The DDP just posted:
I don’t know if they are working on Park County John Doe, but previously they identified another man found in Park County, Colorado. I think a different agency works on this case:

They are now working on #UP55977, a man's skull found in Williams AZ in November 1980 with limited info. Like all Coconino Co cases, it is in need of donations (his status says active research though?).

I think USD 1000 is for logistics and administrative costs, database fees of each case, it probably means that the extraction and lab costs were covered by the law enforcement/agency in charge.
