''JOLIET, IL — Marcus Wright was 24 years old when he vanished without a trace from Joliet in 2013. On Monday, Will County Coroner Laurie Summers announced on Facebook that two human bones found in late March in a wooded area of the Will County Forest Preserve are those of the missing Joliet resident.
According to Summers, the Joliet Police Department developed new leads earlier this year and that resulted in several searches of an area east of McKay Street, including a wooded area. Two human bones were found on March 24 and the Will County Coroner's staff took possession of them.
One bone was sent to Othram Inc. in Texas, along with a DNA swab from Marcus Wright’s mom. Othram Inc. has partnered with the Will County Coroner Office on several occasions these last two years, resulting in the resolution of four other cold cases.''

How sad that so little of his remains have been found. At least he has been identified thanks to Othram magic. God bless his mom who has much to deal with at this time.
 

''In an astonishing development, on June 30, 2023, Othram Inc. representatives notified the Will County Coroner’s office that there was a 100% KinSNP relationship match between the bone and Marcus Wright’s mother. This revelation provides a crucial breakthrough in the long-standing mystery surrounding his disappearance.

The Joliet Police Department, in conjunction with the Will County Coroner’s office, will continue to investigate the circumstances of Marcus Wright’s disappearance and the recovery of his remains. This latest discovery offers renewed hope for answers and closure for his grieving family, who have waited patiently for any news about their missing son.''


''As the investigation unfolds, Joliet residents are urged to come forward with any information that might help the authorities solve this mysterious case. The Joliet Police Department has vowed to leave no stone unturned until justice is served and Marcus Wright’s story reaches its rightful conclusion.''
