Wonderful news! So far Ohio agencies make announcements pretty fast.
 
The website has had a bit of a facelift. Instead of pages it seems like it's just one database/table now and you can sort it by active, pending, etc, and sort it by date ascending or descending.
 
I created a thread here for Montreal River John Doe 2017 a few months ago. Last week a person who said he is his siblings posted that Montreal River John Doe 2017 has been identified with the assistance of the DDP. The Canadian LEs don’t always make official statements about identification, in any case I am glad Montreal River John Doe 2017 has been identified
Montreal River John Doe Ontario, Canada has been identified! His identity won’t be released


Using investigative genetic genealogy, through the DNA Doe Project, police managed to identify the deceased male and share their findings with his family.



However, the identity of the deceased male will not be shared publicly out of respect for the family’s wishes.



“Thanks to the investigative efforts and support from many OPP units, the (Office of the Chief Coroner/Ontario Forensic Pathology Service) and the DNA Doe Project, a family has finally received answers about their loved one,” Acting Detective Superintendent Daniel Nadeau, an OPP investigator, said in a Tuesday news release.

Lansing Street John Doe 1996 Also moved from Pending cases to Active research

 
Two New cases from Pennsylvania and Illinois!


 
There is actually another new case, it is already in Active research. It is one of these weird cases, where somebody kept a human skull at work/home. Surprisingly, there are so many of these cases

It is not unusual for the science departments of colleges and universities to have a cadaver or two in their possession. At least that has been my observation from professional experience. Usually it is someone whose body was donated for students to study or for research. I am wondering if this is the case with the skull fragment? Maybe it was from a donated child cadaver that they no longer have? Either way it will be interesting to see who it belongs to and how old it is.
