"Founded in 2017, the DNA Doe Project partners with law enforcement, medical examiners, and volunteer genealogists to apply investigative genealogy to John and Jane Doe cases. By analyzing DNA profiles and building family trees from publicly available genetic databases and historical records, the organization has helped solve more than 250 cases nationwide."
"Through the power of investigative genetic genealogy and the dedication of our volunteer genealogists, we were able to develop a critical lead in less than 24 hours. We truly hope that this identification brings long-awaited answers to Mr. Kuchinsky's family."
Warren Kuchinsky, born in 1952 and last seen alive in the mid-1970s, was identified through DNA analysis nearly 40 years after his skull was found in Bristol, New Hampshire woods in 1986. Initial investigators could not identify the remains at the time of discovery. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner partnered with the DNA Doe Project, a nonprofit organization specializing in forensic genetic genealogy, to solve the case. Kuchinsky's identity was confirmed through DNA testing of a surviving family member. No evidence of foul play was found. The DNA Doe Project, founded in 2017, has successfully solved over 250 cases nationwide by analyzing DNA profiles and building family trees from public genetic databases and historical records.
