Rebecca Cohen is a breaking news reporter for NBC News.
Human remains discovered 49 years ago near Flagstaff, Arizona, have been identified as a man who served in Vietnam and was originally from Minnesota, authorities said Wednesday. The Coconino County Sheriff's Office announced in a news release that the remains were those of Gerald Francis Long. Long's cause of death was not determined in 1975 and cannot be determined today, according to the release.
Using the company's technology, a DNA profile was developed for the remains, allowing experts to trace a family line. This led them in February to the possibility that the remains were Long's. From there, CCSO detectives contacted a living family member of Long's, who told them that Long enlisted in the Army in 1969 and was deployed to Vietnam that same year. Long returned to Minnesota in February 1972 and was discharged one month later, officials said in the release.
