DNA

I don't think it was unbelievable at all. Besides, going through her friend would be faster.

For a puppy so well-practiced in the arts of keyboard manipulation, I am doubly impressed by your evident skills of deductive reasoning. To guide you towards what may be an answer of sorts, VegasNanny08 would, I think, agree, that there are times of extreme melancholia, when one is so heavily taxed by certain hectoring thoughts of what mistakes they, themselves, might have made, that it haunts heavily upon them the question: Did I contribute to this, the very worst of all family horror shows?

When your consoling friends have left your home; when all have left you alone with the darkness and the quietude in all of its empty and inviting nothingness, is this not the time when these thoughts - - these self-sabotaging thoughts - - begin to acutely drill themselves deep into your psyche? Questions about your own judgement as the parent . . questions—and sometimes outright accusations—claiming that did not care for your child; claims that you did not sufficiently love that child; and your child knows it, and will know it when the worst befalls such innocence.

Your response, too often, is no response at all. Each day blends into another. Those that know, claim they are doing all that they can; so you so nothing but abide the hours, and try your best to stay away from those darkest of thoughts. In truth, at a time when you should be the very one doing the very most, you merely sit still and endure. Inertia, brought on by self-applied disconsolation, is the toughest inertia from which to break free. If feels like it is killing you from the inside out.

There are some questions we peruse with unreasonably passionate abandon. Questions bought with blood, toil, tears and sweat; and questions soon to be answered with the mere reading of a letter, or the reading of a sentence within that letter, or, perhaps, ever one mere word contained in that letter. A point in that letter where a word is highlighted; and, where read, will change everything about everything that you’ve ever cared about, or will care about, from this very point in your life to the very day that you die. So the letter remains sealed indefinitely, as there are some questions of such consequence we find we do not wish to know the answer.

She didn't test DNA but fingerprints apparently which would be on the police database only

I think it is reasonable that Karen wants her friend to get the DNA test done, after she checks the fingerprints. I supposed if the prints were a match, there wouldn't be any real need for a DNA test to be carried out.
