Comment

It is not accurate to say that he murdered his wife. He was sent to jail, but he had not been tried when he escaped. So, it is merely an assumption.

Source: "The dismembered and headless John Doe, whose remains were found in the Civil Defense Caves near Dubois, Idaho, in 1979 and 1991, was identified as those of Joseph Henry Loveless. His remarkably preserved remains are thought to have been placed in the caves in 1916."
- ALT1:... that the identification of outlaw Joseph Henry Loveless's body over 100 years after his death is the oldest successful identification by the DNA Doe Project? Source: “He died 103 years ago; he was born in 1870,” said Anthony Lukas Redgrave, a team leader for the DNA Doe Project, an organization that works with law enforcement to identify unclaimed remains. “It’s absolutely the oldest ID we’ve ever made.”

Article was created within the last seven days, is over the required prose size and has no copyvio concerns. Hooks are interesting and have inline citations to reliable sources. QPQ provided, good to go. Kosack (talk) 20:46, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DOB

Hi Ryguy611 if you want to add the specific DOB you need to add a reference. The current cited reference only has the year. Enwebb (talk) 15:15, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Image

I have nominated this image for speedy deletion as it is not a public domain photograph. Per NBC News "No photos of Loveless have been found, so a composite image was made from photos of his close relatives and physical descriptions in documents for illustrative purposes". This is not a PD photograph, but an original, recent work by the DNA Doe Project. Enwebb (talk) 17:15, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Enwebb: Sorry about that -- I over looked that detail and mistook the image as a era authentic tintype. I cheerfully removed the image. BaomoVW (talk) 17:34, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

BaomoVW, no worries, just wanted to add a note to the talk page. It's a pretty convincing image--I anticipated that it would get continuously re-added to the article otherwise. Enwebb (talk) 18:06, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
