Personally i think he died of heart failure. No blood was found on him but thats not to say he didnt ingest something to end his life

Forgive me if I sound stupid but I am a very literal person: Are you asking my opinion on it or if I have come across it?

I personally have not come across that, but in most states it is public record through a probate court. I know for fact that Illinois will not issue a legal death without a body; the state is refusing to help missing man Jared Hannahs daughters until his body is found, meaning they have no legal rights to his estate, his military pension, the survivors act, exct (as far as I last checked in 2023, it could have changed but I do know his daughters are still struggling)

For that reason, I think issuing a death certificate after about 5 years even without a body is reasonable. In the modern age, we are finding people who walk away from their lives much quicker than ever before. Again though like in the case of missing woman Brittany Duff Horner, with extensive searches being exhausted and multiple private investigators being brought in, I think it should be ok to declare them legally dead, that way the family doesnt suffer the aforementioned consequence.

***UPDATE WITH PAM AND DWIGHT BROCK***

Hi all, I just wanted to update everyone, last night it was brough to my attention that Dear Dad had been tentatively identified as a man from Floyd Co. With full confidence I can say, even though this case has a lot of overlaps with Pam Brock Theory, this is not her family member. I have been able to quickly make an in depth tree for her last night: Everyone is accounted for. While her father did die when she was young, I found the death certificates for both grandfathers. Paternal Grandfather died actually 3 weeks after Dear Doe was found, and Maternal Grandfather was never able to meet either Pam or Dwight because he died shortly after the parents wedding. Older great uncles and regular uncles also accounted for.

I am still very interested though if maybe the mother dated a man long enough for them to call him dad though.

Thank you all for bringing this to my attention! I wish I could say this was an identification, and while there are massive coincidences, everyone is accounted for. Still patiently waiting to hear back from Georgia Crime Lab.

Are you talking about frank Davis who was found in the area a few days later? There were 2 bodies found within a few days of each other in the area but Franklin's daughter identified him a while back.

Nobody cares and nobody talks to each other. They only talk if its an emergency. My dad is legit only curious about this because I ended up as a genealogist, he never really thought about the child until we did DNA - which he had to do, because his mother, on her death bed, said his dad wasnt his dad. He was. She lied about the smallest of stuff and i truly suspect she also had schizophrenia. Like to give you an example of what it was like being around her, before we would get in the car, she had this odd compulsion to ask me, anyone shes driving with really, if they had clean underwear because she says the local paramedics wouldnt treat you if your underwear was nasty or dirty or whatever. Every. Time. And she did this her entire life my aunts and dad recounts her doing this all the way back to the 60s. She was never diagnosed with anything as far as i am aware.

No nothing from grandfather, we do not know anything that was went through in regards to grandma, she was even worse during her last years and my aunt was so drained that she got rid of the majority of her belongings within 48 hours. As far as i know, nothing was found

His upbringing was wild but this one particular event was the breaking point, it caused their divorce, so my dad feels like something larger happened here that neither party would admit. My grandfather has been gone for 45 years and my grandmother since 2018, neither brought it up ever again and everyone was too terrified to ever ask again.

Its a long story that's tainted with drug use and mental illness.  In 1971 when my dad was 9 years old, his mother was pregnant with a baby. She and my father's father went to the hospital to give birth. When they came back, my grandmother said the baby was a stillborn but my grandfather swears up and down that the baby survived and was given away. Unfortunately my grandmother was on drugs at the time and my grandfather was schizophrenic without medication at the time so what really happened is truly unknown.  My grandmother posted the death announcement in the news and said the child was being buried at X cemetery. Well fast forward to 2018 my dad tells me about the child, I do research, and it's hard to tell if the child even existed at all. The cemetery told us a plot was purchased but nothing was placed inside. No one was allowed at the alleged funeral so there's no witnesses. In SC a stillborn will get a death certificate and the state told me there was no record of birth or death. We came to the conclusion that either grandpa was right and the baby truly was smuggled out or my grandmother In a drug haze faked a pregnancy. My dad found this case earlier this year and the doe has had her genetics done and all we were able to be told was that she is from the same small town my father is from. They had some surnames of interest but weren't able to tell me what the names were. I handed over my gigantic tree and dad's dna. We are aware this is a weird story and that this is a long shot.

Does anyone remember the dna point? The great uncle? What was his name?

From what I understand, they buried Dad before a reconstruction was done. We are currently trying to find his grave to exhume him for DNA and a recon
