Authorities in Northern Arizona say they have identified a man whose remains were found by farmers decades ago.
Officials with the Coconino County Sheriff's Office say they have finally managed to identify a man whose remains were found decades ago.Investigators say the remains found in an area 40 miles east of Flagstaff on April 19, 1975 is that of Gerald Francis Long, a Vietnam veteran originally from Minnesota. His remains were found by farmers who were chasing a runaway pig in the area.
Long was identified after CCSO contracted a Salt Lake City-based firm to identify the remains through the Forensic Genetic Genealogy process. The same process was reportedly used to identify the suspect in the Idaho student murders, as well as the suspect in the killing of an Arizona woman named Allison Feldman.Read More: What is genetic genealogy?Long was identified as a potential match in February, and the remains were positively identified in May.
