DNA Doe Project - General Discussion #2

The missing cases are now on the Wikipedia table.

I think that’s kiluminator on the UID wiki that edits that now since I’m just avoiding Wikipedia after all the drama I went through with them

The missing cases are now on the Wikipedia table.

Thank you! I think the wiki page still says that only 40 cases were officially identified, may be it can be updated as well. I think now the actual number is 60.

Although the new cases have not been added to the DDP website, there is an update in the News section:
“DNA Doe Project is delighted to be chosen to work with Astrea Forensics, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and Arc Bio on a new way to process degraded DNA samples that could help solve even more cases“

Hopefully they could help out with Mr. X. I had posed the question to Othram about sequencing his DNA since laboratories have been seeming to have trouble.

Really quiet last few weeks in terms of updates... hopefully that means there is plenty more IDs in the works!

That's what I'm hoping, as the site still hasn't been updated with the new cases or the ID of Robert Pearson.

 

[JovanSrna]

They just announced Pearson.

As if on cue haha. Shame they couldn't find a picture of him though.

Also I just noticed that St. Louis John Doe's NamUs is down.

The article on his ID did mention he was found in an Illinois yearbook, presumably online, though it is quite a common name (we also don't know his birth year).

Also I just noticed that St. Louis John Doe's NamUs is down.

Hopefully there will be a new announcement soon! This guy was found “inside a vacant business under a set of metal school lockers ” and died from stubbed wounds. Hopefully his identification will help to solve his murder.

St Louis John Doe was identified as 18 years old T.J. Emily from St Louis, he was a handsome young man, there is a photo of him in the article

T.J. first name is Tymon and he was reported missing. His Namus is still up:
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
According to his Namus in August 1991 he was traveling from Montgomery City to St Louis to visit his uncle but had never arrived

Did the DDP get a new webmaster?

Did the DDP get a new webmaster?

Not sure about it, but I have noticed that the style is a bit different. I just hope that they will continue to add photos of the newly identified people, I am sure more people will share posts in facebook in this case!
I also hope they’ll add Saginaw John Doe and Bayonne Jane Doe soon to the website and facebook soon

The site’s doing the same thing it was again to me, I have to wonder if they’re working on stuff in the background

Never mind it’s better, but I have to wonder if the pictures on the recent ID’s are temporary, maybe Joan has been away or unavailable lately

Joan is only updating the spreadsheet, somebody else is responsible for the website
