Hey folks:

I know for a little bit, everyone has been following my case on the unidentified torso that was discovered in Columbia County, FL in 1994. Here is another case that I have been also paying close attention to. In fact, this was the first John Doe case I followed since I was a young sleuther.

It's always amazing to me when you can take remains that are so degraded and still extract a workable DNA profile. Separating human DNA from bacteria, from animal dna, even from accidental human contamination from the investigators themselves! The science is incredible.

If you missed Episode 3 of Trace Identity, now’s the time to watch. The story of a young girl known (for decades) only as “Baby Girl” is one of the most powerful examples of how modern forensic DNA testing is helping restore identities and provide families with answers.

The first three episodes of Trace Identity have now been watched for more than 190,000 hours, and we are just getting started.

The videos are all really interesting and very well done. Highly recommend watching!

Think about this for a moment…

A missing person may have already been found, but we would never know it.

In many human remains cases, time and geography make identification incredibly difficult. People go missing in one state and are found years later somewhere else. Traditional forensic tools often fail to connect those cases. CODIS mostly misses identities for human remains.

Today, FGG can identify many of these victims and finally give them their names back but these methods still are not widely used in many cases due to funding, awareness, and access.
