After 35 Years, Franklin County John Doe is Identified

Franklin County Coroner's Office and Ohio BCI Team with Othram to Identify a 1989 John Doe

dnasolves.com

"In November 1989, the remains of an unidentified man were found in Columbus, Ohio. The Columbus Police Department responded and began collecting evidence and investigating. Investigators recovered the remains which were found behind a fence approximately 500 feet off the roadway near 3001 Walcutt Road, in Franklin County, Ohio. The Franklin County Coroner's Office determined that the man was White, stood about 5' 7", and was likely 45 to 55 years old. He was wearing blue pants and a white belt. Despite a lengthy investigation, the man could not be identified and he became known as Franklin County John Doe (1989). Details of the case were entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) as UP14619.''

''Using this new information, a follow-up investigation was conducted leading investigators to potential relatives of the man. Reference DNA samples were collected from a relative and compared to the DNA profile of the unidentified man. This investigation led to the positive identification of the man, who is now known to be Ernest Emerson Carter, who was born in 1923. Very little is known about Carter’s life or death.

Othram's casework costs were funded by The Porchlight Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that offers funding for DNA testing and genetic genealogy for Ohio cold cases. We are grateful for their support.''
