Episode 66 DOE ID 'Millie Doe' Ruth Waymire
On June 20th, 1984, the dismembered body of a woman was found by a group of fishermen in the Spokane River in Spokane, Washington. It was clear to authorities that the woman had been murdered, and her killer went to great lengths to ensure she could not be identified removing her hands, feet, and head. Investigators had little to go on and few clues to work with. They knew that the woman they later called 'Millie Doe' had given birth to a child less than two years before she was killed, but not much else. Years later, Millie Doe's skull was found four miles away from the spot in the river where her torso had been discovered. A Sketch of Millie Doe was created and released to the public hoping someone would come forward to ID her, but it didn't happen. Years later in 2021, DNA & genealogy revealed that 'Millie Doe' was in fact, Ruth Belle Waymire who would was 24 when she died. Ruth's family had lost touch with her, but records showed that she had married a man named Trampas D.L. Vaughn in Wenatchee Washington who died in Sutter County, CA in 2017. There was no indication that Vaughn and Ruth ever divorced. Since Vaughn never reported Ruth missing, and because the killer went to great lengths to ensure that police could not ID her body, investigators believe that Trampas D.L. Vaughn could be Ruth's killer, but their investigation is continuing, and they need help filling in the blanks. Trampas D.L. Vaughn also went by David Lee William Vaughan. If you know anything about him, or Ruth, please contact Sgt Zac Storment at the Spokane Police Department at 509-242-TIPS
Millie Doe' finally has her name again; it's Ruth Waymire, and this is her story.

Episode 108 Eric Goldstrand and Lliana Adank Part 1 of 2
When 16 year old high schoolers Eric Goldstrand and Lliana Adank were shot to death in at the popular Fall Creek recreation area in June 1977, residents of the teens’ hometown of Eugene, Oregon were shocked and devastated. There were hundreds of witnesses, tips, and leads… a surplus of information that led investigators nowhere. Suspect after suspect failed to pan out, and the case went cold for years, then decades. Extensive investigation into similar campground murders of couples also led nowhere. Finally, a cold case detective determined to solve the murders was able to employ forensic genealogy to identify a potential suspect, who was alive and living in another state. Investigators closed in on him, but he knew they were coming.

Doe:ID Jeffrey Kimzey
Episode 107 Doe:ID Jeffrey Kimzey
On April 15, 1997, a young boy in Union Grove, Alabama decided to skip school and go fishing at his favorite spot off of Eagle Rock Drive. When he got to his spot, he made a gruesome discovery. He found a decomposing body in the water, and raced home to tell his parents. Police responded to the scene, and when they retrieved the body from the water, the gruesome find became even more shocking. The body, which belonged to a man, had been mutilated. His hands, feet, and head had been removed. In addition, his heart had also been taken. It was believed that he had been shot or stabbed to death.There was no ID with the body, and in the days before DNA, there wasn't much that the authorities could do to identify the man. Their best guess was that he was a White male between 20 and 30 years old, who weighed about 150 pounds and was five feet, nine inches tall. Since police had no missing men in that area who fit that description, they believed he was traveling through the area, and not a local. Their only clues were a bunch of air fresheners found close to the victim, and an eyewitness who spotted a very distinct truck in the area before the body was found.
As time passed and DNA Science evolved, investigators had a sketch created based on the victim's DNA makeup. They released it hoping someone would recognize him, but no one did, which further backed up their belief that he was not local. Eventually, genealogy would provide John Doe's real name; it was Jeffrey Douglas Kimzey. He was from Santa Barbara, CA. He was 20 years old at the time he was killed. Police now know his name, and now they are trying to figure out who killed him, and what brought him to Alabama. The investigation continues.
This John Doe finally has his name back; it's Jeffrey Kimzey, and this is his story.

Rita Curran Part 1 of 2
Episode 106 Rita Curran Part 1 of 2
The brutal 1971 murder of Rita Curran in her own bedroom rocked the tight-knit town of Burlington, Vermont. The circumstances of Rita’s death seemed so random – yet pointed to an insider. The mystifying slaying had no apparent motive and no good leads, and perplexed generations of frustrated investigators. The case was so out there, Ted Bundy was considered a viable suspect, with good reason. Fifty years later, modern DNA technology would reach back in time and give a name to Rita’s killer, helping finally to assuage the heartache of Rita’s family and allowing Burlingtonians to put the tragic murder in their midst behind them.
