What a great start to December! Four announcements just in the last two days. Stayed tuned for many more updates next week!

The three announcements yesterday were epic. I was happy to see Maritime JD identified even though the details of his situation were a bit disheartening. The loved ones left behind matter and deserve closure. I’m also hopeful for the identification of Elaine Armstrong’s murderer so she can truly RIP. Looking forward to the upcoming weeks as I’m certain many good things are brewing.

I always see your announcements on FB first. I encourage all in WS that follow Othram to join the FB group. Very supportive group of people, always positive and light hearted. Good Q&A and UID suggestions as well.

It will take money and time to identify him, but surely his DNA would not be nearly as degraded as a century-old sample. It's plausible that he might have living relatives much closer on the family tree, some of whom might have submitted their own DNA to databases. It's up to local authorities...

A stored DNA sample from his remains were sent to Othram, a private laboratory, which worked with Project Justice and law enforcement to collate a family tree based on commercial and criminal databases that led them to his long-lost relatives

Second case today!

Honored Othram could assist the Kentucky State Police in identifying a 1999 homicide victim as Roger Dale Parham. At the time of his death, Roger was wanted by the FBI. An investigation into his death continues. This case was funded by RTI, NamUs, and the NIJ. We are truly grateful for their support.
