A homicide victim whose remains were found 42 years ago in a creek bed. Disappeared from Forth Worth at the age 35. It was difficult to identify the victim, because of missing remains so hey were put away for 4 decades. Dr. Dana Austin reopened the case and claimed that he died from two gunshot wounds.
