Jeffrey's family waited 42 years for closure- seems like he had been missing since about 1982.

Interestingly there are 7 cases with matches over 400 cM:

Tukwila County Doe 489.4 cM

Wohler Bridge John Doe 478 cM

La Verenge County Jane Doe 438 cM

Lake Michigan Jane Doe 422.7 cM

Dane County Doe 421.5 cM

Wayne county Jane Doe 416.5 cM

Chattanooga County John Doe 404.6 cM

Wondering if there would be updates on these cases, if they have not bern solved, the DDP must be very close to identification at least in a few of these cases

So far two of the cases with matches higher than 400 cM (very close match) were announced to be identified. We know that La Verenge Jane Doe was identified as her namus was removed and Chattanooga County John Doe proved to be a difficult case.
