Fox News contributor Ted Williams unpacks the ongoing investigation in the Idaho students murders as police still have no suspect in the brutal killings.sheriff and attorney general announced on Tuesday that human remains discovered 31 years ago have been identified as Robert A. Mullins of Columbus.
At first, the remains were thought to be those of an Indigenous American, a press release from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost stated, but after a further investigation conducted by anthropologists, the remains were much newer.Through their investigation, anthropologists determined the remains had been in the ground no more than three years and could be those of a woman approximately 25-years-old, between 5-foot-1 and 5-foot-4 inches.
Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office investigators continued to seek answers to who the remains belonged to over the next 31 years, with the help of the county coroner’s office as DNA technology advancements opened more possibilities.For instance, scientists at the University of North Texas evaluated the remains in 2012 and determined the individual was a male.
