时隔逾50年：1974年在 Baker 附近 I-15 车祸中身亡的搭便车青年经基因谱系鉴定确认身份
圣贝纳迪诺县警局11月10日通报，该县法医办公室通过数十年的调查努力，并与 DNA Doe Project 合作，确认了一名五十多年前无名死者的身份：Terrance Lee Ronco，印第安纳州 Valparaiso 人，终年20岁，生前为一名军人。
1974年11月8日，一辆面包车在 Baker 附近的15号州际公路上与一辆卡车相撞起火，驾驶员与三名乘客中的一人死亡。驾驶员当时已确认身份，但那名沿途搭便车的乘客始终无名。他当时被认为在20至30岁之间，自称「Terrance」、绰号「Lee」。
县警局说，调查性基因谱系技术如今为这名青年恢复了姓名。

John Doe Identified After More Than 50 Years Through Investigative Genetic Genealogy in San Bernardino County
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said on November 10 that the county Coroner's Office, through decades of investigative efforts and a partnership with the DNA Doe Project, has positively identified a man who remained nameless for more than five decades: Terrance Lee Ronco, a 20-year-old native of Valparaiso, Indiana, and a military veteran.
On November 8, 1974, a van traveling on Interstate 15 near Baker collided with a truck and caught fire. The driver and one of three passengers, a hitchhiker picked up along the way, died. The driver was identified at the time, but the hitchhiker, believed to be between 20 and 30 and known by the name Terrance and the nickname Lee, remained unidentified.
Investigative genetic genealogy has now restored his name, the department said.
