Two feet washed up on South Carolina beaches months apart. Now coroner has an ID

A right foot still inside a green and black running shoe was found off the coast of South Carolina last year. Five months later, county officials said, the left one surfaced in a different location.

Now officials believe they have positively identified the owner.

The feet belonged to 57-year-old Janet Robinson, who was last seen in August 2020, Charleston County Coroner Bobbi Jo O’Neal told reporters during a news conference broadcast by WCBD on Wednesday. O’Neal said it took months of “advanced level forensic science” using DNA testing to find an ID.

Wow. I had forgotten about all the feet.

Yes and it sounds like she may not have been an obvious choice to match to these remains, given the amount of information police are seeking. RIP Janet.

RIP Janet.

Also adding a big THANK YOU to the Othram team. They just make you have so much hope for future identifications.

(From the article above: "In June 2021, investigators sent evidence to Othram in hopes that advanced DNA testing and genetic genealogy might produce leads to the unknown person's identity. Othram used Forensic-Grade Genome Sequencing to generate a comprehensive genealogical profile of the remains. Othram's genealogy team produced leads that were returned in September 2021 to investigators.")
