Human remains discovered at Algonquin Park more than 45 years ago have been identified through the use of investigative genetic genealogy.
That’s according to the OPP, who said the remains discovered near the Hardwood Lookout Trail in April of 1980 have finally been identified as Eric Singer of Cleveland, Ohio.
Police said when the remains were found they were determined to be that of a white male between the ages of 18 and 21, who died sometime between July of 1971 and the spring of 1978.
In April of 2022 DNA was submitted to the DNA Doe Project for analysis in an attempt to determine identity through family members.
By September 2023 the presumptive identity was verified, and family was notified.
This summer, Singers’ three sisters walked the Hardwood Lookout Trail and visited the place where he spent his final days.
