The Doe Identify Podcast

04/03/2024

Finally published a new episode! It's a short one.

In this episode, we cover two people who were likely homeless at the time of their deaths– Preacher Man and Victoria Jane Doe.
On November 8th 2010, in Tampa, Florida, a homeless man went looking for his fellow homeless friend whom he hadn’t heard from in five to six months. He checked the woods where his friend resided and he made an unfortunate discovery. He found his friend diseased in his camp area and called the police. It’s estimated he had been dead for a few days before his body was found.
The diseased man was known as Mike or Preacher Man to his friends, but no one knew his legal name. He was between 5’5 and 5’9 and was only 90 to 105 pounds, which is very underweight. He was between 50 and 60 years old and had 2 inch long gray hair.
For our second case, on November 11, 2022, there was a fire in Downtown Victoria, in British Columbia, Canada. Although firefighters and police believe the fire was not set on purpose, someone did unfortunately lose their life in it.
Once the flames were extinguished, first responders found a deceased woman. Authorities believe the woman was homeless and used the building as shelter. Unfortunately, the devastation of the fire has made it difficult to identify her by her physical appearance. She could have been between the ages of 20 and 60 years old and was anywhere between 176 and 395 pounds, or 80 to 179 kilograms. She had blue glittery toenail polish on at the time of her death.
Tune into this episode to hear their stories.

I just hit publish on a brand new episode edited by my friend at Jack Billings Presents: Haunted Apartment Complex on The PodMoth network ! This episode is not about a victim, so all profits from affiliate purchases from this episode will go to the DNA Doe Project cases I covered in my last episode.

November 24th, 1971, was the night before Thanksgiving for us in the States. At the Portland International Airport in Oregon, a man purchased a one-way ticket to Seattle-Tacoma Airport for $20 in cash with the name Dan Cooper. The plane was Northwest Orient Airlines flight 305, a 727.

This man was described as a middle-aged white male with a dark complexion. He had dark hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. The report of his height varies between 5’10 and 6’1 depending on the source. He was between 170 and 175 pounds and was wearing either a black or brown suit, a white shirt, brown shoes, black sunglasses, and a black trenchcoat. His luggage consisted of a brown paper bag and a briefcase. He had no accent to the people on the flight, which in the States, often indicates a West Coast accent.

He later hijacked the plane and stole $200,000. He parachuted out of the plane and was never seen again. He is now one of the U.S.'s most notorious criminals.

I just hit publish on a brand-new episode! I'm so sorry I have been away for two months! So much has been going on in my personal and business life. For those who don't know, I own a media company, and sometimes life gets crazy! Anyways...

This episode is a special one because I have selected four active DNA Doe Project cases. Our previous fundraising episodes have greatly impacted the organizations with all of your support, so I figured we would do another one, this time supporting the DNA Doe Project. The best of the best ❤️

On this episode, I cover the Smith County Jane Doe (1985), the Three Points John Doe (1988), the Pond Jane Doe from the Granite Site, and the Little Lost Seabrook Doe. The latter two do not have renderings yet.

All profits from this episode will be divided amongst the episodes evenly, and I will confirm the deposit on my Stories as always. If one episode touches you specifically, I encourage you to make a tax-deductible donation to them directly.

Thank you all for your patience and support! ❤️

Brand new episode just published! This case is quite compelling, so it's a stand-alone this week.

Varinder Singh is the name of an unclaimed man found in the River Thames at Ballast Quay. This young man, who was 25 to 30 years old, was likely Asian, specifically Indian, and had short black hair, brown eyes, and a medium build. He was 173 to 183 centimeters, which is 5’8 to 6’0. He had two tattoos, one on his right arm that said Kamal and one on his right hand that was 984 or 786.

He was found with an Italian driver’s license and a National Health Service card with the name Varinder Singh. His license photo is used in the episode art. He was also found with a TV license card and a T-mobile top-up card.

If you know who this young man could be or know his family, please submit a tip to the U.K. Missing Persons team.

Listeners, I came across this case and I feel she deserves more attention, but I cannot cover this case because I cannot stomach telling her story. I'm so sorry. Please look at her case if you recognize her face or are missing a loved one who was 14-19 in 2010. DNA shows she has distant relatives in Mexico. https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1431ufca.html

Hi everyone! I'm back with a new episode. This one was exceptionally hard for me to prepare and record, so please excuse my shaky voice at the end.

First off, I want to announce that all profit from this episode will be going to Safe Haven Baby Boxes. I truly feel that if the mother of Baby Wyatt knew about the Safe Haven Law, he could be a thriving three-year-old today in a loving home. Safe Haven Baby Boxes is an organization that creates boxes to assist mothers participating in actions protected under the Safe Haven Law. They also work to spread awareness about this important law that is recognized by all 50 states, D.C., Guam, and Puerto Rico. Donations will be made in Wyatt's honor. 🖤

For our first case, I cover a young girl who was picked up in Perry, Oklahoma with her guitar, her birth certificate, and a coin purse by serial killer Ronald Lamphear. Along with his girlfriend, Diana Geisinger, they rode together until they got to Guadalupe County, New Mexico. This is where her body was found on the side of I-40, Route 74.

She was wearing blue jeans and a blue halter-style vest with jewelry that’s described as Native American in style. She also had dark brown moccasin shoes, which are also a Native American style. The medical examiner describes her as white with curly, (possibly dyed) blonde hair and blue eyes.

Our second case is about a baby that investigators lovingly named Wyatt. On March 26, 2020, at the height of COVID, an infant was found along a water bank in the Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, Tennessee by a fisherman. The baby had only been deceased for 24 hours and he was so young that we only know he was 34 weeks gestational age, which means that he was born very early and didn’t even have a chance to develop past that point. All we really know about him is that he had thick curly hair and was white, and was only found with a black plaid shirt around his head.

I am so excited to have partnered with this organization to bring this episode because their mission is so important – To help identify and solve the cases of deceased and missing service members.

On this episode, we got together to chat about a man known as the Paratrooper John Doe. On May 26, 1984, a young man was found in a canal in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This young man was white and between 21 and 30 years old. He had only been deceased for one day. He had light brown hair and was 5’9. Head brown eyes and had two distinctive tattoos.

One of his tattoos, located on his right arm says U.S. Paratroopers, joined by an image with a skull with a red beret, which signifies this is a U.S. Army tattoo specifically. He also had a tattoo on his left forearm that said Born to Fly Free with a pegasus above it (shown in photo).

If any of you have information, even if it’s just about his tattoos, please contact the Fort Lauderdale Police Department at 954-764-4357. Agency case number 84-73082.

Just hit publish on a new episode! Here's some brief information on these two men:

A man named "Joe" tragically met his demise while walking in the Euclid Creek Reservation in South Euclid, Ohio on May 8th, 1981. Accompanied by three other individuals, he, unfortunately, fell off a cliff.

Joe, a Caucasian male, had thin brown hair, possibly indicating hair loss. His brown eyes had lighter shades, and he had a beard and mustache. He stood at 5'7" tall and weighed 146 pounds, with a slender build.

Among his belongings, Joe was discovered with suntan oil, two bottles of bonnie bell lotion, ultra brite toothpaste, a green toothbrush, two Bic razors, four cleansing wipes, and a plastic vial. These items were found alongside a Lee brand blue denim jacket.

He wore a Grodins Brand plaid flannel shirt in blue, brown, tan, and white, along with tan Levi Strauss pants. His medium-sized brown vinyl jacket was from the L'avion brand, and he accessorized with a large-sized brown belt by Anne Klein. His footwear included orange ankle boots in size 8.5.

Regrettably, on July 26, 1981, an individual was observed tragically leaping to their demise from the Detroit-Superior bridge. The specific location of this incident was approximately 100 feet south of Merwin Avenue.

Limited information is available about this individual. We know that he was a Caucasian male, estimated to be between 45 and 55 years old. He stood at 5'10" and weighed 143 pounds. He had long brown straight hair, and despite being described as hazel, his eyes appear blue in post-mortem images.

It appears that he was missing at least two front teeth, and potentially more towards the back. This suggests a lack of access to dental care for several years, possibly even decades.

He wore a small-sized blue quilted jacket from K Mart, along with a light blue, green, and beige flannel shirt. His pants were plaid flannel in shades of brown, blue, gray, and white. Interestingly, he had mismatched socks—one blue and one black—with a potential third sock layered beneath the blue one. Blue Converse shoes were found, but the size is unspecified.

We're finally back! Thank you to everyone for being so patient as I have moved to a new state! Thank you to the network members especially!

Our new episode covers two unidentified women from England– The Bedgebury Forest Woman and the Baldock Jane Doe.

The Bedgebury Forest Woman is the name of a woman found in the Bedgebury Forest, which is South of London, on October 23, 1979. She was found in a homemade dress that had been tailored significantly. She was likely between 30 and 35 years old and had brown, straight, shoulder-length hair, and hazel eyes. She was 5'1 and had a thin build. Investigators believe she was a mother and she was unfortunately pregnant at the time of her death. A trial has taken place for her murder, where Harry Pennells was found not guilty.

The Baldock Jane Doe, also known as the Girl in the Afghan Coat, was a young woman who was hit by a car on the A507 highway near London on February 18, 1975. She was hitchhiking, trying to get to London. A couple believes her name was Odile Ludic, a French student that stayed with them for six months. This woman was between 7 and 25 years old, was 5'3 to 5'4, and had blonde hair with hazel eyes.

If you know who either of these women are, please contact the UK Missing Persons Unit.

New episode out now about two men (one could possibly be a child). These cases are both from 2010, so please take a look at their stories and faces.

Honolulu County John Doe:
On September 28, 2010, construction workers were working on a residential property in the Manoa area. As the construction workers were breaking up concrete, they unfortunately found a sock with what looked like a skeletonized human foot. Investigators believe the man has been dead since the 1980s. He was 5 feet 9 inches, which is about 175 centimeters. We aren’t sure what his hair color was for some reason. We do know this John Doe likely had some type of degenerative disease, specifically DISH. He also had this degeneration in the sacroiliac joint and extraspinal area. He had a well-developed maxillary torus along the midline of his mouth palate. We also know he was a bit older at 40 to 57 years old and he was white.

Rockdale County John Doe:
On December 17, 2010, skeletal remains were found near a vacant house off Salem Road behind the Ingles Market shopping center in Conyers, Georgia. The autopsy discovered that this was a young African American male who had died around eight months prior. His age range was unfortunately as young as 14 to 27 years old. He was 5’5 to 5’10 and his hair color was black. His eye color is unknown because of the level of decomposition.

A new episode is out! (I actually published a few days ago but didn't have a chance to post on socials). Thank you all for your patience as I took time off from my surgery. I chat a bit about it at the end of the episode.

This episode, I cover two DNA Doe Project cases. Here is some information on them both:

*Grays Harbor Jane Doe*
On October 24, 1988 mushroom hunters were exploring the woods of a logging area in Elma, Washington State. As they looked for mushrooms, this group of explorers eventually stumbled upon skeletal remains. These remains ended up belonging to a young woman.

When police arrived on scene, they found a gunshot wound in the woman’s skull. At the time of her death, this young woman was likely in her 20s, but could have been as old as 40 years old. She was pretty short at 4 foot 10 to 5 foot 2, or 147 to 157 centimeters. She was around 100 pounds at the time of her death. She also had dark brown hair. Her #18 and #19 teeth were extracted, and she had an amalgam filling in her #20 tooth. This is that metallic filling. All of these teeth are on the lower left of your jaw. The rest of her dentals are available.

*Pima County Jane Doe*
On June 29, 2010 in Eloy, Arizona, a police officer attempted to pull over a van, but the van’s driver decided to evade police. Later that day, they discovered the van and the driver on a dirt road near a canal. The man took police officers to where he said he and the woman jumped in after climbing a fence. He said she never came back up. The next morning, her body was found in the same canal.

This Jane Doe was very young at just 17 to 25 and was 5’4, or 162.5 centimeters. She was Hispanic, and after looking at her post-mortem image, I completely agree. She had brown eyes and her lips were on the thinner side. She had quite a few freckles, including one above her left eyebrow above the arch.

Please share their faces if you are in any group or forums near these locations! Thank you all for your amazing support!

This week's podcast episode is about two Jane Does from the beautiful country of Canada. Here is some basic information about these two women and their stories.

The Mossleigh Jane Doe is the only name we have for a woman found in Mossleigh, Alberta, Canada. Mossleigh is an extremely small and rural town with a population of just over 50 people. The county Mossleigh is in, which is Vulcan County, has under 4,000 people. Investigators found that the remains belonged to a female and had been deceased for one to five years. She had a healed fracture to her right cheekbone. She also had a button osteoma on the right side of her forehead.

This woman also had several missing teeth and likely wore an upper denture. She also could have had arthritis and neck pain during her life. She was between 5’2 and 5’6. She could have been anywhere from 40 and 80 years old. They believe she was either white or first nations for her ethnicity.

The Clarington Jane Doe was found in Bowmanville, Ontario on October 27, 2006. Just like our first case, this woman was found by a farmer who was harvesting dogwood plants in a marshy field. This was near the South Service Road and Holt Road, near the entrance Darlington Nuclear Plant. They confirmed she was very young, just between 18 and 25 years old. The most unique quality about this woman was her teeth. She had protruding teeth and her upper teeth were more noticeable. Her jaws were also very narrow. One of her front teeth was slightly wider than the other. She also had white fillings on her front teeth, along with silver fillings in her back teeth.

This Jane Doe also had a healed fracture on her face, but hers was on her nose. They aren’t sure if this was from an injury or from a rhinoplasty, but they do know she had some type of fracture. They also found that her bones looked like she could have been anemic.

Thank you for listening to these two women's stories.

New episode alert! Here's some information about these two Does:

The Galveston County John Doe is the name of a younger man of African descent who was discovered on the Galveston Beach in Texas on Mother’s Day, May 10th, 2020. He was 16 to 35, and was on the shorter side, at 5’7, or 170 centimeters. He was around 144 pounds at the time of his death and appeared to be in good physical shape. His eyes were decomposed after being in the water for some time, but they were likely dark. He was found with Under Armor slides on his arms, which many people, including investigators, believe were used as a flotation device. He also had black, generic swim trunks on and black Calvin Klein briefs underneath.

In Stourbridge, England on April 18, 1943, four young boys were looking for bird's eggs for food on a private property called the Hagley Woods. They came across the skeleton of a woman stuffed into a Wych Elm tree. The woman was around 35 years old and had been dead for at least 18 months. The skeleton had no signs of injury, and it was determined she died from asphyxiation. She was found with a gold ring, one blue shoe with crepe soles, a cloth skirt, peach-colored taffeta, and light brown hair. Based on these articles, they believed she was of German or Dutch descent. Her jaw had a deformity and her teeth were fairly crooked.

Brand new episode!

In my episode back from my break, I wanted to cover two very interesting cases, and I have that for you!

This episode covers two cases of unidentified people, also knowns as Does. First, we discuss the Onondaga County John Doe, a man who was found in the Oswego River near the town of Syracuse, New York. The man was held down by two cinder blocks from a local business in an effort to hide his body. He was 130 to 140 pounds, was 5'10 (177.8 cm), had medium-length brown hair, and had no tattoos or scars. Most people believe he was Italian because he had two Italian charms being the Co***to and an Italian Mano.

Second, we cover the case of a homeless woman who went by the name Ah. Ah lived in Honolulu, Hawaii for nearly 20 years in the Ala Moana Park. She had severe schizophrenia and was between the ages of 64 and 75. She ended up passing away of natural causes at the Lihue State Hospital. One unique thing about her was that she was an avid reader.
