A cold case more than two decades old has been solved after new DNA technology was used by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) to identify the remains of a man found near a southwestern Ontario town in 2003.
Police have been actively attempting to identify the body for 21 years, despite determining the death was not suspicious. It wasn’t until last fall that the mystery was officially solved.
