A man whose skeletal remains were discovered at remote campsite in the wilderness of Washington state has been identified more than 25 years after the grisly find. The remains were found inside a sleeping bag in a tent in a remote area of Olympic National Park in the year 2000, according to the National Park Service. Investigators were initially unable to determine the person’s identity, but in 2025 a lab specializing in forensic genealogy used a DNA sample to identify possible relatives.
