Summary

Episode 155 Doe ID: Tisha Ann Dyer

In 2003, human skeletal remains were found in a very remote area of Mt. Hood, Oregon. Not much was determined about the person the scant bones belonged to, other than she was a female. The Hood River County Sheriff's Office attempted to identify the remains by scouring the many missing person's cases in the area, but was unable to give a name to the deceased. In 2020, a Parabon phenotype analysis predicted that the Jane Doe had brown hair, fair skin, and green or hazel eyes. The Parabon genealogist used IGG to identify the bones as belonging to Tisha Ann Dyer. Tisha was last known to be living in Portland, and was last in contact with her family in 2002. What happened to Tisha, and how did she end up on Mt. Hood? After two decades, Tisha finally has her name back and this is her story.
