"Boy's Rock Collection Yields Jawbone of US Marine Lost in 1951 Training Accident"
Researchers at Ramapo College in New Jersey used DNA analysis to positively identify the skeletal remains of Marine Corps Captain Everett Leland Yager, which were found in a child's rock collection in Arizona. Yager had died in a military training exercise in California in 1951, and his remains were thought to have been buried in Missouri. The unexpected discovery led to the repatriation of his remains to his family, and researchers theorized that a scavenger may have transported the jawbone from California to Arizona.
