A Prince William Police Search and Rescue operation discovered skeletal remains in the area. The remains were sent to the Virginia State Lab for a DNA comparison against DNA profiles of Archer's possible relatives.

Now police report that the DNA analysis resulted in a match for Linda Archer from a relative. Police are continuing the investigation into a cause of death.
