After nearly three decades, a mystery in Plymouth, Michigan, has finally seen a breakthrough—but questions still remain.
Discovery in Detroit Suburb
WDIV Local 4 reports that in May of 1997, a man looking to buy property off Haggerty Road made a disturbing find. As he walked the land, he spotted a rolled-up carpet. Inside were skeletal human remains, along with clothes and jewelry.
Police determined the remains belonged to a male, roughly 5’8″, with a slender build. Based on the condition of the body, they believed he had been there for several years. Evidence suggested the man had suffered a head injury, and his death was ruled a homicide.
Years of Investigation and No Answer
Though items were collected at the scene, law enforcement couldn’t figure out who the man was. A DNA test in 2015 also came up empty, leaving the man unidentified for years.
Breakthrough Through DNA Technology
That changed in 2022 when forensic specialists sent the remains to Othram, a lab in The Woodlands, Texas. Using advanced DNA technology, scientists were able to extract a detailed profile.
