Palm Beach County Jane Doe (1987) is now Identified

Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Teams with Othram to Identify a 1987 Jane Doe

dnasolves.com

After thirty six years, the remains of a woman found in Royal Palm Beach, Florida have been identified as Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida resident Pati Lisa Loguercio Rust.​

In September 2023, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office working with the District 15 Medical Examiner Office - Palm Beach County, submitted forensic evidence to Othram, in The Woodlands, Texas, in hopes that advanced DNA testing and forensic genetic genealogy could help generate new leads and identify the woman. Othram scientists used Forensic-Grade Genome Sequencing® to build a comprehensive DNA profile for the unknown woman. Othram’s in-house genealogy team used the DNA profile in conjunction with forensic genetic genealogy to produce new investigative leads, which were returned to investigators.

Using these new leads, a follow-up investigation was conducted, leading investigators to relatives of the unidentified woman. Confirmatory DNA testing was performed and has now enabled investigators to establish the identity of the unknown woman as Pati Lisa Loguercio Rust. Pati is believed to have last lived in the area of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea in Broward County, Florida in the late 1980s.
