Authorities say skeletal remains found near a western Indiana highway overpass more than a quarter-century ago have been identified as those of an Indiana man who vanished in 1997.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Skeletal remains found near a western Indiana highway overpass more than a quarter-century ago have been identified as those of an Indiana man who vanished in 1997, authorities said Wednesday.
A state highway worker found the remains in January 1998 near an Interstate 70 overpass in Vigo County near the Illinois border, about 120 miles southwest of Anderson. Efforts over the intervening years to identify them proved unsuccessful. Othram developed a DNA profile from those remains, and state police detectives began contacting potential relatives of the then-unidentified person.
