We’re so close! will you help us cross the finish line?
Earlier last year, a headless skeleton was found buried in a shallow grave just off the road in Natchez, Mississippi. The man remains unidentified, and the local agency working this case does not have the funding needed to pursue advanced forensic DNA testing. Thanks to generous support from ALL OF YOU, we’ve already raised more than 65% of the funding goal, and we’ve started work on the case. Please help us get to the finish line!

Who is Natchez John Doe (2024)?
Mississippi Office of the State Medical Examiner and Othram Team to Identify 2024 John Doednasolves.com
A big thanks to all the hard-working people at Othram. You are all amazing.Honored that Othram could assist the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office in identifying a 1978 John Doe as Jessie Lee Williamson. His remains were found burned at a boat ramp—an effort to conceal the homicide. Burned remains are among the most challenging types of evidence for DNA analysis, but at Othram, we believe no case should ever be left behind.
