Doe-Nate Fund Goal: 

This case is in need of funding to help cover the costs involved in solving it. Funds donated pay for expensive lab work and operational support of our volunteer team of investigative genetic genealogists. DNA Doe Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Description: 

In 1987, the cranium of a likely young adult male of European ancestry was examined by an anthropologist who noted that the remains had probably been outside for 2-10 years. The remains were recovered the year before, but records of the exact location have been lost. In 2023, a dentist who radiographed the cranium confirmed the teeth are those of a younger person (though over 18 years old).
