Police in Canada and the U.S. have solved a decades-old mystery, identifying a man whose remains were found in the Yukon in 1983.
They’re now asking for help in finding who killed him.
Police say the remains were found in a wooded area near the North Fork Dam and Dempster Highway back in May 1983. RCMP at the time were unable to identify the victim, but deemed the death suspicious.
After an extensive investigation involving more than a dozen Canadian and American agencies, the victim has been identified as 46-year-old Theodore Frederick Kampf of New Jersey.
Kampf was murdered in July 1981, police believe. He was travelling to the Yukon when his family reported him missing.
