Today, nearly 20 years after his death, the story of "Grateful Doe," or "Jason Doe" as he is sometimes called, would likely be all but forgotten were it not for members of Websleuths, an online community of volunteers who brainstorm unsolved mysteries. For the past several years, multiple Websleuths members, including two known as "Killarney Rose" and "Rainwater," have picked apart the case and helped raise awareness about it on social media.
"He was someone's son, brother, grandson, nephew, uncle [and] it is so hard to believe that in this day and time that no one can identify him," Killarney Rose told HuffPost, explaining why she is dedicated to the case.
"Although Grateful Dead fans may not know each other's names, at a Dead concert all are members of the same family for magical hours," Rainwater said. "We want to see this family member given back his name."
