Othram - General Discussion - #3

[othram]

@othram brilliant job! I like that you post here. I had to stop getting updates from your FB page, it morphed into a location where people post every single case in existence, including those being worked by other companies. Sadly this means Othram solves and fundraisers get pushed down the feed very quickly.

The app keeps it more focused. Just case solve announcements!

We welcome feedback on how to make the app better!

I don't think this Doe has a thread yet, from what I can tell.

''On March 14, 2024, skeletal remains were discovered by an officer beneath a pile of leaves in a shallow grave in Natchez, Mississippi.

An ID card found near the remains suggests the individual may have been a 70-year-old male, but no official identification has been made.

The case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) as UP124871. Despite...

With the end of Australian Federal Police (AFP) funding for the program to identify the backlog of unidentified remains in Australia, does this mean @othram no longer has an AFP/Othram program? Will you still be gracing our sunny shores periodically?

I saw the funding information mentioned in an article a few days ago www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-01/independent-forensics-laboratory-identify-remains-missing-people/104923390

I'm not finding an existing thread for Moses. I don't know if he ever had a NamUs page, but his Doe Network page, which lists his New York doe number, is here: 2352UMNY

Instead of choosing to leave her healthy baby boy at a church, hospital, fire department, police station, or on the doorstep of a home in a nice neighborhood, she chose to smother and burn him before leaving his tiny body beneath the statue of the Biblical figure Moses in a park. How ironic, considering Moses’s mother saved his life by strategically hiding him where he would be found by the royal family and hopefully adopted. Was mommy dearest even aware of this connection?

No excuses. MOO.

If I were to get my DNA profile via 23 & Me (or whatever), where is the best place(s) to upload that information to potentially help?

EDIT: Nevermind, I ordered a kit through Othram.

''On September 7, 1997, city workers found the body of a newborn wrapped in a charred cloth near the Moses statue in Albany, New York's Washington Park. The baby, later called “Baby Moses” by investigators, weighed 9 pounds and 3 ounces. It was determined that Baby Moses was been born alive and healthy. There were no signs of injury or natural health conditions that could have caused his death. Despite extensive investigative efforts, no leads surfaced, and the case went cold''.
