New Hampshire authorities and DNA testing have identified the remains of a 78-year-old man with dementia who left his home to go for a walk in 1991 and never returned.
CONCORD, N.H. — The remains of a 78-year-old man with dementia who left his home to go for a walk in 1991 and never returned have been identified after New Hampshire authorities used modern DNA testing technology, the state attorney general’s office said Thursday.
In November 1996, a hunter discovered some skeletal remains in the woods in Hanover, nearly 20 miles away. Additional bones were discovered after the area was searched. Due to the vicinity of Adams’ last known location, investigators suspected the remains might be his, the attorney general’s office said in a news release.
The New Hampshire State Police Major Crime and Cold Case units, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and the University of New Hampshire Forensic Anthropology Identification and Recovery Lab recently examined the case and reached out to Adams’ son to obtain a sample of his DNA.
