Human remains were discovered 31 years ago in a remote private farm lane in Pickaway County, Ohio as a missing 21-year-old man.
The Skeletal Remains were Found 31 Years Ago
Ohio Attorney General of Pickaway County Sheriff’s office announced the news about the discovery of skeletal remains buried in a shallow grave on a private farm lane near State Route 56 East by a skeletal hunter on Tuesday, Dec. 13.
Because the estimated height of the person was 5-foot-1 to 5-foot-4, Investigators assumed that the remains belong to an Indigenous American lady aged 25 years old. Anthropologists reportedly determined the remains had been buried for little more than three years.
In a report by CNN, Scientists at North Texas University studied the remains in 2012 and obtained some DNA, which enable them to conclude that the bones belong to a man. Nine years after, in 2021, Dr. John Ellis and Pickaway County Lt. Johnathan Strawser conduct additional testing, which helped create a DNA profile of the man and in January 2022, Strawser and Ellis gather an AdvanceDNA to help identify John Doe.
