“The story of this man’s life is pretty incredible,” Michael said in an email. “I cannot wait to share the details that we found out as soon as we are allowed to do so." - this has made me refresh this thread every few hours.

I am literally biting my nails I'm happy his family has answers. Michael's cheery tone almost makes it seem like it wasn't a murder. Maybe this man was part of some group and these were his burial wishes? Oh, well, no point in speculating. Just have to wait for 1pm in Idaho!

I too am anxious to know, but I hate that this feels like some kind of "reveal party"! What's with the hype?

I feel weird about it too, but I guess the more publicity about these kinds of genealogy/LE joint projects to solve cold cases, the better...

I'm with you, and I'm glad you said it. It has that reality TV feel that really doesn't belong in government/law enforcement/academic matters. But I guess after 40 years, I'll be grateful for a man getting his name back, no matter what.

Anyone know if there's going to be a livestream of this?

Unless hmm Jimmy Hoffa? Probably not, but there is definitely reason why they choose today's New Years date to reveal the news.

Anywho, press conference starts in 15 min. Anyone know news sites where it will be broadcast live???

To answer my own question - I have found one live stream - DNA Doe project is streaming live video from press conference and cameras are already on

Direct link - DNA Doe Project

No, I've been Googling, checking YouTube and Twitter. Got nothing. Hope someone else has it.

Oh, dear, the sound is horrible!

ETA: I understand that several of us are having problems with the Facebook live stream crashing and such. I'll do my best trying to catch up what is happening.

j_in_c's link above my post is much better! but now the fireworks have started outside and I can barely hear anything anyway! :facepalm:


His name was Joseph Henry Loveless or Lovelace (spelling, anyone?).

The Facebook feed keeps crashing and so does the news feed. Ugh.

Is the quality on the FB livestream bad for anyone else? It's extremely pixelated, but I can hear it okay if I turn my volume all the way up.

 

[Reasonable & Just]

Not to be a sourpuss, but if it was a homicide like they are saying, then this really is all a little too cheerful and self-congratulatory. Focus on the victim.

 

[Damarna]

I agree! It's a bit unsettling to me.

The same here.

Joseph Henry Loveless? - Born in 1870, likely killed in 1916 (!!!) according to Lee Redgrave. Apparently he was an outlaw. NOT what I saw coming, woah.

Joseph Henry Loveless (1870-1915) - Find A Grave...
