Mission Statement
DNA Doe Project uses investigative genetic genealogy to resolve cases of Jane and John Doe unidentified remains in partnership with law enforcement, medical examiners, and coroners across North America.
About This Cause
DNA Doe Project is a trailblazer in the development and deployment of investigative genetic genealogy (IGG). We ensure every Doe has an opportunity to be identified, regardless of circumstance. In the United States alone, there are over 50,000 sets of unidentified human remains. These individuals come from different time periods, geographies, and walks of life, but they all share one thing: they deserve to have their name back. It is this truth that drives our team of highly trained volunteer investigative genetic genealogists to provide resolution in these unsolved cases across every community. We’ve developed our programs to ensure that all Does are considered for identification, regardless of community or agency funds. We pursue many types of cases that have been deemed intractable because of degraded DNA, age of the individual, or destruction of ancestry records. We prioritize cases that require extensive detective work, and work diligently to make sure historically underrepresented and marginalized communities are given equal care, attention, and resources. Our research models, methodologies, and processes have [helped] set the standard for how work is done across our industry. We collaborate closely with law enforcement agencies, communities, and individuals so that every investigation has the resources it needs to move forward. In just a few years, we’ve identified more than 120 Does. And that’s only the beginning. We’re on a mission to restore the names to the unidentified human remains in every community.
