Thanks for checking in, April. Have you uploaded your DNA into Gedmatch to see if she or perhaps any possible progeny might be looking for you all? With the advances in forensic/investigative genetic genealogy, this is a great way to expand your reach for any future identifications beyond...

I don't know what it is about being lost in the woods/wilderness, but some sort of psychosis seems to take over. I read an interesting article about it once. It could be a combination of panic, dehydration, exhaustion and hunger. There were also a couple of cases where the lost person had access...

I'm curious, too. The latest article I read stated the remains had been there a few years. That's kind of a subjective timeline. A few years to me could be three to five, and 10+ to someone else. I'm hoping they're identified soon and those responsible brought to justice.

This is great news. RIP Becca.

I hope this leads somewhere. But they've run into this before with FGG, where the closest matches have no clue who the deceased is. I think it's rare nowadays, though.

Must have missed this, thanks.

I'd like to see this in the FGG pipeline myself.

Thanks!

I don't believe we've ever heard a firsthand account from the brother as to what happened that morning. Everything I recall was secondhand through his parents, who weren't there. So if you have a link to an interview or news article with Jason's brother, could you please post it? I searched...

My working theory is a nearby neighbor, within close proximity to his own home but out of sight/earshot of it, offered him a ride and things went south. It's possible the encounter started out without nefarious or ill-intentions, but escalated, ending with Jason's disappearance. I think it would...
