After 16 Years, Alameda County John Doe (2008) is Identified

Alameda County Sheriff-Coroner & California DOJ Team with Othram to Identify a 2008 John Doe

dnasolves.com

''In 2024, the Alameda County Sheriff-Coroner and California Department of Justice partnered with Othram to employ advanced forensic DNA analysis in hopes that the John Doe could be identified. Forensic evidence was submitted to Othram's laboratory in The Woodlands, Texas where scientists used Forensic-Grade Genome Sequencing® to build a comprehensive DNA profile suitable for genealogical research. Othram’s in-house forensic genetic genealogy team then used the profile in a genetic genealogy investigation to develop new leads in the case.

These leads allowed investigators to conduct follow-up inquiries that guided them to potential relatives of the John Doe. KinSNP® Rapid Relationship Testing was then used to compare the unknown man's comprehensive DNA profile to that of a potential relative. The KinSNP® analysis helped to confirm a genetic relationship, leading to the identification of the man as Esteban Pablo, a 20-year-old man who was last seen in Alameda County in September 2007, one year prior to his remains being found.''
