'Othram’s in-house forensic genetic genealogy team then used the DNA profile to conduct genetic genealogy research, ultimately providing new investigative leads to law enforcement.
Using this new information, a follow-up investigation was conducted leading investigators to potential relatives of the man. This investigation led to the positive identification of the individual, who is now known to be John J. “Jack” Spratt, born March 4th, 1952 and originally from Illinois.'
