The Dean and Tina Linn Clouse Memorial Fund underwrites the DNA identifications of John and Jane Doe cases at no cost to overburdened law enforcement agencies. 

On January 14, 1981 the remains of a young man and woman were discovered in a densely wooded area off Wallisville Road in Houston, Texas. With no clues as to their who they were and little to go on, the trail went cold and remained that way for another 40 years. Harris County law enforcement called them ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and when the internet exploded with Doe websites and true crime Wikis with the advent of the internet, they were soon called ‘The Harris County Does.’

Forty-one years later through the science of whole genome sequencing and genetic genealogy, Dean and Tina Linn Clouse were identified and their families got the unimaginable answer to their disappearance decades earlier. When their infant daughter who disappeared with them was found alive and well a few months later on what would be her father's 63rd birthday, the families set out to do something to help others. 

Your donation will help bring answers like the Clouse-Casasanta and Linn families received to another family missing a loved one.
