An older man left his home in Humboldt County, chasing a dream to explore the United States in the 1970s. He told family members he was looking for gold in Nevada, but they eventually stopped hearing from him. Decades later, the body of Virgil R. Renner has been identified, thanks to an effort to solve Mohave County AZ cold cases and help from a woman’s detailed family history.
After over 40 years, authorities announced that they have finally determined the identity of a man whose remains were discovered in a desert area in northwest Arizona back in 1982.
