Othram - General Discussion - #2

[othram]

Hey, it's all vital work. I've been watching this thread, and that of Amore Joveah Wiggins, fearing that they'd go for decades without names, like St Louis Jane Doe and both Christmas Does, all little black girls who never got a chance to grow up and who have waited so long for justice. Seeing Amore and Neveah get their names back gives me hope for those other three who have been waiting since the '80s for someone to say their names again.

We want to get all these kids identified. Its horrifying.

 

[othram]

I hope Othram can extend to more parts of the world. It would be really cool to see the six victims of the “Saw-Killer of Hanover” be identified.

On our roadmap but we are only able to grow so fast

We want to get all these kids identified. Its horrifying.

I'd add The Girl in the Box to that group, an even older case of a little black girl Doe, after the success with Joseph Zarelli, but I don't think they could find her remains when they tried to exhume her, so sadly, unless that changes, it may never be possible.

One more before the weekend: Pleased to share that Othram, as part of an ongoing partnership with the Connecticut Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, has assisted in the identification of Sarah Tatham Abbott. This case was a DNASolves crowdfund, funded by ALL OF YOU. We are so grateful!!

Can someone assist on the Websleuths thread?

I donno. @othram seems to do miracles. Never give up.

 

[SolVic]

Do you know if there is a thread for that case?

There isn’t.

 

[ChatteringBirds]

There isn’t.

I would be willing to start a thread for that case if you could message me a link to an article about it.

Excited that Othram was again able to assist the Will County Coroner's Office, this time to identify 2013 homicide victim Marcus Wright, who was only 24 when he was murdered. An investigation into his death continues.

@othram I know your Australian AFP collab was announced roughly 9 months ago... has it actually kicked off and will you be permitted to announce IDs? I know here in Canberra we do things a bit differently.

There are some cases in progress and some that should be announced soon!

There are some cases in progress and some that should be announced soon!

From an Aussie, that is fabulous to hear.

 

[othram]

There are too many cases that are solvable but lack the funding & resources necessary to be solved.

1. Support our mission by getting an Othram pin. Net proceeds fund cases and the pins are really cool: The Othram Pin.

2. You can help us fund any of these cases that are in progress: Pending Cases.

I'm surprised there hasn't been as much press coverage in Connecticut given the number of cases Othram is doing in partnership with the office of chief medical examiner:

DNASolves® Connecticut Map

just expected to see more articles, more news... it would definitely help raise funds for the remaining cases

Honored to share that Othram was able to assist the Stillwater County Sheriff's Office in identifying Michael Moler. Moler was an Army veteran and his remains were found in 2019 but he was not identified until now.

I don't think there is a thread for Jordan as a Doe. A few months ago we talked about Golden Valley because of the ID of Brian Crain.

Othram - General Discussion - #2

Thrilled to share that Othram, as part of an ongoing collaboration with the Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office, helped identify Illya “Ella” Wilkins, born July 30, 1887. https://dnasolves.com/articles/clackamas-illya-ella-wilkins-1981/...

www.websleuths.com

Jordan and Brian were both mentioned as potential IDs for this Golden Valley 2021 Doe. Obviously neither of them turned out to be. I do wonder if that means this remaining Doe is the third proposed ID. Not many missing/potential Does in Golden Valley, and all three were men.

Here is the third Doe's thread.
