Hennepin County Jane Doe "Susan Watkins" Identified Through Forensic Genetic Genealogy​

Identifinders International is pleased to have assisted the Hennepin County Medical Examiner to identify the remains of a 1996 Jane Doe formerly known as "Susan Watkins". "Susan" has been positively identified as Sally Green.

In 2022, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's office partnered with Identifinders International to find Susan's real identity. Through crowdfunding, Identifinders was able to raise enough funds through our Daniel Paul Armantrout Memorial Fund to extract and sequence her remains. In April of 2023, a lead was generated by Senior Forensic Genetic Genealogist Misty Gillis, that the true name of the decedent was Sally Green. Her identity was confirmed in September of 2023.

Sally Green was born in Daytona Beach, Florida and lost touch with her family at some point in the 1970's. Not much is known about her whereabouts up to the time of her death.

According to Alex Verdoorn of the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, "Our office has been working on this case for many years, and thanks to the great people at Identifinders, we were able to make a positive identification and locate her family".

"This was an intriguing case. Even though we have identified Sally Green, there is so much more that is still unknown about her and what led to her death," said Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick, President of Identifinders. "We are pleased that we have been able to work with the Hennepin County Medical Examiner identify her".
