AK AK - Tok, WhtMale 25-35, UP12375, one-eyed hitchhiker picked up in ID, Aug'79

New Posts

No, I have not received a response. The doe network said in their original email that I'd only get one if it was a match. I assume they didn't proceed with sending it to investigators since it's been over a year. Is it a good idea to send the match to another agency or just leave it alone?

I'm very glad to see another exclusion on the list, it's good that this case is still being looked at by someone
 
Matches generally take a lot longer than exclusions. If they make a tentative initial match, they then have to follow up, locate relatives, perform confirming testing, notify other next of kin. That can take a couple of years.

And then there can be issues of ongoing criminal investigation. In this case the crime against the UID has been solved, but there's the possibility the UID himself was wanted for something serious.

So while it's discouraging not to hear anything, it doesn't necessarily mean they aren't following up.
 
Somebody earlier in the thread mentioned wondering if investigators looked through Oregon's worker's compensation records to see if somebody was reported to have missed an eye in a logging accident about the same time Jack would have lost his. I wonder about that as well. I also do have to wonder if a logging company would go through those measures to report it. Just some thoughts floating around in my head.
 
Found this profile; his left eye is missing or unknown, and also Height: 6'0" and Weight: 190 lbs is compatible!

I noticed that DNA is available for both McCoy and John Doe. It might be an automatic exclusion.

Unfortunately Christopher didn't go missing until after the date when the confessed murderer says he killed the unidentified man, according to the information in this thread"s first post:

"Subsequently an individual in custody in Nevada admitted to murdering a hitchhiker that he had picked up in September of 1978 while driving in Alaska."

But neither Doenetwork nor Namus include that information so maybe it's not accurate--this is probably close enough to submit just to make sure the DNA was tested.

OMG. I went to school with Clayton. I didn't realize they still considered him missing--the story at the time was that he had gone out hunting in a rather rugged area with lots of old mines and had fallen down a mine shaft. (He would not have been the first to die that way in that area.)

I didn't know him well and hadn't seen him for years, but...yeah, that could be him.
