Bones Found in Wisconsin Music Store Chimney Identified as Man Who Last Contacted Relatives in 1970

John Hart—Wisconsin State Journal/AP — Human bones found inside the chimney of a Wisconsin music store in 1989 have been identified as those of a man whose last known contact with relatives was in 1970, authorities said.

Authorities tried unsuccessfully to identify the remains of the person, whom they called “Chimney Doe.” Gwen Knapp of the DNA Doe Project said it took more than two years to develop a DNA profile suitable for investigating genetic genealogy. That led to the bones being identified as those of Kirk, who was born in 1942, was adopted, married twice and had three children.
