I don't know if Othram have done any work in Alaska, but I've always wanted to see this guy identified:

AK - AK - Anchorage, WhtMale 439UMAK, 25-40, naked, fell from flagpole, Aug'89

Thoughts?:twocents: No NamUs File W/M Found 8/23/89 Doe File 439UMAK: http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/439umak.html Gordon Lopez He's on the young side of the age range, but he does have an AK connection and his Demographics fit pretty good so, I thought I'd throw it out in the...

Such a weird case, he was running down the road naked, climbed a flagpole, and then fell off and died. Nobody knows where he came from, he had nothing with him, they never found his stuff. Apparently no drugs in his system and he didn't say anything before he died. The kind of case with basically no clues, only genetic genealogy can probably solve it.

I tried looking for it too. I don't think there's one for Linda

Honored Othram could assist LVMPD and the FBI in identifying Linda Sue Anderson, who was murdered likely in 1991 and found in 1993. This case was a collaboration between LVMPD, the FBI, Othram, and RTI/NamUs.

Honored that Othram could assist King County in identifying the final set of remains associated with the Green River Killer (Gary Ridgway) as Tammie Liles. This case was incredibly complex and the remains failed attempts at DNA testing at multiple labs before coming to Othram. Remember, "good enough" is not good enough for cold cases. We need the best case scenario every time.
