‘It’s solvable’: Banff RCMP hoping to identify man’s remains recovered decades ago | The Star
Jan 25 2022
''The skeleton of a Caucasian man between the age of 19 and 35 was discovered by a tour guide there in 1998. Police have been unable to identify the man, despite a number of clues found with his body.
Investigators believe the man was likely closer to 25 years old, was about 5 feet 10 inches tall, had rickets as a child and probably died at least two years before he was found on the backside of Sulphur Mountain about four kilometres south of the town of Banff.
RCMP say DNA from the remains has been uploaded into the national databank. Potential missing person’s files have been cross referenced and ruled out by either DNA or dental records. And there are not any known outstanding missing person’s cases that match the case.''
''There were several items located in the area of the remains, including keys from a 1970s or ‘80s Chrysler with a War Amps key tag, pictures, and a black wallet with “Amity” written in gold letters, but no identification.''
''Police also recovered a tattered photo in the wallet with a Quebec address on the back, but that hasn’t yielded anything either.
“It was a near a seniors’ home or a hospital,” Rice said.'
