If the recon is even close to accurate, William Cowan is not this UID. The UID has a long narrow nose despite the break; Cowan is not as long and the bridge is thicker.

I spent some more time trying to locate any information at all about Cowan and came up empty. I'm wondering whether that name was an alias? I dunno.

Cowan looks way older than 35-45, too. I actually submitted him for comparison to another Doe.

[Bit of hope]

Has dna doe project taken this case???

The Trans Doe Task Force is working on it.

Here is a case map. Case Map - Trans Doe Task Force
"Our" John Doe is on this map, being an orange point, meaning an active case which have moved beyond the research phase.

There is lot of interesting information "around" thanks to volunteers on this subject, like Kaylara.

A read on how to help compare missing persons to Does responsibly and respectfully addressed to sleuthers like us.

A Message to Citizen Sleuth Allies - Trans Doe Task Force

"Searching for unidentified people and potential matches is mentally and emotionally difficult work. This becomes much harder when the unidentified person is Trans gender or gender variant, and especially for older cases. Many Trans people are estranged from their biological families, and even if they are not, those families may not report them as being missing. If they do report them as missing, many times, it will be as the gender they were assigned at birth, not the gender they present as, and also may be under their deadname."

"Because of these factors, there are several traditional ways of looking for potential matches which may not be particularly effective. When we search for unidentified people, we are usually checking through newspaper archives, unidentified persons databases, and old internet posts. You may have to look for offensive terms for Trans people while searching. We look for mentions of clothes or accessories being found with the remains that don’t appear to match the listed gender."

If you find a record of unidentified remains that match these criteria, you can enter that information on the Trans Doe Task Force case submission form to be added to the case map. Every pin on this map represents a case we are actively researching, or which is currently being worked on by Forensic Genealogists. The red pins are cases which are currently being worked on. The green pins are cases we are preparing for outreach to the agencies. The blue pins are cases we are actively researching to determine whether or not they are cases where the person is Trans or gender variant. If you click on a pin, you will get basic information on the case, a forensic reconstruction if one exists, and a link to our source (when possible.)
