The man, identified using DNA testing, died from a gunshot wound to the head and was buried in a shallow grave.
The body of a California man has been identified more than 27 years after being found in a northwest Arizona desert area, authorities said Tuesday.
Mohave County Sheriff’s officials said remains of a man between 30 and 40 years old were discovered near Kingman in January 1996. The man, now identified as Sherman George from the Los Angeles area, died from a gunshot wound to the head, was buried in a shallow grave and may have been a homicide victim, officials said.
Attempts to identify the remains were unsuccessful until February, when sheriff’s investigators sent a DNA sample to a Texas-based forensic research company.
