Joseph Henry Loveless (December 3, 1870 – c. May 1916), also known as Charles Smith, Walter Currans, and Walter Cairns, was an American bootlegger and formerly unidentified decedent. In 1916, after being accused of murdering his wife, he escaped from jail with a sawblade he had hidden in his shoe. Loveless's dismembered torso was found stuffed in a sack in an Idaho cave in 1979 with more of his remains discovered in 1991 in the same cave. The body was not positively identified until 2019 with the help of the DNA Doe Project, which noted that the identification was the oldest one they had ever made. The positive identification was made using forensic genealogy.

| - Joseph Henry Loveless (3 de diciembre de 1870 - c. mayo de 1916), también conocido como Charles Smith, Walter Currans y Walter Cairns, fue un forajido y contrabandista de licor estadounidense y por un tiempo un difunto no identificado. En 1916, tras ser acusado de asesinar a su mujer, escapó de la cárcel con una hoja de sierra que llevaba escondida en el zapato. Seis décadas después, el torso desmembrado de Loveless fue encontrado metido en un saco en una cueva de Idaho en 1979 con más de sus restos descubiertos en 1991 en la misma cueva. El cuerpo no se identificó positivamente hasta 2019 con la ayuda del Proyecto DNA Doe, que señaló que la identificación era la más antigua que habían hecho. La identificación positiva se realizó mediante genealogía forense. (es)
