After almost 60 years, forensic genetic genealogy has identified the remains of a woman found in Tiburon, California, as Dorothy Jean Williams. Discovered in December 1966, her body showed signs of having been there for months. Initially referred to as 'Marin County Jane Doe,' authorities were unable to confirm her identity at that time. Recent advances in DNA testing now clarify that she was from Tasmania and had been reported missing shortly before her death. This breakthrough provides closure to her family, who had long sought answers.
From the perspective of the family of this woman, she just disappeared and they may have thought they'd never know where she went, but now, almost 60 years later, they know the truth.
Unidentified, she was known for decades only as the 'Marin County Jane Doe'. Now, thanks to the information revealed by genetic testing, we know that Williams... was originally from Tasmania in Australia.
