After noticing the first bone, the workers continued searching the area – and found bone after bone, according to the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office. The recovered items were submitted to the Mohave County Medical Examiner’s Office for further investigation, but the detectives hit a dead end. Othram Inc.’s specialty in forensic genetic genealogy was the missing piece to this 15-year-old puzzle. In October, Mohave County investigators received a groundbreaking report concluding the John Doe was a descendant of Michigan-based ancestors born in the mid-1800s. The compilation of interviews and reference testing with the siblings confirmed the unidentified remains were Hietamaki, according to law enforcement.
