Decades-old missing persons case solved with new DNA technology

The remains of a 78-year-old man who went missing in 1991 have been identified in New Hampshire after DNA testing. Benjamin Adams left his home to go for a walk and never returned. Skeletal remains discovered by a hunter in 1996 were suspected to be his, but a positive identification couldn't be made at the time. Recent DNA testing confirmed the remains belonged to Adams with a probability of relatedness of at least 99.999998%. The case highlights the state's commitment to investigating unidentified and missing persons cases.
