San Joaquin County Jane Doe (2018) is now Identified

Stockton Police Department, San Joaquin County Medical Examiner, and California DOJ Teams with Othram to Identify a 2018 Jane Doe

dnasolves.com

In 2022, the Stockton Police Department, the San Joaquin County Office of the Medical Examiner and the California Department of Justice partnered with Othram to determine if advanced forensic DNA testing could help establish an identity for the woman. Skeletal evidence was sent to Othram's lab, where Othram’s forensic scientists developed a DNA extract and used Forensic-Grade Genome Sequencing® to build a comprehensive DNA profile for the unknown woman. In addition, Othram’s in-house genealogy team used forensic genetic genealogy to produce investigative leads, which were returned to law enforcement. The casework completed at Othram was funded by the Roads to Justice (RTJ) program; we are grateful for the funding support in this case and previous cases.

Using these leads, investigators were able to confirm the identification of the woman as Jaymie Renee West, who was born September 21, 1989. West, who was reported missing in 2018, was listed on NamUs as a MP61521.

So her body was found not long after she was reported missing. They must’ve known it was her? With the tattoos, I would think so anyway.

It seems that it would be an easy one, doesn't it? Of only somebody would check a missing person's list when they find a body. This seems to happen often.
