Listen to Ep. 5 of The Unidentifieds podcast: Remains found near Multnomah Falls ID'd decades later
In September 1979, two hikers discovered human remains on a rocky slope above a little-used trail near Multnomah Falls. They found bones, a skull and a few personal belongings: gold-rimmed aviator glasses, a yellow cap with black felt letters reading “NT” and a chewed-up checkbook from First National Bank of Oregon. But there was no wallet or other identifying information.
Who did the remains belong to? Police had no leads. No one had been reported missing. For decades the bones sat in a box at the Oregon State Police medical examiner’s office in Clackamas.
Now, more than four decades after the remains were first discovered, John Doe 79-1862 has a name.
This is The Unidentifieds, a limited series podcast from The Oregonian/OregonLive, where we look at missing persons cases – left on evidence shelves for decades.
