Did a little digging...I don't think he grew up in Frederick, but another county in Maryland. He's named after his father and there's a very long and violent criminal record with the Dad. Didn't get to check the other county for if he has entries there, but found some reckless traffic charges on...
Thank you for what you do as well...
I'm holding a group sleuth next month on this case and another Frederick Jane Doe case. If anyone's interested, please pm me and I will provide you the link. (Don't want to list it here as I've gotten spammers listing zoom links publically).
I've been looking all over to see what the status of the dna was, and found it here. Not surprised it's not usable.
From what I understand, there's two main suspects on this case. The security guard and a high schooler that was obsessed with her. I believe he has since committed suicide...
Maryland has dna laws that are not helping solve any cold cases, and logistics haven't been worked out since the law was passed. See below.
Many departments also are only allowed to use state, internal, or Bode for processing dna. Frederick also does not have a cold case unit, which is why...
Othram has been contacted numerous times about this case. Unfortunately, Maryland has passed a very stringent law about the use of forensic familial dna, and has a two year backlog even upload cases (it has to be done by the FBI now).
I do know that they do have a trace amount from the steamer...
Virginia Welch and Anne Riggins are the highest contenders for her. One detective really believed Jane Doe is Welch, but until the last two years, no dentals could ever be located on them.
We're getting ready to organize an event in Frederick about Maryland's halt on using forensic familial dna and the lack of a cold case unit in Frederick. It took almost two years to get dentals for a running contender for Jane Doe, and I still don't see either as exclusions on Namus. Been told...
The two strongest candidates in this case are a local woman from Virginia and a missing woman from Harrisburg. I was told they finally located dentals on both about six months ago, but do not know if they were compared. Unfortunately, this police department does not have a cold case unit, and...
From what I was told, the forensic team went through the steamer trunk again, and they could not get a sufficient sample. However, I just emailed the detective this morning with this post and asked him what it would take to get this and another local case sent to Orthram to see if they could do...
If there's dentals on Mary, it would get flagged by NCIC. I know the former forensic dentist at the medical examiner would compare anything that received.

The Doenetwork is not the authority on confirming a case, and it would not have to go through any match panel to be released as identified by Frederick PD.

Go for it...I've been involved with this type of stuff for 20 years, and NOTHING is out of the realm...I don't discount age, race, height, eye color, sex, location or even date of disappearance...I've seen a case in California where they had the sex wrong for years, have seen height off by 4...
