This page summarizes major developments being processed with unidentified and missing individuals.
November 2018
Snohomish County John Doe
A male whose partial remains were discovered in January 1978. Following an exhumation in 2018, it was discovered the man wore a shirt reading "Prescott Horace," a strong indication the decedent was Horace "Jack" Prescott, missing since 1976. A recently created forensic rendering provided a resemblance to the missing man. DNA testing is underway.
January 2019
El Dorado Jane Doe
An identity theft murdered in Arkansas by her boyfriend in 1991. In early 2019, a forensic genealogist (not affiliated with the DNA Doe Project or Parabon) announced a match to potential family members. Those who responded were unable to recall the victim, yet described a familial resemblance.
February 2019
Rock County John Doe
A male presumed to have died accidentally near Clinton, Wisconsin in 1995. His case was taken by the DNA Doe Project, who announced his tentative identification after several months. Law enforcement has yet to comment on this.
July 2019
Miss Molly
A woman found beaten and drowned in Salina, Kansas in 1986. 33 years after her death, her dental records were found to be similar to that of Anna Neeft, last seen in Canada two years before the murder. DNA comparison is underway.

A male who committed suicide in a cave along the Appalachian Trail. His dental information was reported to have similarities with missing men from Florida and Illinois. Eventually, his unmarked burial location was rediscovered and exhumed for DNA.
September 2019
Long Beach John Doe
A male strangled and left on a street in Long Beach, California in 1978. On the forum Websleuths, a woman commented, confidently believed the victim was her estranged foster brother. He reportedly left their residence after suffering abuse. The foster brother is not listed in any databases, indicating he was unreported missing. It is unknown if law enforcement has acknowledged the tip. As the woman is not a biological relative, DNA would be difficult to obtain.
