DNA Doe Project - General Discussion #2

St Tammany Parish John Doe’s Namus was removed and marked as identified.

That's great to hear! I know their numbers were really low on the spreadsheet, so it's good to see them identified!

St Tammany Parish John Doe’s Namus was removed and marked as identified.

I’m not seeing where they’re marked as identified but that’s still fantastic news. That seemed like an extremely difficult case

Should be interesting to hear how this case played out, hopefully we hear some news at some point/soon (hopefully there could be multiple announcements in the next little while).

Facebook updated with the now active cases, including one of the new Travis County cases

Yes! I am wondering how he was identified. He had very low matches and the first DDP’s greek-middle eastern case. Interesting, waiting for the updates.

The 4th case where Namus was removed, hopefully there will be announcements soon.

I have a hunch it could be from the conference earlier this year or sending out the update on his ancestry

From FB: "That case is still in our pipeline - there was some confusion on our end that resulted in the case being listed on the website prematurely."

Also, another new case -

Suzanne Jane Doe 1994 | DNA Doe Project

Just cross-referencing other WS threads:

"Suzanne Jane Doe"

FL - FL - Holt, off I-10, WhtFem 36-45, 595UFFL, Suzanne, Suzette or Sue, Sep'94

DDP identified Patricia Skiple, who was another victim of serial killer Keith Hunter Jesperson

Identified! - CA - Santa Clara Co., Wht/HispFem 497UFCA, 35-45, SK victim, Hwy 152, Jun'93 *Patricia Skiple*

Hope this means that DDP will also work on Blythe California Jane Doe:

CA - CA - Blythe, WhtFem UP7048, 21-26, hitchhiking, maybe 'Claudia', Aug'92

New Buffalo Jane Doe 1988 - DNA Doe Project Cases new case from Michigan

Also small update from the possible match on rebel ray, Natalie Murry isn’t actively pursuing the case anymore so I’ve forwarded all of the information to the new investigator and am waiting on his response now

I actually asked DDP through Messenger months ago if they could take on Rancho Cucamonga Jane Doe 1979. DDP said they contacted the law enforcement agency in charge of her case and would message me for more updates. I haven't received another response from them. I hope this means RCJD is actually being worked on even though it might be by another lab.

Wayne County Jane Doe has been added to the spreadsheet with the highest match 416.5 cM.

Freeborn Co John Doe 2015 - DNA Doe Project

dnadoeproject.org

Freeborn County John Doe has a new reconstruction by Carl Koppelman.

Also there is an update on Grundy County Jane Doe

Who is Jane ‘Seneca’ Doe?

On Oct. 2, 1976, Henry Henderson told police he was “hauling beans to a crib with his granddaughter, Robin Henderson” in a field west U.S Route 6 in Erienna Township in Seneca, about 1.4 miles east of the LaSalle County line, when he noticed something lying in a north ditch.”

Recently, the Doe project discovered what was “initially believed to be a half-sister” to the victim. However, a few weeks ago, the project learned that person is a first cousin to the victim from New York.

“We have had several close matches like this where it’s a first cousin, second cousin, somewhere in the tree. It just needs that right match, the right puzzle piece, so to speak. To find out who she is, within this family tree, and what her name is. What they say now is it’s possible that our Jane Doe was born in either Selma, AL. or Cincinnati, OH,” Johnson said.

Severed foot in bucket helps ID dismembered body found in rural St. Tammany Parish

The cold case dates to 2016, when a badly decomposed, dismembered body was found on the roadside.

Sounds like it was a lucky break more than anything, similar to Shirley Cassel, still though, amazing news.

I think after the leg was found and the man identified , the DDP helped the police to find the relatives of the guy in Ohio, but lets wait for the announcment of the DDP

St Tammany Parish John Doe - DNA Doe Project Cases

Description Around 7:00 a.m. on Friday, July 29, 2016 the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office was notified of a body on Highway 90 at Highway 433 near White Kitchen north of New Orleans. An autopsy conducted by the St. Tammany Parish Coroner’s Office determined the badly decomposed body was that...

dnadoeproject.org

Investigators from the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office were able to develop investigative leads that led to the identification of Kleanthis Konstantinidis after the discovery of his severed foot on a Biloxi property owned by the chief suspect in his murder. Investigative genetic genealogy was used to establish the ancestry of this John Doe, but his matches were very distant relatives.

It is a bit strange, Kenosha John Doe has been in research for around 3 years, I thought his expenses were covered long time ago

Maybe they’re trying to build a new kit for him. I hope it’s not a matter of using the case to cover site costs and such
