Well, it looks like it's official now. Recent update from DDP:
"We are gratified to announce that after 19 months of hard work we have identified Mill Creek Shed Man. This was a natural death, so the release of his name will depend on the wishes of his family as well as on official confirmation by the coroner.
We are grateful for the incredible job done by our volunteer genealogists who kept this man in their hearts every day. Also to those matches we reached out to who were gracious in sharing their trees with us. To our donors for helping to fund the second round of sequencing, which made a big difference in obtaining usable data. And to Dr. Greg Magoon who worked bioinformatics magic pulling out enough usable human markers from otherwise very challenging DNA.
We are deeply indebted to:
Jane Jorgensen, Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office, for entrusting us with this case.
Bode Cellmark Forensics, Inc.
Dr. Weining Tang, Genologue
Justin Loe, Full Genomes Corporation, Inc
Dr. Gregory Magoon, Aerodyne Research
GEDmatch
FTDNA
Our wonderful volunteers
Our generous supporters and followers
And to his family, our deepest condolences. May this bring you some measure of peace.
