Skeletal remains found in 1994 in Anmore, near Port Moody, have remained unidentified since their discovery.
But Coquitlam RCMP is hoping that will change now with enhanced media and social media opportunities available.
The man’s body was found on Feb. 7, 1994, and the investigation determined his death likely happened in the early spring of 1993. His death was not deemed suspicious but police are hoping to provide the man’s family with closure.
The man is described as Caucasian, between 25 and 40 years old, approximately five feet 11 inches tall, with brown hair and a pronounced jaw.
