Currently the case has raised $4,165 and the goal is $5,000 for the case to be fully raised.Hi folks, we are on the case (in collaboration with Southeast Missouri State University): Who is Lincoln County John Doe (1984)
Had also been wondering why this man was well put together, yet wore brown socks with black shoes, your post reminded me of A black cat i once had, whose fur would bleach a bit to brown in the sun!Now I may have pointed this out already -- but was this guy actually wearing brown socks with a gray suit and black shoes???
This was the '80's, folks, and this outfit calls for black socks.
Also likely that the socks are cotton. Cotton fabrics fade, while the wool suit & cashmere coat would fade much, much less over the same amount of time.
I wonder if these were black socks when the gentleman started the day?
When checking Google Maps, follow Old 61, as the current path of 61, Avenue of the Saints, was finished in this century.

Glad to see this has been funded.
A possible hint regarding the overcoat from Boyd's. Boyd's Department Store was an upscale store in St. Louis, MO. It's specialty was custom made clothing and accessories for men. I recall shopping at the downtown store in the late 70's for women's business suits.

This John Doe was likely from the St. Louis area. JMO

After 40 years, Lincoln County John Doe (1984) is Identified
Lincoln County Sheriff’s and Coroner’s Office Team with Southeast Missouri State University and Othram to ID 1984 Human Remainsdnasolves.com
''Now, in 2022, Southeast Missouri State University anthropology students, supervised by Dr. Jennifer Bengtson, will inventory the remains and attempt to refine the age-at-death estimate. They will develop plans for isotope testing and forensic artwork, which they will implement to support the ongoing investigation. Dr. Bengtson’s students will also use published guidance and non-destructive chemical analyses to select the best skeletal evidence to submit to Othram for Forensic-Grade Genome Sequencing. Othram will attempt to build a comprehensive genealogical profile that can be used to generate new leads to the unknown man’s identity or at least to the identity of a family member. Meanwhile, Dr. Bengtson’s students will be introduced to records research by searching missing persons databases and public records for potential matches. Results of these analyses will be delivered to the Lincoln County law enforcement agency for further investigation.''![]()

Per one of the April news links above, he was identified, but his family requested his name be kept confidential.
No that was referring to a body found in 2006Per one of the April news links above, he was identified, but his family requested his name be kept confidential. I may be misreading it, but I think that was the news report last spring.
If he had been identified back in April, wouldn’t his case have been taken down from Namus—or did I misunderstand how the system works?
Also, since he was a homicide victim, would his family have control of whether or not his name was released?
Posting in ignorance, all MOOs
This article was about another UID found in 2006, it was probably linked by mistakePer one of the April news links above, he was identified, but his family requested his name be kept confidential. I may be misreading it, but I think that was the news report last spring.
Quite right, i posted details from a link previously posted, atm cannot recall why, sorry!Per one of the April news links above, he was identified, but his family requested his name be kept confidential. I may be misreading it, but I think that was the news report last spring.
