What an incredible sleuthing journey!
Congratulations to ALL who played a part in solving this mystery! It’s really awesome that those students were able to collaborate with Othram!

The details of his last known circumstances made me feel sad, but I’m so happy that his case was handled with such dedication, and Mr. Borchers’s remains have finally been identified after all this time.
