Someone at the Coroner's office was organizing a storage closet and found the jaw bones. They also found the remains of more than 50 other unidentified decedents found from 1966-2001. All of these remains (including our Jane Doe's jaw bones) have been sent to the California DOJ for DNA extraction.

On June 13, 2025, the victim was finally identified as 30-year-old Karl Brian Hooten of Vilonia. The photograph may have been provided by the family after he was identified, and might have been taken years before he died.

I guessed about '75 based on hair and clothing and filmstock, and that he looked about fifteen, so I was bang on right. I'm guessing it's a school photo from a prom or maybe a wedding.
