DNA Doe Project - General Discussion

[Liv27]

We are about 12 hours away from finding out the identity of the Buffalo Cave John Doe-- announcement to come on Dec 31 at 1 PM:

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Clark County Community Center, 278 Community Center Drive, Dubois, to announce the positive identification of human remains that were found in the Civil Defense Caves in 1979.

News conference called to release ID of John Doe in 40-year-old case

Identified! - ID - Dubois, WhtMale Skeletal UP13310, 40-99, in Buffalo Cave, Aug'79 - name withheld until 12/31/19

I am so proud of my friends, Anthony and Lee Redgrave. They did tremendous work on this case and the outcome is extraordinary.

Absolutely! I was thoroughly impressed with their work and his presentation yesterday.

From what I gather, Henry Loveless is their most publicized case.
Major news outlets like CNN, The Guardian and The New York Times have picked it up.
It isn't common for a story like this to have such an incredible twist.

BTW, what is the name of the book mentioned during the press conference ?

Google Drive Update:

Barron County 1982 Doe was added and has 3 matches over 40 cm. His highest is 283.3 cm, so an identification should be expected VERY soon. That's an extremely good match.

Betty the Bag Lady is going to be added shortly.

Buena Vista Leg Doe is back with her 15.6 cm match, which still sucks but at least it's something.

Kings County Tarp Doe now has 262 close matches.

Lime Lady is going to be added shortly.

New Britain Jane Doe has one more match, bringing her total to 147.

Pulaski Jane Doe has one more match, bringing her total to 13 close matches.

Van Buren County John Doe 1987 is going to be added shortly.

Thank you for the update. Are you able to see cm for Texas Corona Jane Doe?

Letter: Salem needs Doe project

This is an open letter from a New Hampshire resident asking a local police department to approach the DDP.
Apparently, New Hampshire has at least five UIDs that we know of and this police department is responsible for one.
The citizen mentions DDP's work on Henry Loveless, a stellar case to have on their list of accomplishments.
Police hasn't been very responsive though.

Interestingly enough, Dr Amy Michael works for the University of New Hampshire.
She worked on Henry's case and is friends with the Redgraves. Police would have a contact in their backyard if they approach the project!

Dr. Amy is a lovely person. She did great work on the Loveless case.

Thank you for sharing this!

Barron County John Doe 1982 has been identified!

 

[Liv27]

Barron County John Doe 1982 has been identified!

Yes! That was a quick one. I figured he was identified since the Google Drive had such a high match and then his NamUs was updated shortly after!

Great work to DDP and my thoughts are with Kraig Patrick King's family during this time.

Google Drive Update!

Not a lot this week. As you may know, Barron County John Doe 1982 has been identified as Kraig Patrick King so he has been removed.

Jonesport John Doe has gained a lot of new matches over 40 cm. He went from 186 to 232 good matches.

Lime Lady was added and she has great matches! She has 8 matches over 40 cm, with the largest one being 162.2 cm. She should be identified quickly.

Unfortunately, New Britain Jane Doe lost 1 match, bringing her total of good matches down to 146.

 

[JovanSrna]

Kraig King is now apparently their fastest solved case. The previous fastest solved case was Marcia King.
Barron County has another John Doe, a case from 2017.
According to one article, Barron County officials learned of the DDP through an investigator from the Jayme Closs case.
Hoping for some word of mouth bait for other agencies to approach them. I'd like to see them take on a case from every state!

 

[Liv27]

All of DDP’s pending cases have been added to the Google Drive. No information yet since they’re not in the system but their names are there.

 

[JovanSrna]

Some cases are now in bioinformatics!
• Berrien County Jane Doe
• Allegan County John Doe
• Nation River Lady
• Lenawee County John Doe
• Julie Doe

Literally so excited about Julie. She's had such a difficult time in lab. Bless everyone that has worked so hard on her case. I cannot WAIT for the results.

If any assistance is needed with Berrien and Van Buren county cases (e.g., visiting the court house, library, etc.), please let me know. Would love to help in any way I can.

This thread isn’t run by DDP. It’s a good offer you have so I’d recommend contacting their Facebook page.

My pet uid case would be the tattooed man found in 1930s Cleveland

I can not believe that someone would hurt such a handsome man

Maybe the whereabouts of his buried body are unknown.I did read once that many documents on the torso murders were lost throughout the decades
