Genetic genealogy advances 'Wolf River Joanne Doe' case | Exclusive

The decades-old effort to identify a woman whose skull was found at the bottom of the Wolf River in Winneconne has taken a step forward through investigative genetic genealogy . Investigators believe the woman's grandmother was Mary Jane Connor, who represents the closest familial connection they have established to "Wolf River Joanne Doe." "It's statistically probable that she's the grandmother," Lt. Chris Braman of the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office told The Post-Crescent, "but we don't know what sex her child was who would be the parent of our victim." Braman said the probability stems from genealogy-based DNA testing recently completed in Northern Ireland. The sheriff's office is publicizing the development in the hope that someone may have Mary Jane Connor in their family tree and would be willing to submit DNA for testing to help solve the mystery of "Joanne," which has baffled investigators for 41 years. "We're like one record away right now," Braman said. "If we could figure out who Mary Jane married, I think we would be in really good shape." Who was Mary Jane Connor? Where did she go after 1911? Records show Connor was born on Oct. 14, 1883. Her parents were Owen Connor and
