"In December 2023, the skeletal remains of an unidentified individual were discovered inside a car in a wooded area off MS Highway 589 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Hattiesburg is about 90 miles southeast of Jackson and about 70 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico coast. When the Lamar County Police Department arrived at the scene, they found the driver's side door of a white Nissan Altima ajar, with the remains of an unidentified individual positioned in the driver's seat. Circumstantial evidence available at the scene led investigators to believe that the remains were those of a male whose identity could not be confirmed. The remains were then taken to the Mississippi State Medical Examiner for further analysis.''

''The family member's DNA profile was then compared to the unidentified man's DNA profile using KinSNP® Rapid Familial Relationship Testing, which allows investigators to infer kinship in both closely and distantly related individuals. Using this new information, investigators confirmed the identity of the man, who is now known to be Daniel Grantham.''
