The remains of a man found murdered in Florida in 1980 have been identified as William Irving Monroe III, a U.S. Marine who served in Vietnam.
The remains of a murder victim whose body was first discovered decades ago in northern Florida has now been identified, authorities said, thanks to advanced DNA testing and forensic genealogy.
The driver told investigators that he had picked up the man along with three other people, and he thought the man now believed to be Monroe had wandered off of the property.Authorities said they believe Monroe was living in Orlando around the time of his death and may have been in Pomona Park because his ex-wife and children were living there. He had ties to Putnam County, with speeding tickets confirming he had been in that area throughout the decade leading up to his murder.
