Family mystery solved decades after man was last seen
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — A painful family mystery has been solved after authorities in Ohio's Cuyahoga County recently identified a man killed by a train outside a Cleveland suburb nearly four decades ago using new technology.
The medical examiner's DNA Parentage and Identification Department solved the case by linking fingerprints taken from Williams when he was arrested as a teen for stealing a car to the unidentified body from the Berea accident.
Law enforcement officials in Michigan knew that the man killed in Ohio might be Native American.
