Marin County authorities have positively identified the body of a man who was found in the Muir Woods National Monument over four decades ago.
In a press release issued by the Marin County Sheriff's Department, the decedent was identified as San Francisco resident Sigvard Svensson. Authorities said that the skeletal remains of the then unidentified individual were discovered near the Deer Park Fire Trail in Marin County , California within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in November of 1982.
Two years ago, the Marin County Sheriff's Office partnered with the California Department of Justice's Jan Bashinski Lab and Othram Forensics to develop a genetic profile to aid in the identification of John DOE 82-278. Othram scientists successfully developed a DNA extract from the forensic evidence and developed a comprehensive DNA profile of the unknown man.
