The police in the American state of Virginia announced that the remains of Logan Bowman, who had been missing for 20 years, were found in a wooded area near the town of Gaylux.
The boy was only 5 years old when he disappeared without a trace in January 2003 in Grayson County.
The identification of the remains was made possible by a collaboration between local police and a private Texas company specializing in genealogy and genome sequencing. Using an advanced DNA sequencing technique, the company found a match between the DNA from the remains found and the DNA of family members.
The boy’s father, Wayne Bowman, said he was satisfied that his son would finally get a dignified burial. With the remains found, he does not lose hope that justice will also prevail.
Now I can move on. I now know where my son is. It hurts, but everything will be fine, he told WFXR, quoted by Novini.bg.
Meanwhile, the case surrounding the boy’s disappearance and death has been reopened. Cynthia Davis, the boy’s biological mother, and her then-boyfriend, Dennis Schermerhorn, were charged in 2003 in connection with Logan’s disappearance.
