Idaho investigators trying to identify remains found in 2002 April 1, 2021 GMT IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) — Authorities in eastern Idaho are working with a private DNA testing company to try to find the identity of human remains found nearly two decades ago. The Bonneville County Sheriffs Office announced Thursday that it was working with Othram Inc., a private forensics laboratory, to use advanced DNA testing to try to solve the cold case. The sheriff’s office says a man was walking his dog near Palisades Reservoir in September of 2002 when he found what appeared to be part of a human skull. Deputies searched the area and found other bones, and pathologists determined the bones likely belonged to a man between the ages of 25 and 45. The remains were badly weathered, suggesting they may have been in the reservoir for up to 20 years before they were discovered.
