Hmm, look, they have solved the identity of yet another mystery set of human remains in my county (using DNA analysis).
"In February 1981, hikers discovered partial skeletal remains near mile marker 43.50 on Highway 33 in Ojai, California, and reported their findings to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office. Along with the remains, investigators recovered a green army-style jacket and two pairs of glasses.... Recently, advances in DNA technology produced a complete profile that could finally help identify the unknown man. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office partnered with Redgrave Research Forensic Services to conduct genetic genealogy research.
Through investigative work, detectives located a family who had not heard from a relative in over fifty years. Reference DNA samples were collected from a family member and compared to the unidentified remains, leading to a positive identification.
The man has been identified as Thomas Aquinas Cooney, a Vietnam War veteran and Bronze Star recipient, born October 5, 1950, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania."
