A severed leg that washed ashore in 2022 has been identified and linked back to a man who went missing nearly three decades ago. Authorities in Northern California have confirmed the remains discovered on a Sonoma County beach belong to Walter Karl Kinney, a former banker from Santa Rosa who vanished in late 1999. The identification marks a bizarre addition to a case that has seen the same man identified as a “John Doe” on two separate occasions, decades apart.
