A body found in the Arizona desert in 1982 was recently identified as a Humboldt County man who left California in the 1970s in search of Nevada gold.
In September 1982 in rural Mohave County, Ariz. — not far from Nevada's southern tip — locals stumbled across human remains in the dry desert. Along with the decomposing body, officials found one argyle sock, a rusty can opener, remnants of jeans, a leather belt and a short-sleeve shirt, and a handful of toiletries: a hair comb, nail clippers and a toothbrush.
In February, Mohave County Sheriff's investigators sent a sample of the body to Othram Inc., a genetic laboratory in Texas specializing in cold cases. Using genome sequencing and forensic genetic genealogy, the company was able to identify the body. It was Virgil R. Renner from Humboldt County, born in 1910, officials announced this week. Deputies said DNA identification was made through distant relatives, as Renner never had children and his brother and sister were long dead.
