FRANKFORT, Ky. (KT) - The Kentucky State Police is partnering with the DNA Doe Project to help identify an unidentified victim involved from a three decades murder case in northern Kentucky.
The KSP says if any member of the community has any information involving this case, please contact the Dry Ridge Post at
859-428-1212.

Even 30 years later, he is still “John Doe.”
“You think about moms, dads, brothers and sisters - perhaps even children who are no longer children, they’re adults,” said Det. Sgt. Charles Haselwood of KSP Post 6. “And they want closure.”
That is why investigators are working with the
DNA Doe Project, a network of volunteers across the country who use genetic genealogy to identify Jane and John Does.
In 2016, KSP
released a digitally-enhanced photo, using technology from the
National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, of what the victim is thought to have looked like.

He is believed to have been a white man, 25-35 years old, 6′5″ tall and weighing about 220 pounds. His hair was medium brown, worn in a crew cut with short sideburns, police said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact KSP Post 6 Dry Ridge at 859-428-1212 or to call anonymously at 1-800-222-5555
