[John/Jane Doe]

Thrilled to share that as part of a long-running collaboration with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, we helped investigators identify the 1990s killer of two Las Vegas women. It is unclear if he also committed other crimes against women, but we are grateful to have helped connect this suspect to at least these two crimes.

I hope they're looking at places he lived and similar murders. I doubt they were his only victims.

Happy to share we were able to assist the Clallam County Sheriff's Office in identifying Jerilyn L. Smith, who was reported missing in 2018. This case was a DNASolves crowdfund and we are so grateful to everyone that helped fund it!

According to the sheriff’s office, Othram Labs provided a list of surviving family members matching the identified DNA source to confirm the identity of the remains.

Clallam County detectives contacted one of those family members, who gave a DNA sample that was sent to Othram Labs for comparison. A short time later, Othram confirmed that the foot belonged to a Sequim woman.

Jerilyn L. Smith was reported missing on Jan. 7, 2018. She was 68 at the time of her disappearance, the sheriff’s office said.

“Surviving family members were grateful to the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, Othram Labs, and the citizens who generously crowdfunded the familial DNA work performed by Othram Labs.

“The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office would also like to thank all those who participated in funding the DNA research on this case that ultimately helped a family with having some semblance of closure during the grieved loss of their loved one,” the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

Crowdfunding for DNA testing led to the identification of human remains that were found on a Clallam County beach in 2021.
