DNA evidence helps Volusia County deputies identify victims in 2
cold case homicides
VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — Decades after their murders, Volusia
County deputies have identified the victims of two separate
homicides, officials announced Monday.
Volusia deputies said Howard “Kip” Evans, who was found dead in
1986, and Doris Regina Chavers, who was last seen alive in 1989,
are no longer listed as Jane Doe and John Doe.
Deputies said Evans’ skeletal remains were found off Pump House
Road near Jones Island Road in the Ormond Beach area.
Investigators said Evens remains had violent trauma and the
death was determined to be a homicide.
DNA testing was performed between 2006 and 2011, but there were
no matches then, deputies said.
Deputies said a Facebook post last year led deputies to test a
member of Evans’ family after discovering a formal missing
person’s report was never made.
Chavers was last seen alive at her mother’s home in Sanford in
1989 when she was 32 years old. Deputies said she was reported
missing 1 year later.
Her remains were found by two fishermen in a wooded area of
Enterprise Osteen Road in Osteen in 1991, deputies said.
Investigators said she had died from violent trauma and the case
later ruled a homicide.
Seminole County deputies got DNA from Chavers’ biological
daughter in 2018 and confirmed her identity in January of this
year.
Deputies said the investigations into the homicides of Evans and
Chavers are continuing. Anyone with information about either
case is asked to call the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office Major
Case Unit at 386-254-1537.

Jane Doe 1991 can finally be recognized by her name: Doris
Regina Chavers.
Chavers (DOB 4/4/1957) was 32 years old when she was last seen
alive at her mother’s home in Sanford, in August 1989. She was
reported missing the following year, on Aug. 1, 1990, to the
Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.
On Aug. 19, 1991, Volusia sheriff’s deputies responded to a
report from two fishermen who found skeletal remains in a
heavily wooded area off the 400 block of Enterprise Osteen Road
in Osteen. Due to the condition of the remains, identification
was not possible. At that time, DNA technology was not what it
is today.
In September 1991, an autopsy determined that the remains were
of a female, potentially in her 30s or 40s, and that she had
died from violent trauma. Jane Doe 1991’s death was subsequently
ruled a homicide.
As the death investigation progressed, detectives searched
databases at their disposal for any and all means to identify
the victim. Detectives entered the case into an FBI database in
an effort to identify Jane Doe and to generate possible leads.
Unfortunately, these efforts were unsuccessful, and the case
went cold.
In August 2018, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office conducted
further investigation into the Chavers missing person case.
Seminole sheriff’s detectives were able to track down Chavers’
biological daughter and obtain a familial DNA reference sample.
That DNA sample was subsequently sent to UNTCHI.
On Jan. 21 of this year, both Volusia and Seminole detectives
received a report from UNTCHI that the familial DNA sample
collected from Chavers’ biological daughter was a match to the
skeletal remains found in Volusia County in 1991.
After receiving the report, Volusia detectives contacted
Chavers’ daughter and delivered the news. Upon learning her
mother had been located, she was relieved to finally get some
sense of closure; she said she always felt that something
terrible must have happened, and that her mother would have
never just abandoned her.
The investigation into the homicide of Doris Chavers is
continuing, and anyone with information about the case is
encouraged to contact the Volusia Sheriff’s Office Major Case
Unit at 386-254-1537.
