Current Leads; Facts and Updates.

(modsnip)
That is just an opinion from me, for what it is worth. The key is the reunification, not who claims what.

 

[SwizzleStix]

For clarification (and NOT for argument), there are MULTIPLE leads (yes, more than two) in the hands of authorities as a result of the COMBINED efforts of MANY people. Which one is the most solid is a matter of opinion. Like others have said, it shouldn't matter to us. We are not the experts or authorities or families. Families being reunited is priority #1. Great job everyone and keep on truckin'.

Awesome. I didn't realize there was more than a couple leads. That's really great. The more they have, the greater the chances of ID'ing him. It would be so wonderful to give him his name and his family.

 

[Coffeelover]

I thought the priority was giving Grateful Doe a name. Whether or not families reunite doesn't seem like our business. Or am I missing something?

 

[averagemommy]

Oh you're absolutely right. I agree giving him a name is priority.

 

[Kymistry35]

I think she meant reunited as in the lady having her son "back" bc up to this point he has been missing.

Correct. I meant more that taking credit here is least important. Families and loved ones are most.

 

[Coffeelover]

Sorry. I took it too literally and thought there was some kind of family issues that we were trying to help with. Nevermind.

I want to apologize to bessie and anyone else for being a distraction. :grouphug:

Moving on, it is very hard to wait. I am going to peek at the forum-IIRC, we used to have a great post about what to do when you are waiting for a match to be ruled in or out.

Just would like to say, believe09, you are one of my favorite posters. I love when I see the most recent reply has your name, because you've always got some great insight. And the quote under your username is very encouraging

Tammy's sisters DNA is processed. See my detailed post 11-20-2014 where sisters DNA was rushed to UNT 9/29; that was 3+ months. We still have not heard if the comparison was done; so this could be a very long wait too

Unfortunately; it could take 2+ months like Cali's case. Tammy's sisters DNA was taken almost 3 months ago; still no word

Myrtle Beach police opening investigation into "Grateful Doe"

by Continuous News Desk

Posted: 51 mins ago

Police have opened an investigation to see if a missing Myrtle Beach man is "Grateful Doe."

Police say Callahan has not been seen or heard from since June 1995 and, at that time, he left to follow the band Grateful Dead.

The Myrtle Beach Police Department is working with other agencies to determine if Jason Callahan is Grateful Doe by collecting DNA samples, which have been sent off for evaluation.

SO, of course, the "no known tattoo" statement about Jason Callahan is noteworthy.

Read that as "she didn't know about it." He could've had it done when he was in Illinois.

Just saw this - wow!

I see there is a new pic of him on the GD facebook page posted a few mins ago.
