25-Year-Old Mystery Solved: Body Found in Kentucky Lake Identified as Long-Sought FBI Fugitive

Human remains discovered in Lake Barkley nearly 25 years ago have been identified as those of Roger Dale Parham, thanks to advanced DNA testing and forensic genealogy. Parham, who was awaiting trial on criminal charges in 1999, disappeared and was thought to have fled the area to evade prosecution. The cause of his death is yet to be determined, but due to the circumstances in which he was found, the case is being investigated as a homicide. Kentucky State Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
