The identity of 'Lincoln County Jane Doe' remained a mystery for over 40 years.
A decades-old cold case has been solved after detectives were able to identify a body found in 1978 as that of a missing Iowa teenager. Police said the body of 'Lincoln County Jane Doe' was found in 1978. The remains were found in the Mississippi River, near Elsberry, Missouri, the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. An autopsy determined that the body was that of a White woman, believed to be between 30 and 40 years old, who had died by drowning.
The university participants sent samples from the remains to Othram, a private DNA laboratory, for DNA extraction. The company was able to use forensic-grade genome sequencing, which allows a DNA profile to be formed from just a small sample. The genome sequencing allowed Othram's genealogy team to 'generate new leads' with a 'comprehensive genealogical profile,' police said.
