Is that one tattoo a film strip? At least that's what it looks like to me I've never seen a tattoo like that before it's definitely unique. Also what type of building is this that he was found in if anyone knows? I know this is an old comment but I want to clear it up. The media release picture...

No Doe or Misper threads for Jeremiah.

Another great solve for Othram! (And another great recon by Kelly! LOVE her work, they always look like you could hang them on your wall. They're beautiful artworks AND great resemblances to the Does they depict, hers and her mother's - recon work is the family calling.)

Just wanted to say how astounding it is that @othram seems to be averaging about 4-5 id announcements per week in the last few weeks.
Some cases have languished for years. Amazing

I know that behind the scenes these announcements are the results of months, maybe years, of work. still incredible to see forensic genealogy scaling up like this

I'm glad that some of these too are lesser known cases, like this recent solve was just Tomye's cranium recovered with no identifiable features. I think many people don't realize that and stick to cases with reconstructions

There has been lots of technology development behind the scenes to enable this scale and we are working to scale things even faster. To the have a real impact on society we need to enable all cases, not just some.

The obscure cases with no forensic sketch or details are the best cases to highlight the power of this technology. These are cases that are truly unsolvable without modern DNA testing techniques.
