    624UFGA discovered on June 25, 1993 in Marietta, Georgia has been identified. However, her identity is not being released at this time, at the request of the agency and the family
 

Marietta Police Department and Cobb County Medical Examiner Team with Othram to Identify a 1993 Jane Doe​

In January 2022, the Marietta Police Department submitted forensic evidence to Othram in The Woodlands, Texas. Othram scientists successfully developed a DNA extract from the forensic evidence, and used Forensic-Grade Genome Sequencing® to build a comprehensive genealogical profile for the homicide victim. Othram’s in-house forensic genetic genealogy team then used this profile to conduct genetic genealogy research, ultimately providing new investigative leads to law enforcement.

Using this new information, a follow-up investigation was conducted leading investigators to potential relatives of the woman. This investigation led to the positive identification of the woman, who is now known to be Patricia Howard.

Patricia had relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1980, after spending most of her life in Los Angeles. As a chiropractor, she sought better job prospects and a lower cost of living. Patricia moved in with a friend in Atlanta, and her family in Los Angeles believed everything was going well. However, her father soon received a distressing call from her, urgently requesting money to cover her bills. He promptly sent the funds through Western Union, but Patricia never collected them. Concerned, her father contacted the local police in Atlanta, who initiated a missing person investigation. Eventually, the police discovered that her car had been impounded and she was never seen again.
