Episode Details

Skeletal remains found in West Manchester Township in 2013—long thought to be a white John Doe—have finally been identified as David Anthony Queen, a 42-year-old Black man from Baltimore who vanished in 2006 after heading to his McDonald’s job. His mom reported him missing a month later. The remains, discovered by tree trimmers and showing signs of homicide, remained unidentified for seven years until the DNA Doe Project cracked the case after five years of painstaking work, despite only a 1.7% DNA match to the closest relative. The breakthrough came just before Christmas last year, bringing closure to the family and reigniting the search for his killer. Authorities are now focused on solving his murder and hope this identification will unlock new leads. If you know anything about David’s life, contact the West Manchester Police Department.
