I don't think Brian has a Doe thread, not under his NamUs number, anyway.

Is the link meant to read 2023? Because the further description says 2003.

A passerby discovered the remains on Nov. 30, 2003, on I-275 near the railroad track. Recovery and examination of the corpse was led by the Knoxville Police Department and an anthropology team from the University of Tennessee.
After a DNA sample was submitted in 2008 to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, the forensic center took possession of the remains in 2017. In 2022 the remains were matched by Othram, a company specializing in cold cases through DNA analysis and genealogy.
“We work diligently every day to try to identify every decedent and connect them with their next of kin, regardless of how long they’ve been here,” Chris Thomas, the Center’s Chief Administrative Officer, said. “We want the families to have closure.”

Man's remains identified almost 21 years after being found by train tracks on I-275

The remains were identified as Brian A. Sanderson.

Not seeing a Doe thread for Jesse. He's a pretty recent case, and without a NamUs number, it's unlikely he had one. Someone else might have better luck.
