This is weird, the case is marked as identified but the name is missing. I'm wondering if it's intentional or not.

In October 2022, the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office partnered with Othram, a company specializing in forensic genetic genealogy, officials said.

The skeletal remains were sent to Othram’s laboratory in Texas where scientists created a DNA profile using DNA from the evidence, officials said.

After Othram came back to detectives with leads, investigators used dental records to identify the remains as Rezansoff, officials said.

Rezansoff, described in his obituary as “intelligent, compassionate, and sensitive,” was reported missing in January 2022 “following an undiagnosed illness and the May 2020 death of his wife,” officials said.

Rezansoff was known to help “those who needed a hand” and will be remembered for his “love of nature, fitness and his musical abilities,” according to his obituary.

Kalama is about 135 miles south of Seattle.
