TUCSON, Ariz. — The Pima County Medical Examiner's Office is putting out a call for help to hopefully solve a cold case.

20 years ago, in September of 2004, a teenager was shot and killed near the border. Now, genealogists think he may have family in the Tucson area, but they say we might never figure out his name unless more relatives come forward.

"He was in an area that, at the time was more restricted to drug smuggling than people smuggling, just inside the border, not too far from Sasabe, Mexico," said Dr. Bruce Anderson, a forensic anthropologist at the medical examiner's office.
