Good call but i think it is quite clear he drowned in a boat accident with the rest of the crew

Unfortunately it seems LE in Alaska are hesitant to work with @othram (or just haven’t considered it). There are only two cases from Alaska on the DNASOLVES site.

I don’t think Flagpole Doe is likely to get his name back without the use of genetic genealogy, so hoping somewhere down the line it is considered.

The good news is both the other cases were also in Anchorage so will be the same police department, will they not? Maybe it's a resources issue - testing is expensive.

It certainly can be expensive. Would be happy to contribute towards the testing if they worked with Othram and got a funding link up as many DNASolves cases tend to have.

Yes, we are always happy to help raise funding for cases!

I have found an email listed as the ‘cold case’ contact for Anchorage PD, and have sent a brief email to note Othram’s potential interest to help as well as the willingness of some of this forum to help fundraise should work on the case get underway.

Will update if I receive a reply…

Has Ralph Alan Newcombe been suggested for this uid before? He fits the description. Missing from Seattle, but his truck was found parked at the Alaska ferry terminal.

Never mind, I see that he has been ruled out twice as being the uid.

 

[CooperDyl]

Received a reply to say they will take a closer look when time permits, and a quick thank you note about the willingness to help.

 

[kforbes862]

That is encouraging. I never got a response from them at all about a year ago when I made an inquiry about the case
