A set of human remains that were found in Snohomish County in 1979 have been identified as those of an Everett man who had gone missing.

The remains were buried at Cypress Lawn Cemetery in Everett on March 15, 1979. The case grew cold over the years, until Det. Jim Scharf with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office cold case team and retired Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Ken Cowsert started reexamining old unsolved homicides and unidentified persons cases in 2008.
The medical examiner’s office entered the case into the National Missing and Unidentified Person System, a federal database with information on missing, unidentified, and unclaimed persons cases from across the country. In 2021, the medical examiner’s office started working with forensic genealogy corporation Othram to obtain advanced DNA profiles for unsolved cold cases.
