Ohio 'John Doe' remains identified 31 years after discovery​

Advanced DNA technologies helped Pickaway County Sheriff's Office identify human remains found 31 years ago as Robert A. Mullins​


The Pickaway County, Ohio, sheriff and attorney general announced on Tuesday that human remains discovered 31 years ago have been identified as Robert A. Mullins of Columbus.

Hunters discovered the skeletal remains in a shallow grave next to a private farm on State Route 56 in Pickaway County, on Nov. 1, 1991.

"Thirty-one Christmases have gone by while this family waited for answers," Yost said in the press release. "When the results weren’t immediate and the case grew cool, Pickaway County law enforcement dug in their heels and kept trying until the evolution of DNA technology finally yielded an identity for John Doe."

scientists at the University of North Texas evaluated the remains in 2012 and determined the individual was a male.

Seven years later, the Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Ohio opened an unidentified human remains case after being asked for assistance by the coroner’s office. As a result, enough DNA from the bones was extracted for more advanced testing.

The focus was then turned to genetic genealogy in 2021 to identify who John Doe was. In January 2022, the sheriff’s and coroner’s offices had the DNA profile uploaded into DNA matching databases.

A strong lead on the identity of John Doe came through on Nov. 1, 2022, 31 years from the date that the remains were found.

Investigators consulted with Mullins’ family and obtained DNA samples, which provided the data needed to verify his identity.

"Mullins’ family reported that he went missing in late 1988 or early 1989 at age 21,"
