SOLANO COUNTY – The Solano County Sheriff's Office has launched the Doe Cold Case Project, focusing on unsolved crimes in the county where the victim's body has never been identified. New eyes and new technology are leading to new discoveries already within the department. In its first success story, the sheriff's office announced Wednesday that the project has identified a body they pulled from the Miner Slough in Rio Vista in 2001 as Craig Ott of Sacramento . 'I just miss him.
'Unfortunately, the technology at the time just wasn't to the standard that it is today to be able to obtain a useable DNA sample,' said Jessica Dew, a Solano County deputy sheriff and coroner investigator. Dew in 2022 pitched the idea for a new cold case unit to her bosses at the department, who loved the idea. 'I started going through some of our old records and learned that we had 23 John and Jane Does dating back to 1963,' Dew said.
