Florida identifies 1985 skeletal remains as Canadian woman Jeanette Marcotte, missing since 1981–82, via DNA and genealogy.
Authorities have identified skeletal remains found in Malabar, Florida, in 1985 as those of Jeanette Marcotte, a Canadian woman who disappeared from Saskatchewan around 1981 or 1982.
Using advanced DNA analysis and genetic genealogy through a federal-funded project, Florida investigators matched the remains to Marcotte via consumer DNA databases.
The identification, confirmed on January 30, 2026, marks the 51st case in Florida solved using this method.
The cause of death and how she ended up in Florida remain unknown.
