Death of Jason Callahan

Later on, she channeled her passion for working with data into her online hobbies, sifting through digital breadcrumbs to help fellow sleuths crack missing person cases.

At one point, she joined the subreddit dedicated to identifying the Grateful Doe in the hopes of returning him to his family one day.

The Grateful Doe was an unidentified young man killed in a car accident.

He had been hitchhiking around the country following the Grateful Dead on their 1995 tour.

For 20 years, the only clues to his identity were the band T-shirt he wore and two ticket stubs from a recent concert.

He was eventually identified in 2015 when a community of sleuths leveraged the power of social media platforms to bring him back home to his family 20 years after his death.

If you're interested in hearing more about the Grateful Doe case, we will link the video that we made about it in the description below.

As for Lindsay, by the time she joined the Grateful Doe investigation, they were already on the cusp of discovering his identity.

As you may know from our past videos, Reddit's investigative efforts over the years have been controversial to say the least.

On one hand, Reddit communities have solved three separate missing person cold cases, Grateful Doe, Woman82483, and Lyle Stevik.

It is not an over-exaggeration to say that without Redditor's sleuthing and social networking, the John and Jane Does in these cases would have never been identified and closure would have never been brought to their families.

On the other hand, whenever Reddit users have tried to assist in large-scale manhunts, it has never gone well.

But both of them would get their real names back.

This is the story of the Grateful Doe and the Buckskin Girl.

Crime, conspiracy, cults, serial killers, and murder, all things that I love to consume.

And I know you do too, you sick, twisted, beautiful, intellectually minded freak.

And Jones worked the case until there was seemingly nothing left to check.

Quote, I investigated everything from every angle and nothing ever panned out, unquote.

And somewhere along the way, people started calling him Grateful Doe.

So for a long time, the only people keeping the case alive had no connection to it at all.
