Case History
On June 26, 1995, the decedent, known as "Jason Doe or Grateful" was a passenger in a van involved in a fatal accident on Route 58 West, 0.3 miles east of Route 605 in Greensville County, Virginia, that killed him and the driver. The identified driver apparently fell asleep at the wheel on his way back to South Carolina. Authorities believe the unidentified passenger was picked up while hitchhiking between Fairfax and Gloucester. He didn't have any identification on him and the family of the driver did not know who he was.
The tickets found in the victim's pocket were traced to a Pennsylvania man who brought 20 tickets with him to the concert. Unfortunately, the man could not recall who he sold the tickets to.
On January 13, 2015, a missing persons case was filed in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for Jason Callahan, who hasn't been seen or heard from since June 1995. Myrtle Beach Police Department and other agencies are working to gather DNA samples to see if Mr. Callahan and the decedent are the same young man. In December 2015, DNA confirmed that Jason Doe and Jason Callahan are the same person.
