The Mendocino Sheriff’s Office has announced it has identified the remains of a man who disappeared 38 years ago. Investigation into the disappearance of Warren David Hawkins of Cowlitz County, Washington began 12 years ago when his remains were found in Piercy. With the help of new DNA technology at the Othram Lab in The Woodlands, Texas, the sheriff’s office was able to identify Hawkins, whose sister reported him missing after he’d left for a bus trip with an unknown male companion.
