Banff RCMP hoping to identify man’s remains recovered decades ago

Investigators believe the man was likely closer to 25 years old, was about 5 feet 10 inches tall, had rickets as a child and probably died at least two years before he was found on the backside of Sulphur Mountain about four kilometres south of the town of Banff.

RCMP say DNA from the remains has been uploaded into the national databank. Potential missing person’s files have been cross referenced and ruled out by either DNA or dental records. And there are not any known outstanding missing person’s cases that match the case. “There’s no real leads. I’d just like to get the family the remains,” RCMP Cpl. Natalie Rice said Tuesday.She said there’s been a lot of work done on the case over the past 20 years.There were several items located in the area of the remains, including keys from a 1970s or ‘80s Chrysler with a War Amps key tag, pictures, and a black wallet with “Amity” written in gold letters, but no identification.

Police also recovered a tattered photo in the wallet with a Quebec address on the back, but that hasn’t yielded anything either.She said Sulphur Mountain is a popular location and over the years there have been three bodies found there. One has been identified.

Travelling after recovering from COVID-19Many fully vaccinated British Columbians who have recently recovered from COVID-19 are looking to travel internationally again. And have a tragic end the resorts🤭 IMO: It’s important to remember that we remain in the pandemic and are learning new things all the time. We may yet see new variants of concern. Two years ago, people were reticent to recommend masks, now some protest vaccines. Things change over time. Best remain prudent. Not if they still believe that. No matter if you're vaccinated or not you can still be infectious! VACCINES DON'T STOP THE SPREAD, PEOPLE DO! IT'S A FUCKING VIRUS!
