Wouldn't it be something if it was Ray Gricar????

A forensic expert has determined that the bones are of a white male, about five-feet eleven in height, age 50 or older. It's estimated that the remains have been at the site for three to ten years.

Authorities identify remains of man found in Bedford County

BEDFORD – DNA testing has confirmed that remains found last month near Route 30 in Bedford County are of a missing man who abruptly left his New York home in 2013 and apparently was spotted walking through the region days later.

Investigators said a Nov. 1 phone call made by a local medical responder, just hours after the media released a rough description of the man was the key to solving the complex case.

Bedford County Coroner Rusty Styer said a local emergency responder told his office he transported an upstate New York man in 2013 who fit the investigators' profile. Authorities then used hospital records from UPMC, a national missing persons database and DNA from his parents to identify him as 47-year-old Robert E. Cochran, of Canajoharie, New York.
