THE FORTUNA REDUX FOUNDATION
Research assistance for Non-profit Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy organizations worldwide, providing data and intelligence to law enforcement in forensic investigations and to civil authorities.
Resources
If you would like to assist in ongoing cases, either by contributing funds towards testing or by submitted your own DNA to databases authorized for use by Law Enforcement Agencies, you can find several helpful links below.
DNA Doe Project
The DNA Doe Project was founded in 2017 as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation with a simple humanitarian mission: to identify John and Jane Does using investigative genetic genealogy. On March 5, 2018 we solved our first case – Robert Ivan Nichols, the John Doe previously known as Joseph Newton Chandler III. On April 11, 2018, we joined local authorities at a press conference in Troy, Ohio to identify the young woman known as ‘Buckskin Girl’ as Marcia L. King – the first time in history that the world learned of the power of investigative genetic genealogy to solve cold case identifications.
