We have two cases to announce today. This is the first one. We assisted Dr. Nici Vance from Oregon State Medical State Examiner's Office in identifying David West Jr., whose remains were found in 1989. The skeletal remains failed testing elsewhere and so it was especially exciting to see this case resolve! Leave no case behind!

How wonderful that the family can give a proper burial to this man. From the article, it seems as though the remains were likely so old and weathered that there could be nothing to test. It's good to hear this of success. I'm anxious to hear about the second success story for today.

Exactly. The remains were in terrible shape. This is why lab matters. The wrong lab methods can leave a case unsolved forever. The second case announces in about 3 hours... we will post an update unless someone on Websleuths beats us to it again ;)

What a huge success! Love to see the older cases come to light and assure the families they are not forgotten. This one seems like it was quite challenging but completely confident no challenge is to great for your team. In fact, y’all thrive on the more challenging cases.

Sending another ‘Job Well Done’ to you and your team at Othram.

Not finding a Doe thread or a missing thread for David on WS. I've had a good look. Unfortunately, he's got a name that's made up of pretty common parts, and the search isn't giving me anything relevant. If someone else finds him, all power to you! But at this point, I don't think he's ever been discussed here until today. Congratulations, @othram !

Sleep well, David.

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.

No threads that I can find for these women's cases, or for their suspected killer.

Sleep well, Lori.

Sleep well, Pearl.

Wow! Wonder how many more match that same MO in CA between ‘56-‘79.

Glad he has been outed even though he can’t be charged. Very good work.

We need to find out. This is what CODIS is for. This is why all unsolved sex assaults and homicides (with suspect profiles) should be uploaded to CODIS.
