Identified! ME - Jonesport, Wht/OtherMale 60-65, UP15307, in ocean, clothes, watch, Jul'00 - Philip Kahn

[DS2021]

I have a message out to DNA Doe Project to see if they can provide a timeline in regards to an announcement on his identity.

 

[djanga]

His NamUs link is down!!!

Good news, we were hopeful about his identification because the DDP volunteer said they were close to his identification and they were hopeful he will be identified this year. It was in context that his case was very difficult probably because of his Ashkenazi roots, distint matches and endogamy but after long time, his team finally had a breakthrough in his case

 

[Alleykins]

This is great news.

 

[Susikatze]

It would make my day. As genealogist, hobby sleuth and Jew.
It would be a milestone since he would be the first Ashkenazi Jew IDD by genetic genealogy.

I hope it is true and we will get to know his name. He deserves to come home and to get jewish burial.
In Jewish tradition if you say someones name, he lives on.
I hope we will learn it soon.

I just spoke w the ME. I can officially tell you all that after 22 years Jonesport John Doe has finally been IDENTIFIED! They are working on a press release this week. They are aiming for today or tomorrow but it might be next week. Family has been notified.

 

[Susikatze]

I am in tears. Finally coming home

 

[MarziPanda]

I'm so happy. His family knows where he is and he will have his name back! I hope what he has taught the researchers can be used in the future for more Ashkenazi Does.

Yes. I am waiting for the day the other Ashkenazi Does Reservation Road JD and Kern Co 2011 JD are coming home.

He was of partial Ashkenazi descent (i believe his mother was, father was German). They said the Ashkenazi side was tricky to solve. But i think he was idd via the German American side.
Much easier than someone fully Ashkenazi

What a bittersweet Christmas gift for his family. RIP, sir.

Or Hanukkah present

 

[Triss]

What a great way to end the year! 2022 was a great year for the Doe community.
RIP sir, you're finally going home.

 

[DS2021]

Maine OCME is open for another hour and forty minutes. Let's hope we get the announcement today!

I'm very glad to see him finally identified.

 

[Alleykins]

In addition to his name, I truly want to know how he ended up in the ocean.

I have a missing, distant non-blood relative who I've thought of as a possibility for Jonesport John Doe. He disappeared, and by some accounts, may have left a suicide note. I do not think a body was ever found. Unfortunately, remaining relatives who coud provide a DNA sample don't talk about him at all. He was a New Englander, and a member of a medical profession who deteriorated due to mental illness.

Whoever he is, it is time to give him a proper burial and put him to rest.

You should be getting an answer to that soon. We should be getting an announcement this week
