America's Oldest John Doe Identified
A Maryland teenager who died in a Revolutionary War battle has been identified almost 250 years later through DNA testing
America's oldest John Doe has been identified almost 250 years later through DNA testing and old-fashioned sleuthing, as reported by CTV News, solving a cold case that has gone unsolved since the American Revolution. The case is a prime example of how cold cases solved with DNA testing can bring closure to families and historians, and it highlights the importance of cold cases solved with DNA testing in uncovering the truth about the past. This breakthrough comes as some states, like Illinois, face criticism for their soft-on-crime policy, making the use of DNA testing in solving crimes all the more significant.
