Just wanted to thank everyone for all the help recently! You guys rock! LEO has a list with these pending 48 names plus any new additions (and some ones that I can't verify have been ruled out yet). The list they have all have direct links to the individual threads you are all posting in and links to NamUs. I am excited that some of the ones we looked into back in April now have updated DNA and dentals when they previously did not.
I am not sure if LEO got busy with other cases (as they can only work on this during their free time). I am not sure how long it will take them to go through all of the info - but they have a quick handy reference list with links so hopefully that helps in ease of use. Meanwhile, we can keep working on these folks to try and dig up any info we can find in an effort to get more info. I am not sure if the family info helps but if more is needed (ie: dentist info, maternal or mitochondrial DNA, pictures, the family's side of the story, etc) they have somewhere to start looking. I think the court documents also are a way to get information they might be able to find family members. I would rather give them anything we can find and let LEO decide if it's relevant to them or not. Sadly, the age of this case limits what we can find on the internet but sleuthers have surprised me so far.
I found more pending submissions than we thought back in early December so LEO's list got bigger - but most of those have dental or DNA uploaded into NamUs. The ones we are helping with (48 pending) are more difficult to Rule Out. At any rate, when mmarty has time to spend on this - he will update and I can update the alpha list.
Also, if anyone is willing to go back through looking for MP's (fitting our height, dates, and possible hair color) who were not named previously (see alpha list) please submit them. There may be new submissions to NamUs since April where the family finally just decided to list them as a missing person. We went through all of the national data bases back in April and some individual States websites, along with some from Canada. If we go through our entire alpha list and rule out everyone then we will have to get really creative but hopefully we have already identified Sand Canyon John Doe and we just don't know it yet.
