Case History

11/18/1985, a hunter found a human skull off State Route 606 in Allegheny County, Virginia.​

 

[CarlK90245]

As of this moment, there are 593 Rule-outs for this Jane Doe Skull.

However, Virginia Alice Welch is not one of them.

https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/1173/0

Just based on the location, she would seem to be a very good candidate for comparison. She was LKA in Roanoke. Blue Ridge Highway (State Rte 606) is only about 20 miles out of Roanoke.

The status of her DNA profile is: Initial Inquiry Underway. And there are no dentals on the Jane Doe.

So it doesn't look like they would be able to do a comparison as of now.

 

[CarlK90245]

Kimberly Jane Britts is also not listed among the 593 rule-outs.

http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/b/britts_kimberly.html

But she only has dentals available. No DNA.

Her loc LKA (Charlottesville) is much farther away, so I say that Virginia Welch is a stronger possible.

593 rule outs... wow.

Thirty years after unidentified skeletal remains were found on the banks of the Jackson River, Alleghany County authorities have finally put a name on the case.

The remains are those of 17-year-old Michael Dean Perdue, who was reported missing in May 1985, authorities say.

Now that I look at this, I'm not sure the above is the same case. Sorry for any confusion.

Unidentified Person Case

Updated Namus. There are now 918 ruleouts, including Virginia Welch and Kimberly Britts.

 

[Melt71]

Namus now says this white female UID was aged 35-75 (originally said 20-49). The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

 

[iulia]

The NamUs page for this UID is down.

 

[Friday Fan]

The NamUs page for this UID is down.

Hmmm....

Sometimes they are down because well, it's just plain old "resolved" (Example: stolen from a medical school etc, identified decades ago, but for some reason a namus file was created)

Sometimes they are down because they are recently identified.

Maybe this was Michael after all?

Allegheny County Jane Doe has been unidentified for 37 years.

I thought the other set of remains was Michael Perdue?

 

[DS2021]

I thought the other set of remains was Michael Perdue?

I don't think so. His remains were found in March 1986. These remains were found in Nov 1985

Are the rule outs still there ? I looked but I am not great with that site.

No. I'm Apt to believe the 1st uid (the one this thread is for) has been Identified, and this is the 2nd set of remains found commingled
