Sometime in the 1970s, a California man headed to Nevada to find gold and was never heard from again. The mystery of Virgil R. Renner’s disappearance now has some answers after the John Doe was identified in Arizona last week. In September 1982, some passersby found human remains on Hackberry Road, near historic Route 66, in the desert outside Kingman, Arizona.
“He had a brother and a sister, who are long since deceased. He never married and never had children.” Through interviews with more distant relatives, investigators learned that Renner was from Humboldt County, California, and had headed to Nevada in the early 1970s to “search for gold.” It is unclear how and why Renner’s life ended in the Arizona desert on Hackberry Road. Census records reveal Virgil R. Renner was born in Mad River, California, in 1910.
