[Case Resolution] Remains from 1987 identified as Kenneth Dreux Spuller

Intermountain Forensics is honored to join the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner (AZ) and a dedicated team of independent Investigative Genetic Genealogists in announcing the identification of an unidentified man found in 1987. Through the efforts of this remarkable team, he has now been confirmed as Kenneth Dreux Spuller.

In 1987, the remains of an unidentified man were discovered, known only as "Blue Paint John Doe." For decades, his identity remained a mystery. It was not until the application of investigative genetic genealogy in recent years that critical breakthroughs were achieved, allowing the team to bring long-awaited answers to light.

Intermountain Forensics created a genetic profile that was successfully uploaded for comparison. The work then headed to the exceptional team of independent Investigative Genetic Genealogists ultimately leading to the identification of Mr. Spuller.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the IGG analysts who made this identification possible:

This case was generously funded by CES, LLC. Intermountain Forensics extends our sincerest condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Mr. Spuller.
