Ricky Leslie, aka "Hardin County John Doe (2006)" On December 30, 2006, the body of a man was found on the side of the road along northbound Interstate 65 near mile marker 95, east of Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Forensic investigators determined that he was white, 50-70 years old, and stood around 6 feet tall , but weighed only 140 pounds. There was no evidence of trauma to the man's body. He was dressed in a red plaid, insulated flannel shirt, black belt, gray polo shirt, and State Street brand brown shoes. The man had died of natural causes weeks prior to his discovery. In 2021, the Hardin County Coroner's Office contacted DNA Doe Project to request assistance in identifying the man and a biological sample was sent to its lab for genetic genealogy. Pedigree collapse was observed in the man's family tree which made the case somewhat difficult, but a candidate for the decedent was eventually discovered in July 2022. On February 6, 2023, the decedent was identified as 63-year-old Ricky Allen Leslie. Leslie had been living in Elizabethtown prior to his death. His last address was near where his body was found. Joyce Rodgers, aka "Carson City Jane Doe" On March 17, 2015, partially decomposed human remains were found in a shallow grave in Carson City, Nevada. They were determined to belong to a woman aged between 40 and 70 years of age, but the decedent's identity and cause of death were unknown. On February 17, 2023, with the help of DNA Doe Project, the decedent was identified as 72-year-old Joyce A. Rodgers Annis, a homeless woman who was living in the area. Her husband, fellow transient Edward Barton, claimed that he had buried her body after she had died from an illness. Her identity was revealed alongside that of another decedent in an unrelated case.
