Headless Outlaw’s Torso in Old Lava Tube Name of Submitter: Clark County Sheriff Bart May Location: Dubois, Idaho, U.S.A. Agency: Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Idaho Date of Crime: 1916 Date and Type of Hit: 2018-2019 (genetic genealogy to match with general family tree); 2018-2019 (familial match with living grandson to confirm family relationship) Executive Summary: 100-year-old unidentified human remains found in an old lava tube in 1979 leads to a cold case identification effort that lasts many years. However, his head was never located, baffling the FBI and other investigators for years. They could only establish that he was of European descent, with reddish-brown hair, and was about 40-years-old at the time of death. His arms, hand, and legs were found in 1991. Over the years, investigators enlisted the help of Idaho State University and its team of forensic genetic genealogists (anthropology students and staffers). This also included experts from the Smithsonian Institution and the FBI. Last year investigators further enlisted the help of the DNA Doe Project, hoping to use DNA and ancestral analysis to identify the man. Experts from Othram, a forensic DNA analysis company, analyzed samples taken from the remains, while a forensic genealogist from the DNA Doe Project worked with her colleagues to build a ‘genealogical tree’. The man’s DNA profile was then uploaded to various genetic genealogy DNA databases for relatives. This led to the man’s living 87-year-old grandson, whose sample was taken and tested to confirm a familial relationship.

  • Apache Junction Police Department in Arizona
    Bourgeois AJPD 1 My name is Officer Stephanie Bourgeois and I work for the Apache Junction Police Department in Arizona. The reason I decided to get into law enforcement was to help those in need and for me that means whether they are alive or dead. The mission of law enforcement is to protect and serve and that means even those who have passed away and especially those that remain without an identity or nameless. If selected for the Why We Serve funding, I would like to donate to the DNA Doe Project. I have worked for the department for almost 12 years but for the past 7 years I have been volunteering in the Cold Case Unit here at AJPD. Some investigators have that one case that always sticks with them and mine is our 1992 Jane Doe. She was located in the desert here in Apache Junction on August 6, 1992. She was approximately 16-18 years old and to this date, regardless of our efforts to identify her, she remains unnamed. In 2012, an exhumation order was written for Jane Doe and I was able to exhume her from a Potter’s Field in a cemetery in Superior, Arizona. The reason for this was to collect a DNA sample from her to be uploaded into the DNA database and to have a facial reconstruction completed. The FBI was able to complete the facial reconstruction and her DNA was uploaded into the DNA database but she remains unidentified. Her fingerprints were also previously uploaded into the national database but no hits have come from that.

  • Rethinking Difference in Music Scholarship
    Rethinking Difference in Music Scholarship Two decades after the publication of several landmark scholarly collections on music and difference, musicology has largely accepted difference-based scholarship. This collection of essays by distin- guished scholars is a major contribution to this field, covering the key issues and offering an array of individual case studies and methodologies. It also grapples with the changed intellectual land- scape since the 1990s. Criticism of difference-based knowledge has emerged from within and outside the discipline, and musicology has had to confront new configurations of difference in a changing world. This book addresses these and other such challenges in a wide- ranging theoretical introduction that situates difference within broader debates over recognition and explores alternative frame- works, such as redistribution and freedom. Voicing a range of perspectives on these issues, this collection reveals why differences and similarities among people matter for music and musical thought. olivia bloechl is Associate Professor in the Department of Musicology at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is the author of Native American Song at the Frontiers of Early Modern Music (Cambridge, 2008) and is writing a book on Opera and Politics in Old Regime France, which has been supported by an ACLS Charles A. Ryskamp Research Fellowship. melanie lowe is Associate Professor of Musicology at the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University. The author of Pleasure and Meaning in the Classical Symphony (2007), she is widely published on Haydn and other eighteenth-century subjects, topic theory, music in American media, teen-pop culture, and music history pedagogy. jeffrey kallberg is Professor of Music History and Associate Dean for Arts and Letters at the University of Pennsylvania.

Hall said DNA database research by the nonprofit, volunteer DNA Doe Project revealed some distant matches between the Kenosha County John Doe and others who appear to be descended from the relatively small Catawba Indian Nation. Hall encourages anyone who believes they recognize the John Doe to contact the Pleasant Prairie Police Department at 262-694-7353. “The DNA Doe Project has been instrumental in assisting multiple other agencies to positively identify their John and Jane Doe cases,” Hall said. “I am encouraged and hopeful that with this new information from the DNA Doe Project, that we may soon be able to identify our 1993 John Doe.” The body in question was spotted Aug. 27, 1993, by a photographer walking in the area of the Soo Line Railroad – now Canadian Pacific Railway – tracks just north of the Illinois state line and west of Highway H (88th Avenue). With the body in an advanced state of decomposition, investigators were unable to yield the identity of the decedent, and no additional leads in the case turned up.
