We provide updates on our coverage of Julie Doe, an unidentified decedent and probable homicide victim found along a Florida highway in 1988. Julie was a trans woman assumed to be cisgender until 2015; since its inception, the Trans Doe Task Force has worked to amplify her case and actively seek her loved ones and chosen family in hopes of resolving her case. In addition, The DNA Doe Project is actively seeking volunteers to upload their DNA to GEDmatch in hopes of identifying Julie—particularly those who live in the Southeast.  Pre order Laurah’s book LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ -Go to https://www.functionofbeauty.com/FALLLINE to take your Hair Goals quiz, and you’ll save 25% on your first order. -Go to https://www.framebridge.com/ and use promo code FALLLINE to save an additional 15% off your first order. -Sign up today at https://www.butcherbox.com/FALLLINE to get a 10-14 lb turkey FREE with your first box The Trans Doe Task Force: https://transdoetaskforce.org/ DNA Doe Project: https://dnadoeproject.org/ Redgrave Research: https://redgraveresearch.com/ LAMMP Database: https://transdoetaskforce.org/new-database-lammp-lgbt-accountability-for-missing-and-murdered-persons/ Queered Science Symposium: https://transdoetaskforce.org/queered-science-trans-doe-task-force-at-aafs-2022/ Guide to Gedmatch Upload: https://www.thefalllinepodcast.com/news-1/2022/7/11/guide-to-uploading-to-gedmatch Content advisement for the update by Lee and Anthony Redgrave  Remastered by Scott Stronach  Sources at our website: https://www.thefalllinepodcast.com/sources Submit a case to The Fall Line: https://www.thefalllinepodcast.com/case-submissions   Join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thefalllinepodcast 2022 All Rights Reserved The Fall Line Podcast, LLC Learn more about your ad choices.

Carlos Delgado disappeared in 1997, but there’s no formal record of this fact—at least, not one his family can access. Although ICE allegedly holds that information in their internal records, there is no listing for Carlos, who was in the US on a temporary residency visa, with NamUs or any other state or county agency. And that has made tracking him, and publicizing his case, extraordinarily difficult. Add in the circumstances of Carlos’’ life, and his place among the “missing missing,” and his son Hugo and niece Sheila have had a hard road toward seeking help in publicizing his case.  Hugo’s Facebook Page for Carlos: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011382740008   Sheila’s Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DesaparecidosenTodoMexicoyCentroamerica Pre order Laurah’s book LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Sponsors: -Go to https://www.functionofbeauty.com/FALLLINE to take your Hair Goals quiz, and you’ll save 25% on your first order. -Go to https://www.framebridge.com/ and use promo code FALLLINE to save an additional 15% off your first order. -Sign up today at https://www.butcherbox.com/FALLLINE to get a 10-14 lb turkey FREE with your first box   Submit a case to The Fall Line: https://www.thefalllinepodcast.com/case-submissions   Written, researched, and hosted by Laurah Norton, with research assistance from Bryan Worters, Kyana Burgess, and Michaela Morrill/Interviews by Brooke Hargrove/Produced, scored, and engineered by Maura Currie/Line-editor Bill Bertschinger/ Content advisors are Brandy C.

Across the United States, major cities are faced with dozens, if not hundreds, of cases of unidentified decedents: Doe cases who, whether they are homicide victims or have died of other means, are people who may represent more than one of DPD’s cold cases: there are many missing-persons reports which could be resolved by matching the deceased to reports of the missing. The problem lies in a lack of readily available DNA evidence; until the mid-2000s, it was not standard procedure to retain such samples, and most major cities have cases dating back well into the 20th century. Detroit, MI is no exception--but they are unique in their solution.  In Detroit, multiple agencies, including the DPD, FBI, medical examiner, and anthropologists from across the state have joined forces as Operation UNITED (Unknown Names Identified Through Exhumation and DNA)--and case by case, they are working to re-identify each victim and return them to their loved ones.  Pre order Laurah’s book LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Sponsors -Go to https://www.functionofbeauty.com/FALLLINE to take your Hair Goals quiz, and you’ll save 25% on your first order. -Go to https://www.framebridge.com/ and use promo code FALLLINE to save an additional 15% off your first order. -Sign up today at https://www.butcherbox.com/FALLLINE to get a 10-14 lb turkey FREE with your first box Submit a case to The Fall Line: https://www.thefalllinepodcast.com/case-submissions   Written, researched, and hosted by Laurah Norton, with research assistance from Bryan Worters, Kyana Burgess, and Michaela Morrill/Interviews by Brooke Hargrove/Produced, scored, and engineered by Maura Currie/Line-editor Bill Bertschinger/ Content advisors are Brandy C.

We continue our fascinating discussion on ethics in true crime with Sarah Turney, on topics ranging from leaks in the Delphi case, parasocial relationships in true crime, web sleuthing, family-member creator content, and the future she envisions for true-crime media.  Sarah Turney is the sister of Alissa Turney, an advocate, creator--host of Voices for Justice and Disappearances--and one of the fiercest voices pushing for radical change in true-crime media.  Sarah knows what needs to shift--she saw the worst of true-crime “entertainment” and media attention, and the lack of it, when her sister disappeared in 2001, and has experienced every possible situation family members and survivors face since then: insensitive headlines; misreported information; harassment; stories told thoughtlessly, or without consent, and more.  Sarah is on a mission, not just to team up with others who create what we’ve come to call ethical true crime, but to transform the entire industry for the good of the victims, families, and survivors whose stories it is built upon. In this two-part discussion, we cover some of the most current ethical issues in true crime today.  -Go to https://www.functionofbeauty.com/FALLLINE to take your Hair Goals quiz, and you’ll save 25% on your first order. -Go to https://www.framebridge.com/ and use promo code FALLLINE to save an additional 15% off your first order. -Sign up today at https://www.butcherbox.com/FALLLINE to get a 10-14 lb turkey FREE with your first box   Voices For Justice: https://www.voicesforjusticepodcast.com/ Disappearances: https://open.spotify.com/show/3mKEfFdAOyb9iaBcOwANir True Consequences: https://www.trueconsequences.com/ They Called Her Georgia Lee: https://twitter.com/SolveHerMurder Submit a case to The Fall Line: https://www.thefalllinepodcast.com/case-submissions   Written, researched, and hosted by Laurah Norton, with research assistance from Bryan Worters, Kyana Burgess, and Michaela Morrill/Interviews by Brooke Hargrove/Produced, scored, and engineered by Maura Currie/Line-editor Bill Bertschinger/ Content advisors are Brandy C.
