Othram - General Discussion - #2

Honored that Othram could assist the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office in identifying 55-year-old Bryan M. Heinrich, Sr. His body was found in 2022 but investigators could not identify him. His death is not considered a homicide.

Cowlitz County John Doe (2022) is now Identified

We are not sure if there is a Websleuths thread.

No Doe thread under his NamUs number, and none matching this Doe under a general 'Cowlitz River' search, so I don't think there is a Doe thread. No MisPer thread under Bryan M. Heinrich or Bryan Heinrich, either, so I don't think he has an existing thread of any kind on Websleuths.

Sleep well, Bryan.

Honored that Othram could assist the Flagler County Sheriff's Office in identifying 58-year-old Robert Bruce McPhail. He was murdered and his body was found in 1997, but he has only been identified now. Unfortunately we were not able to find a photo of the man. Investigators are now searching for the person or persons responsible for his murder.

The recon looks like it was a good one! Good resemblance.

No existing Doe or MisPer threads for Harold that I can find. It's harder to be sure without a NamUs number, but I don't think I missed one. Given he's a relatively recent Doe, he may not have been a case that anyone on here was aware of until today.

Sleep well, Harold.

Well done, y'all! Justice for Terence Paquette!

VERDICT: An Orange County Jury has found Kenneth Stough Jr. guilty of murder and he has been sentenced to life in prison. In February 1996, Terence Paquette was stabbed more than 70 times and found in the bathroom of the Lil' Champ convenience store in northwest Orange County. The case remained unsolved for nearly 25 years. In November 2021, OCSO Homicide detectives arrested Kenneth Stough, Jr. in connection with the murder through genetic genealogy. This was the first homicide case been solved using genetic genealogy at the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
