napkin/towel/etc). After drying, carefully deposit in a clean plastic zip bag and seal with a little air as possible and send to lab. Ask simply for a genetic paternity profile on the sample.  It could be mitochondrial or nuclear depending on the male or female prospective heritage (ask lab).  Make SURE the lab knows you want an analysis PRINTOUT that can be compared to DNA posted on the website. 

Not Necessary but  Good Insurance:  If you have a second sample you might dry it completely (keep it secret that you have a second sample), seal in a plastic bag/ label and stash in the freezer or other cold spot  for future reference, that way you have a back up if the lab loses or mixes your sample up (it happens).  Also you have proof for any future claim for reward as to who and where the sample was associated. 

A PLEA to Relatives:  If you are a possible DNA subject for testing to Howard, Jean or another possible mother, would you PLEASE be tested VOLUNTARILY and settle this issue.  The object here is to solve an ongoing mystery as it is rumored that two reporters (Walter Whinchell and Hedda Hooper) both found out about a son of Howard and Jean and reported on it. They were hushed up somehow (the report wasn't withdrawn that we know of), but Jean and Howard are long gone and the possible injustice here is to their son/s or daughter/s who have been left out of the birthright processes.  You could be the hero who rights a decades long injustice through a little bit of spit!!!

Consider: History will not look upon any favorably if this is discovered by another means (new technology is advancing daily in DNA testing; who knows what will be possible) and they were exposed as keeping mum for reputation, misguided patriotism, self incrimination and/or monetary reasons.  A reputation is not worth wronging the helpless and poor.  Isn't it worth a simple mouth swab on the CHANCE that you could solve this???  This plea will be posted on all new posts so that any relative that sees this blog will be notified.  Also, the public posting of your paternal/maternal DNA could even solve mysteries for you own childern, grandchildern or great grandchildern far into the future.  Isn't it selfish to take a code to the grave with you that could break this cypher??

This message will not SELF destruct: But there are interests with billions of dollars who will likely destroy it if they can. Please don't let them!!! Pressure will be leveled on google from many sources to pull this blog. Any question or help you need, just ask, if it's sensitive email HowardHughesDNA@gmail.com and if it's top secret don't put it in email, only confide to someone in person!
