are hoping to crowdsource a solution to a years-long mystery—the identity of the person whose remains washed up in pieces near Discovery Park in 2017 and 2018.
They’re hoping advances in DNA identification, and genetic genealogy in particular, can finally give a family out there some closure over what happened to their missing loved one. But the problem has been finding the money to pay for it. "We scoured a missing persons reports," said Norton. "It’s a mystery—we don’t know who this person is, we do not know what happened to this person, we don’t know where they came from, we don’t know how they ended up in the water."
"That’s where we take a DNA profile and search it through publicly-available genealogy websites in hopes of getting a link to a relative of the person that we’re trying to identify," explained Norton.
