Collaborative Formed to Uncover Leads in the Vernon Arizona John Doe 2008 Case

February 7th, 2024

Branch Library, LLC is honored to collaborate once again with the Pima County (AZ) Office of the Medical Examiner and DNAhawkshaw Genetic Genealogy to utilize Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG) in generating leads towards the identification of Vernon Arizona John Doe 2008.

Discovered on October 24th 2008, the remains of this 35 to 50-year-old unidentified male were discovered in Vernon, Arizona. He has gone unidentified for over fifteen years. His cause of death is "undetermined", and therefore uncovering his identity may lead to clarification of the circumstances surrounding his fate. 

In a strategic alliance, a team of independent IGG analysts have partnered with Intermountain Forensics to leverage their newly established Law Enforcement DNA Testing Fund to cover lab costs. Generous donations from individual donors  directly supports this collaborative effort.
