Jason Jolkowski: An example of the issues faced by families of the missing

About three years ago, police contacted Jason's family regarding an unidentified deceased male that had been found in California. A woman had seen an artist's rendering of the man and thought he resembled Jason. It is now known that this man was not Jason, but Jason's mother, Kelly, has now posted about the incident on the Project Jason Voice for the Missing blog. The posts are based on her own diary entries from the time, and names of places and people outside the family have been changed. The story, however, is still powerful.

An introduction to the series can be found at http://voice4themissing.blogspot.com/2007/06/62107-untold-story-awaiting-dna.html, which also links to audio files of a dramatization of the diary. The first actual post in the series is at http://voice4themissing.blogspot.com/2007/06/62107-untold-story-awaiting-dna-part-i.html, and the rest of the story has yet to be posted.
