Sleep well, Robert.

(You've got a typo in the third paragraph, I think the word should be 'identity'.)

However, through advancements in Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy, the man's name was revealed: Terry Ketron. He traveled from Kentucky to Florida in the early 1980's with a "female companion" named Connie or Bonnie with an unknown last name, the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office (PBSO) announced.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office over the years exhausted all traditional DNA testing methods without finding the name of the victim, whose death was ruled a homicide after his remains were found in 1985. After sending evidence to Othram — a company that performs forensic genetic genealogy and DNA sequencing for law enforcement — in April 2022, the victim was identified as Terry Ketron.

Ketron, originally from Campbell County in Kentucky, traveled to South Florida some time in the early 1980s with a girlfriend, and the last time his relatives heard from him, he expressed they were having problems, the Sheriff’s Office and Othram said in recent news releases. Now that he has been identified, the Sheriff’s Office is asking the public to help identify the woman in the photo with Ketron, Barbera said.
