Potentially Amazing Lead in Grateful Doe Case - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

RobinW · 01-03-2015, 03:13 PM

Just came across this potentially amazing piece of news. A user on Imgur was asking for information about Jason Doe, a.k.a. the Unidentified Grateful Doe fan, and received a response from someone that once lived with a Grateful Dead fan named Jason who just seemed to disappear in 1995. Photos of this "Jason" have been posted and it's amazing how much of a resemblance there is.

Nothing's official yet, but the facts align together so perfectly here that I actually got chills looking at this:

Shut the front door.

I never thought this one would be resolved! I hope I'm wrong!

Awesome! I hope something pans out!

One in the same. I'd bet money on it. Poor guy. Really have to wonder how he died.

Jerry Garcia died later that same year.

Wasn't he killed in a car accident? Driver fell asleep behind the wheel? I could be mistaken.

Charlie99909 · 01-04-2015, 04:41 PM

Yeah, I think he went into a tree.

wiseguy182 · 01-05-2015, 01:08 AM

Yes, car accident. I must have had a temporary brain fart.

seems like he was a really nice guy.

Authorities said neither Grateful Doe, who was the passenger, nor the driver had alcohol or drugs in their systems and it was probably a case of the driver falling asleep.

I'm so conflicted - I want a resolution to this case so badly, but I don't want the happy, smiley young Jason in the photos to be dead.

As one of the posters in the thread below the article suggested - Can they get in touch with the McDonald's store he worked at and at least get a surname?

The similarities in the photos and composites are too close to ignore.

Honestly, who knows how long employment records are kept on file. It was 20 years ago.

I legitimately think this is the guy. If not, it's an incredible coincidence.

rerungirl · 01-05-2015, 06:57 PM

It would be absolutely wonderful if Grateful Doe was finally identified. Much like the Sharon Marshall story (identified last year as Suzanne Sevakig) this case has stayed with me over the years. Grateful Doe's family and friends deserve to know what happened to their loved one so they can finally bring him home.

This one always seemed so solvable and yet has gone on so long.

With all respect intended (and I had a few friends who followed the Dead and/or Phish) I think now that the smoke has cleared and these kids likely have families, someone's neurons will start to fire. Someone will get nostalgic, go through their box of "when I was a stoner" stuff and solve this.
