Police in Western Australia have recently made a major breakthrough in a case that has puzzled them for almost a decade. Thanks to the advancements in DNA technology, they have finally been able to identify the human remains that were discovered on a highway back in 2015. The remains, belonging to a man, were found near Cockatoo Springs on the Victorian Highway in Kununurra.
At the time, the state of the body made it impossible for authorities to identify the man. This sparked an investigation by local detectives, which was later taken over by the missing persons team. Despite their efforts, the man remained a mystery for years. But with the help of investigative genetic genealogy, he has finally been identified as Gary John Schmidt.
Schmidt, who was 46 years old at the time of his death, was originally from the Northern Territory. It is believed that he was travelling around Australia before his untimely death. However, the police are still unsure of how he died and why he was in the Kununurra area. They suspect that he may have been on his way back to the Northern Territory when he met his tragic end.
In an effort to gather more information about Schmidt and his movements in 2015, detectives have made a public appeal for help. They are asking anyone who may have known Schmidt or have any information about his whereabouts before his death to come forward. This can be done by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or by submitting a report on the Crime Stoppers Western Australia website.
