Cold Case ID After Decades of Silence | Portland News
Description
In 1972, skeletal remains found near Highway 101 in Coos County, Oregon, went cold for decades—no ID, just bones, dentures, and clothes. But science finally cracked it: Armes Henry Lahti, born in 1909, was identified after a 2025 breakthrough using advanced forensic genealogy and DNA analysis from Othram, with FBI help. His 100% Finnish ancestry was a key clue. Though identified, the case remains open—sheriff’s office urges anyone with info to call 541-396-7800.
