The above case of Del Ray Jane Doe reminds me of the well known Shannon Aumock case..though it was eight years later..

I see the similarities, but I don’t think these cases are linked, Aumock’s suspected killer Bryan Patrick Miller was born in October 1972, so her was only 10 when the body of Del Ray Jane Doe was found. I think he was active in the time Melody Harrison aka Apache Junction Jane Doe was killed (1992).

But there could be a different serial killer active in 1980ies-1990ies in Phoenix, as Miller was not convicted in Aumock’s murder, there is a possibility it was somebody else.

New Identification!

Elizabethtown John Doe 2012, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania found near Masonic Village identified as Mitchell L. Mendelson, 60, of Elizabethtown.

Mendelson retired from Red Rose Transit Authority, where he was a bus driver. He had moved from Lancaster City to Elizabethtown in 2011. His hobbies included walking, cooking and listening to music, Bieber said.

It’s unclear when Mendelson was last seen alive. But his remains were found in a wooded area at Masonic Village retirement community in West Donegal Township on Nov. 2, 2012.

Hill Building John Doe 1985 | DNA Doe Project

dnadoeproject.org

St. Paul, MN – Nearly 40 years after the body of a man was discovered in an abandoned building in St. Paul, the DNA Doe Project has identified him as Frank Nicholas Augenti. Born in 1951 in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, Augenti was 33 years old at the time of his death, and his last known address was in New York City.
Further research into Frank Augenti revealed that he had dropped off the radar in the 1980s, and the team on this case found further evidence to suggest that he could be Hill Building John Doe. His name was presented to the medical examiner’s office and, in August 2024, this identification was confirmed.

I’ve created a thread for Alaska Coldfoot John Doe (2018). It looks like Parabon created a phenotype prediction snapshot for him! I’m really fascinated with how accurate Parabon snapshots are

Here is DDP page, he is on the old spreadsheet but his matches are really low, as he was not listed as the DDP’s hispanic case, I am not sure if he is hispanic and not native Alaskan

The numbers on the dashboard were updated and now there are 131 identified Does v. 129 in the last update. Also Del Rey Jane Doe 1984 AZ was probably identified but her identity wont be released.

Do we know why they don't seem to be updating the tab behind this one (Match Data)? Or are they updating the stats but not updating the column heading that says data is from June 3, 2023?
