In October 2000, nearly three years after Dennis Craig Edmondson was reported missing, teens found the remains in a desert area in Golden Valley.
Authorities have identified remains found in a northwestern Arizona desert as a man who was missing for nearly 30 years, and now, they are trying to figure out how he ended up there.
The remains were identified using advanced DNA technology as those of Dennis Craig Edmondson, a 26-year-old man who was last heard from in August 1997 and reported missing in February 1998, according to the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office.
On Oct. 22, 2000, nearly three years after Edmondson was reported missing, teens found the remains in a desert area in Golden Valley, about 15 miles west of Kingman, the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office said in the March 3 Facebook post.
“One part of this 28-year-old mystery has been solved,” the sheriff’s office wrote on March 3. “The case must now transition into a death investigation. Investigators are exploring the probability that Edmondson did not die of natural causes and are urging anyone who may have information about this case to come forward.”
USA TODAY has contacted the sheriff’s office to find out more about what Edmondson was up to when his family last spoke to him.
