Sheridan Police identify man found dead in 1988
Akram Bada'an, 36, was found dead on Aug. 27, 1988, in the 2800
block of West Oxford Avenue.
SHERIDAN, Colorado — Sheridan Police Department (SPD)
announced Wednesday that they've identified a homicide victim
who was found dead in 1988 but had been known as John Doe until
now.
"The most important thing in this case, aside from giving the
victim justice is giving the victim his name back," said SPD
Detective Bryan Penry.
Akram Bada'an was 36 when he was found dead on Aug. 27, 1988, in
the 2800 block of West Oxford Avenue. Using DNA and genetic
genealogy investigators were able to trace his family to Israel.
"From there our detectives along with assistance from other
agencies were able to identify Arkam and locate his family and
positively identify him using DNA and other government records,"
said Penry.
Bada'an's homicide remains unsolved and Penry said his
identification is just the first step in this active
investigation.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been involved in
the case since 1989 but was asked by SPD to take another look at
the case in 2020. That review found several items of evidence
that had been preserved well enough to allow new DNA testing and
fingerprint analysis, CBI analyst Audrey Simkins said.
"The results provided indicated that John Doe was of middle
eastern descent," she said. "This was a huge break, for decades
we had believed our John Doe was a Mexican national."
