DNA technology has helped police in Western Australia unlock the mystery behind the unidentified human remains discovered on a highway almost a decade ago.
The man's body was found along the Victorian Highway in Kununurra, about three kilometres east of Cockatoo Springs, back in June 2015.
Recent advances in investigative genetic genealogy were able to positively identify the man as Gary John Schmidt
Detectives have made a public appeal for anyone that may recognise Schmidt or may have information surrounding his movements in 2015 prior to his death to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report on the Crime Stoppers Western Australia website.
