George Smith Senior Finally Identified | Dallas News
Description
After 17 years, the remains found on Nunivak Island in Alaska have been identified as George Smith Senior, a hunter who vanished in 2009 when his snowmachine broke through ice near Togiak. Search efforts at the time yielded no results, and the case went cold — until this year, when Alaska State Troopers’ Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons unit used DNA from family relatives to solve the mystery. A match was made with the remains discovered in October 2009, bringing closure to his family after a hauntingly long wait — a sobering reminder of the Alaskan wilderness’s unforgiving nature.
