Jesse James’ DNA: What Modern Science Has Found So Far

Jesse James’ DNA: What Modern Science Has Found So Far This is the DNA test that was supposed to finally prove where Jesse James is buried—but modern science now shows the case is far from settled. In 1995, forensic researchers opened a grave at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Kearney, Missouri and announced a 99.7% match linking the remains to the famous outlaw killed by Bob Ford in 1882. The result was presented as definitive proof and quickly became accepted history. But the original testing relied on limited mitochondrial DNA, poorly documented evidence handling, and samples taken from a disturbed grave that had been moved more than once. When today’s forensic experts review the same data using modern genetic and statistical methods, the certainty drops sharply—and key details no longer line up. We examine what the 1995 team actually tested, why the chain of custody matters, how contamination and mixed remains may have affected the results, and why repeated requests to retest the samples with modern DNA technology have been refused. This is what modern science has really found so far—and why the identity of the body in Jesse James’ grave is still an open question. #JesseJames #OutlawHistory #OldWestHistory #ForensicScience © 2026 Deadwood Tales.
